Hello.....

A big thank you to all the people who responded, both on the list and
privately. My page now works in IE, Netscape, and Opera, and for now I am
going to be content with that. Doing these complex backgrounds is something
that is new for me, but something that I am totally enthralled by and can't
get enough of. I have found, strangely enough, that it is easier to lay out
the table for a page that has a corner image as well as side and top
borders, more so than it is a page that has just the side and top borders.

Hmmmm, why do I get the feeling I'm back in math class?

Anyway, thanks again to everyone. I knew that I would get the help I needed
on this list.

Dusty
