Ed, there are some serious problems with the code on that page - even the
W3C validator won't parse it in order to indicate what the problems are.

If you'd like, I could tidy up the source for you and then _all_ browsers
would be happier campers, including Courier. Simply adding a correct
encoding declaration to the page may help.
