Yikes! I have to do something about it and I have to do it quick.

Actually I didn't, I got the project something Friday night and has to be ready
by Monday. Thanks for pointing that out.

Yes, this is something I knew was missing. These will be added in the next
stage.

I'll see what I can do about it.

I'll tell it to the designer. Thanks

Aaah, this is the 4th point what I have to fix. Haven't finished the coding yet.
Sorry

Started fixing that problem something like 20 mins ago. Damn it's a pain... The
site is spread all over the place. One part of the table is in one *.inc file,
the other part of the same table is in another *.inc.

Fixed that, haven't uploaded yet.

Thanks for your time, I appreciate it. Well, now back to work - there's plenty
of it as I could read from your mail and by looking at the code itself.

Yours,
Lauri
