confusedmoron: I am disappointed that darrenteo8 has not responded. I has hoped to nudge him toward self-dependence in writing and debugging code. I'm not sure giving him a solution is the best approach, but who knows.

darrenteo8 - is any of the above helpful? We'd like to hear from you!

I've always liked to have a working example of things I didn't understand. That why I could look at it and fully understand what was going on. Otherwise I would find myself throwing bits of code in until it works and never fully understanding why it works.
Personal preference I guess.
Would love to hear from darrenteo8!
