Question: what version of the toolkit are you using? 0.3? CVS?

Ok, think I found the problem with this. This document hasn't been updated in 
nearly a year and a half, but the looks of it. Sorry!

The first problem was that the <script> tags were declared with a language 
level of "JavaScript1.2" instead of "JavaScript" or "JavaScript1.5". Mark 
discovered that the 1.2-specific declaration induced a "quirks" mode in 
Mozilla that was causing us all kinds of headaches. As a result, we now 
explicitly don't load the environment if we detect that we're in quirks mode. 
Soooo, the right way to declare the scripts at the top of the page would be:

	<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

Next up, it used a now-extinct version of our event handling infrastructure 
was being used. Instead of:

	__env__.addEvtFP(loadFoo, 'onload');

You'll want to use:

	__sig__.connectByName(__env__, "onLoad", null, "loadFoo");

The last major change is actually a simplification. On pages that you're 
loading, you now no-longer have to call load_page(); from the document's 
onLoad handler. Just include load_page_callback.js and you're set!

The document has been updated with these changes:

http://netwindows.org/docs/round_trips.html

Let me know if you're still having trouble using the now-updated example.

Sorry for the inconvenience!
