Pam,

Can't help on the WebTV, but try downloading the file and looking at the 
code (download to a new location so it doesn't overwrite the original -- I 
know, duh, but I've done it :-))

I also use WS_FTP and sometimes, things just happen.

So, I delete the file and upload again.

Also, did you upload the html file as ascii?? Sometimes WS_FTP doesn't 
always default and will upload in binary.

Good luck,
Tamara
