  { 
     echo '<script>displayNewConfig();</script>';  
     echo '<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0">';
     echo '<TR><BR>';
     echo '<TD><B><FONT SIZE=2>Item 1</TD></B></FONT></TR>';

    Are you really situating the BODY area above the HEAD or is it simply an error when pasting the code here?

    Cause maybe you do not know, but it should be the opposite.

    By the way: I didn't want to mean that changing it will work (I don't know, I didn't look at the code itself), but that was so obvious.
