Frustrating is the word... sigh

To my defense, this is not my code. I was just added to this project to
help fix things. I've already fixed a few. Those you listed either slipped
by totally, or were on my to do list. The missing </body> tag, I had not
seen yet, but the missing </tr> was on my list.  Thanks for pointing all of
them out to me! I owe you a beer, or something similar ;)

Now, that is weird. And I don't think I would have ever found it... Wow.
It's a good thing I was sitting down when I read this, otherwise I would
have hurt myself. Is there any reasoning behing this behaviour???? AFAIK,
the align="left" tag is valid HTML.

Very  much so, yes!!!  The only thing you could have done to help even more
would have been to magically erase Netscape 4 from all computers in the
world ! ;-)
