Actually (read for this) that's what it was initially. <smile> My
instructor had me change it, because he thought that it was messing up the
PHP involved, though I can't remember offhand what that particular problem
was. It's been a couple of weeks since I've really dived into this project,
but it's been bugging me.)
I'll fiddle with that a bit and let you know if it worked...
Thanks for checking it out!

"I am a free prince and have as much authority to make war on the whole
world as he who has a hundred sail of ships and an army of a hundred
thousand men in the field. And this my conscience tells me; that there is
no arguing with such sniveling puppies who allow superiors to kick them
about the deck at pleasure, and pin their faith upon the pimp of a parson,
a squab who neither practices nor believes what he puts upon the
chuckle-headed fools he preaches to." - Charles Bellamy, pirate captain
