Stephane and all,

Actually, the XHTML is my goal once I get the site re-designed. I hit the=20
panic (*send to techniques*) button a little too soon. I do have the table=
=20
visible in NN 4.5 now, but, I still need to pull the styles from the=20
tables, close the tags and work toward validation.

I have actually validated a couple of pages to the XHTML, so I thought I=20
would save myself the grief of the validator until I knew I was closer.

Instead, I ended up sharing it with all of you, I am very sorry about doing=
=20
that.

Thank you all for your time, and I'll try to keep off the *panic* button=20
until I'm not as tired and cross-eyed.

Sincerely,
Tamara
