Bjorn and Mark, thanks for the assistance on this.  I'm checking out the HTML
4.01 specifications now to see what I've been doing wrong.  I started out doing
HTML writing when 3.20 was the current spec and for the most part have not ever
completely transitioned to how W3C wants web-pages to work now under HTML 4.01
spec.

I went to their HTML validator and checked out my camelot5.htm page. The only
things it fussed about was that my Doctype line was not valid, and my usage of
the HR command is apparently not correct now.  Otherwise, it does not help me
figure out why Firefox 1.0 PR program will not load my graphics on the
web-page.  The oddest part of it all is this.  If I access the web-page on the
server, Firefox won't load anything at all. If I access it locally from my html
files work directory, the web-page will display, but it won't display any of
the page's images.  But every one of my other web-pages display fine.  So it is
a mystery I have yet to find a solution for.  But I'm still looking now and
then for the answers.

Hope all of you guys had a nice Thanksgiving.  I've got Firefox's official 1.00
release now, but have not installed it yet.  But if the problem is my html
coding techniques, the new offical version will probably also have conniptions
with the web-page I guess.

Probably about time I bit the bullet and learned to use CSS coding and style
sheets, but I've just not wanted to take the time to figure that all out.
Donald.
