Hi Suzanne,

That is the code I gave, except with the null false text. It didn't work for
the poster. I tested it on my system and to my surprise, it didn't work. I
then tested what you have given, and it didn't work. With a blank space in
false text, it did work for me but not for the poster. No reason I can think
of.
