That's OK. That's how I use it. I'm probably thinking of print
"Content-type: text/html\n\n";
Thou I prefer to use the $user=param('user') and just hard code the CGI.

Fair point. Actually both IE and FF are both forgiving (to me, at least)

Real web browser? Since IE and FF take the lion share I'm just coding for
them. It maybe that Opera etc may baulk at the code but I'll have to live
with that.

Appreciate that. I see you have added the hover, active and visited. I'm
now adding DOCTYPE where I had earlier ignored it.
Thanks for the above. Much appreciated.
