RE: FLASH: soccer championships - test please

[Tewes]

Hei Matt,

the (almost) final version is on.


http://www.dpa.de/info/test/em2000/index.html


Made some changes: increased the hotspot zone and added a new one over the

text. That should be enough, I think. Look at the teams-section, made some

changes there, too.

The Germans won�t even make the first round :-)) I�ll take any bet.


	>Who's your client ? and why ?? (Sorry, don't understand German, so

I might have missed

Our clients are mainly the German newspapers (the online-departments), I�m

working at the dpa, it�s German�s biggest news-agency. And we try to sell

these flash-specials it to various clients: the papers, sponsors,

sport-sites and so on. We have had specials for the tour de france, we have

one for the formula 1 season 200

and there will be one for the olympic games.


Ciao Kalle
