It was just in my last lesson in the HTML book -- 1. use the -- double dash only in comments -- to be safe -- not in a URL 2. a space following the opening and leading the closing double-dash may help the browser recognize the comment. 3. of course, I have no experience with it, yet. Check your text book (W3C?) for "comments" 4. Listen to Barry. He seems to be one of our better informed contributors. Hope this helps. -Richard...
