Yes but I might have been viewing a cached page. Disregard this for now.
If it turns out to be a problem we can work on it.

Yes. It's in /var/www/html/bobs

I've found that the problem is related to Opera. I just tested with
Mozilla and it works flawlessly. 

I'm the kind of guy the put some pressure at people at my workplace to
use Mozilla and/or Opera instead of IE. (same goes for any other MS
program with serious security issues.)

Please don't use fancy features unless it's essential. I not happy about
including javascript at all but I found it to be needed for selecting
lots of files quickly. If it should fail it is not critical but
annoying.

I'll try to iron out this problem. I'm looking for a solution but if I
don't find an acceptable one I think we should use an ordinary image
link instead.

This should really work in any browser which supports javascript.
Please test in both Mozilla and Opera if it's not too much trouble.
