Richard, i got it to work, but i'm now banging my head
on an extension that stores pennies and converts to
dollar and cents. anyway, i'll figure it out
eventually.
i haven't made a decision yet. i'm thinking through
three projects right now and working through the agile
webdev book - all on my not so free time. i'll get
there, but i need to think it through more so it gels
in my head.
thanks for the help.
