You're right, thanks!  I fixed the missing </button>.  I'd like to
find a little more documentation.  The examples that come with it are
good, but there were some things I wasn't sure about and I found it
really difficult to turn up anything useful on the Web.  For example,
it would be nice if the buttons were bigger.
