Christopher, thanks for posting this. I'm glad you've gotten some help with
the IE stuff. I don't know XML or mature forms of HTML or CSS that well, but
from your description, I actually feel like I understand it!
Now if only there was a way to incorporate the back button in browsers, but I
feel like that would be a browser upgrade feature and not part of the PHP
code.
