Thanks again yellow1912 you are very helpful to newbies like myself and as before your answer is spot on. Switched to jquery 1.2.6 and problem went away.

I'll probably go over to the jquery site some time and inform them the problem I observed between using these two plug-ins and jquery 1.3.3. I had tested each plug-in separately using 1.3.3 so didn't think twice about 1.3.3 being the problem.

Thanks again.
