True, you could also have used the // comment, which only does one line. /* and */ are useful because they can span more than one line.

Ah, the other error, also very simple:
preloadimages("blind.GIF","fictp.JPG","muslog1.GIF","ab.GIF","postc.GIF","crop1.GIF,"coldwt.jpg","crop2.gif")

should be

preloadimages("blind.GIF","fictp.JPG","muslog1.GIF","ab.GIF","postc.GIF","crop1.GIF","coldwt.jpg","crop2.gif")

You missed a quotation mark after crop1.GIF.

aok,

There is something else you should fix. The correct layout for an HTML page is like this:

<html>
<head>
.
. stuff like titles go in the header
.
<script>
.
. scripts go in the header too
.
</script>
</head>

<body>
.
. main page content goes in the body
.
</body>

If you notice in your page you have two body tags in the beginning right after the <head> tag. Make sure you get rid of the first <body> tag and move that second one right after the </head> tag.

The page works fine even with these errors because it totally depends on how the HTML standards are rendered in each individual browser.

Cheers!
