Is 'CHECKED' xhtml compliant?  I probably need to go back to the books 
and standards but I thought it had to checked="checked".

Thinking on it, outside my little box, you're right.  A simple checkbox 
would work.  I think in the pseudo-design stage some of what are now 
true/false fields were going to have multiple values instead.  Hence 
psuedo-design.  (More properly rock-throwing-design: design something and 
let others throw rocks at it -- apply gum and bailing wire with a little 
spot painting to make it look good.)

It would sure clean up my coding issues.  Thanks.
