TYME} It validated with TidyHTML.  Validators never like my end tags.  A 
tradeoff.  Anyone who wants to discuss it, please start a new thread, since 
I did not solicit opinions about that.  As for the 2 other items (2 tags 
being capitalized), I fixed it just after posting.

TYME} Yes, that removed fixed the bg issue for Firefox.

TYME} I do not yet know what level of browser support the client is looking 
for.  Might need the table layout.  Same true of leaving in the align 
attributes. (Typing them force of habit from way back.) They are easily 
removed later.   A couple line DOCTYPE is very easy to change.
