I appreciate the comments from everyone. After these and a few more
searches in Google I finally figured out what was happening. The WEBBOT
pseudo-tag has a component (TAG="BODY") that appears to mean "only use the
stuff between <body> and </body>, which makes sense. Otherwise you could
end up with meta tags being redefined. Anyway, the web author only had the
html to define a table in his includes. No <body> or </body> tags and this
resulted in nothing being included. He assures me that mine is the only
server he's ever encountered that works this way. Oh well, it seems to be
fixed now. Thanks.
