Also, when posting your code, please use code tags so that your code will retain its formatting and be readable. To do this, either use the "code" button at the top of the forum Message editor or place the tag [code] at the top of your block of code and the tag [/code] at the bottom, like so:
[code]
  // your code block goes here.
  // note the differences between the tag at the top vs the bottom.
[/code]or
{code}
  // your code block goes here.
  // note here that the tags are the same.
{code}Good luck.
