You are quite right! I allowed my self frustration, and got to working on
the wrong file. When I went to the right file,with your help I quuickly
found the error, and corrected it. Now it seems to work smoothly. Thank
you brother.
By the way, can you recommend a good "syntax checker" for html files? I've
got a lot of files, that play well in Firefox, but to check them in
Windows I have to use VirtualBox with IE. Or maybe that's the best way
anyway. Aside from that sort of situation, I don't usually let Windows
out of it's cage.
