You are absolutely right, Barry. I'm so used to the wysiwyg Frontpage 
editor, I hardly bother to look at the HTML any more! Shame on me!

I see that I have some work to do on sfbaka.net. :-(

Fortunately, Frontpage's HTML editor has a good Find and Replace function, 
so it won't take long to fix all of them.

Thanks Barry,

Wright
