Thanks! I knew that but for the life of me couldn't "see" it when I reviewed the coding. There's always a value in another person reviewing code and also taking a second look at it the next day.
However, according to my browser, the XML page works now but the link doesn't appear when I open the file (offline). I'm guessing this should change once I upload the file to a server and view the page online? Thanks!
