Thanks so much for the feedback Fred! This is my first rails project that I'm writing, so I need lots of help. The java script tags were an error I noticed right after I posted, I usually put it in the head. Not intentional. But, as far as the many real problems with my code, could you give me some idea of how it should look corrected? I'm starting with nothing, pretty much, so any hint would help.
