Opal, this is EXACTLY the kind of thing we don't want people doing . . . and the kind of thing that makes Ed and etc. go "maybe we should take html away from the Teeming Millions."

Please don't do this again.

I'm going to close this thread . . . if i can. If I can't, I'm going to have to show it to the guys upstairs.

Well, the board lists 2 replies to this thread as yet, but I can't see them. Are they really there?
