Did any of the HTML validators catch the problem?? And furthermore, this is simply another example of technology that doesn't fail in a logical manner, making it nigh impossible to track down. It's not your fault. Many examples of this exist in this business. Consider the stupid error messages programmed into DOS, i.e., "Command or file name not found"!! That pathetic piece of shit doesn't even know if it can't find the program or a frickin' argument' target?? And it doesn't tell you what the hell it was looking for, or where?? Unix systems measure "uptime" in years, Winblows measures it in minutes. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
