<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="geneva, verdana, arial" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">whenever a client has the opportunity to mess with your coding, even if it is marked out clearly enough for it to be "fool proof" things always go wrong<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">
and I'm takking precautions to make sure that doesn't happen:
all includes are in a separate folder, split into categories and they are HTML files (which can't affect the ASP coding)
