Here's the error. You shouldn't have <!-- This opens a new comment
without closing the one above it. A "loosely" complient browser
would probably ingore this, but Voyager is /very/ strict. So, it
most likely will go nuts. And there should be a space after the word
"End" to close the comment. So, the line should read -- End -->

Also, the first line (before the opening <HTML> tag) of any HTML code
should specify in proper format the version of HTML you are coding in.
For example,
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
The !DOCTYPE HTML tag specifies that you are using the final version
of 3.2 HTML from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
It's not really necessary in most cases, but is technically /required/
for HTML 3.2 documents; however, most browsers work without it. Also,
it's nice, if you're trying to figure out why some site won't work on
your browser, to know which version HTML it was coded in. It also
helps the browser, too; since it "knows" what to look for when
interpreting the page
Happy Coding...
