I viewed the code in the lower frame on the http://www.act-europe.fr/texts/news/product_updates/newfeatures_set.htm through such an editor and it revealed for example a missing '=' between the attribute marginwidth and the value "0" in the tag. The file name appeared as prod_newfeature.htm: > >In future, it is a good idea to send a note of a problem >with our web site to report@gnat.com.
