Thank you so much for all the wisdom you've all shared with me on this one. The problem was solved when someone suggested I stored the JS into a variable and used the variable in the table itself (made the tables cleaner for debugging and for some reason the scalar runs differently than just the code did by itself *ponders that for a minute*). The problem is solved but from what you monks have showed me, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done with this.

Normally I indent with PerlTidy and I appologize for not doing it before posting this node. It was used originally but since then lots of code was added and must have it more difficult for you to read and understand. For indents of printing as well, that usually gets fixed when I use PerlTidy and that may have helped solve the problem quicker (as one of you suggested).

Thank you for sharing the differences between commas and semi colons, I'm sure that will come in handy on nearly all the scripts I write. Also, thank you for the shortcut for the  , that'll make it look a lot cleaner :) Again, thank you for all your help. Perl is a tough language to get into but with people you like around it makes it possible to take a step forward.
