Hi Beauregard,
I posted a reply to your first response, buy it appears to have
gotten lost in the aether, notwithstanding Michelson and Morley's
apparent proof that there is no "ether" :-)
No matter. That's been overtaken by events, i.e. please see my
response to Jonathan and take a peek at my latest version at
http://home.comcast.net/~CaptQueeg/_Mian.html.
As usual, thanks again for aiding me in my HTML-CSS education.
Best wishes,
Richard
