    OK Guys (Dave);
    
    I DO understand the javascript being turned off issue which I believe is 
    becoming all too common these days.  But HOW does one actually perform 
    what I am attempting to do?
    
    The closest I've come is to code a named DIV section in my code with the 
    DOM attribute display='none'.  Then at the appropriate time (as with an 
    onClick or onSubmit) I try to dynamically alter the style to turn the 
    display on.
    
    If NOT with javascript, then with what?  and HOW?
