message indicating that they received an error rather than the full blown tech
version useful only to programmers.  Whenever I switch to the friendly error
page I've created, I loose the copy of the ...

Is the content wider than will fit in the table?  Does it do the same thing

this happen when I use horizontal rules (<HR> tags).  If you have one on the
