OK, it looks like whatever is happening it is local to my installed
Firefox browser. I assume if it were a system problem ie Windows 2000 it
would show up in IE as well. So, I can forget some undiscovered html
problem. Thanks for the assist. As to some items being off center in FF
but not in IE that's a cleanup job that was in progress when I started
worrying about missing entries. IE centers everything but FF needs those
<center></center> on each table <td></td>. I suppose for starters a
clean Firefox reinstall wouldn't be amiss. Thanks again.
