sent this in as a possible bug. I know the code is right. It works in my other editor. Please advise. I can't go further

It is reading quotations. I never put quotes in this or any other time. Duplicated this in an Iphone and a laptop--now I am on my desktop.

Hi Dane,

This is not a bug, I responded to your other post and pointing out that you've added a period between Doctype and HTML where one does not belong. Hope this helps.
