Hi, Ram.
Yes, I just recently tried out what Elijah suggested and I also re-started
everything, including re-compiling all my java source and scouring through
my html code...and so far I believe it works!
There must have been something about using "page" and "home" in my link and
probably an error in my overall html writing and then I had to make sure
everything was restarted properly. Elijah's recommendation of checking the
links at the bottom of the web browser helped a lot.
Much appreciation to you guys!
Matt
