I'll post the solution seperately so that it'll be available in the archives for future use.I swear that trying to build a site by reading the WC manual is like getting all the parts manuals that GM publishes, then going to your garage and trying to build a Buick. The info about the parts is there, but there's very little that tells you how to assemble them. I still think that whoever's responsible for it should be horsewhipped and their cat should be shaved.Thanks a lot for trying to help, John.Glenn ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
