That sounds perfect.  I am going to go ahead and give the list a shot.  I
recently put a contact form on my (yet to be released) Web site using a PHP
include, and I ran into the double quote/single quote issue when trying to
add class and ID hooks to the form elements.  I soon figured out - thanks to
syntax coloring in TextWrangler - that I needed to use single quotes
instead.  I might be back for a bit of help on this one, but I does appear
to be a easy set up.

It's a good way to break into PHP.  Small steps at a time.

Thanks again.
