As I already do with the table. The divs look interesting, but the tables work,
so I will
look into them when everything else is fixed - if I am still alive!

The titles (eg Yanni xxxxx, above).

I can completely change the color scheme and appearance by loading a new
definition file,
but this would be much simpler if I did not have to encode the values into the
CSS:
#bodystyle { <?php if ($bck_grd_img != '')
{ echo ('background-image:url('.$bck_grd_img.');'); }
else { echo (' background-color:#'.$bdy_clr.';'); } ?>
font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; color: #<?php echo ($txt_clr);
?>;

Thanks, I will look into it.
