Thanks John, This is great! When I trace this, it works. I've applied it to my code, and I think I have added something wrong. What happens is that all the elements just build in a single area.
Here is what I had in the previous code: http://www.apt11.com/test/test.html Essentially, I need "0" to display, then "1", "14" then "2", "15", "28" and so on. Am I not applying your code correctly? My apologies for the bumbling and thanks for the help. fM.
