OK done that and uploaded the modified you tube models.

Everything I have been working on recently with respect to enhancing the
Connector pages and removing instances of "Display Text" is now committed
into the PageWizards section of the svn.

I have also sorted out my javascript problems - it was those damned flash
player permissions.

Kind regards

Johnathan
