Slowly drifting to that methodology.  As recently as a year or so ago 
I was vehement about the fact tha WYSIWYG was the only way to fly... 
but as I find myself needing to get into increasingly more complex 
solutions, I am finding it correspondinly less tenable to adhere to 
my GUI-based training.

That, along with James Spahr's suggestion to move the <form> tags out 
of the table, ended up being the solution.  The biggest problem I had 
is that I am even less familiar with the ins'n'outs of javascript 
than I am with hand-coding and debugging html, and the form on what 
is now page 3 of the forms is heavily javascripted.  It is a solution 
I modified slightly, the original being from InfoHiway.  Apparently 
something within this solution is allergic to tables.

Thanks much, all!

(I think I will be unsubbing from a list or two... this place is 
one-stop shopping at it's best!!)

JS

Final bit:  is there a convention on this list regarding sig files?
