Just ried relative path. Didn't work.

    I don't know how to do the above.

    BUT, I just installed a few minutes ago the Safari 5.34.57.2 browser, 
and it, too, works perfectly.

    There is something weird about FF that doesn't bother the other browsers 
at all !

    Also, if I temporarily and quickly place the page on the 'real' server, 
and visit the page, FF runs correctly !  But I have to remove it and use the 
placeholder page for a few more months until I get this project up and 
running.

Thanks for the suggestions.
    (and rather the put up a local server, I guess I'm going to do my 
testing on the other browsers and forget about FF for now. What a pity :(  )
