Martin,
  Thanks for the suggestions.  We are developing in a limited environment (a 
corporate training department), and don't have access to anything other than 
simple html files (and anything interesting I can do inside of such), as well 
as various Macromedia products.  Can't do anything server side, our courses 
can't even directly interface with our Learning Management System (LMS) yet...

However, one advantage of the environment is that all the desktops of 
learners are standardized on MSIE 6, so I can be pretty confident that 
anything IE-specific that I develop will work.  It is a 12,000+ employee 
company, so I don't see any overnight change in browser standard ocurring... 
:-)
