Thanks Hitch, I think I understand what you're saying. I'm off to w3schools for a while I guess.
I want to get through this and get great results, and the route to that is obviously so varied and complex that nobody but me can take it now.
I'm still open to any help and suggestions along my journey... from anyone who is willing and able.
Many thanks to those who have been so helpful so far. I'm still listening...
