I don't know if the tutorial is wrong or not, but I do know I had similar
problems following the tutorial ... and it frustrated me no end for ages. I
did manage to fix my first problems, by redo-ing the work, and im not sure
if I did it differently or the same, but it fixed the problem.

Yes I can understand that feeling well. I so nearly did the same thing, becs
I thought TV was something *wonderful*... and it is good, but not nearly the
wonder drug I thought.

The title of the tutorial made me think it was going to be such a better way
of doing everything, perhaps becs it is css based and so many of the other
tutorials are tables based, I thought it was more what I wanted. And it is
good that the tutorial is at least css based.

My biggest frustration now is not directly with TV, but more with the fact
that very few of the extensions have been checked with TV, and the
documentation is for the old way, which makes it awkward to work out things
I know nothing about ... like hooks :)

If I wasn't so far along with my mapping when I realised it, I think I would
have gone back myself :)

Good luck with it all...
