Dick, just think about which makes more sense:
Question: Is it Friday?
Answer: Yes
or
Answer: Yes
Question: Is it Friday?
(which is how you are doing it)
You should snip the bits you don't want to reply to, and insert your answers
after the bits you do - as you will see most people doing. It makes it
easier for everyone to read and is the convention on this group at least.
Also, posting huge amounts of code means that everyone who is willing to
answer your question has to copy and paste it into a text editor, upload it
somewhere and look at it. If you post a link to a working (or non-working)
page, everyone can look at much more easily and you will (or may) get much
more help.
It isn't a question of being smart (or a lot of us wouldn't be here); it's a
question of writing things logically and helpfully.
