Way cool, Jeff!  I fiddled with it using Moz from work, and found
that the "Blark Properties" view doesn't display at all in NS 4.75
from home.  It looks like the next-to-outermost table is closed
oddly::

  <tr valign="top">
   <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" > <br /> </td>
   <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" colspan="2">
   <br />
    <input type="submit" value=" Change ">
   </td>
  </tr>
 
 </table>
 </td></tr><table>
 </form>
 </div>

 </div>
 
  
   </td>
  </tr>
 </table>

 </body>
 </html>
