Hi Gerard,

That's why I asked to see your code. There's probably something extra in there (not the this. or the (string) ... you're right that those don't matter) that's affecting how your Pages are running.

Right ... now that you know that it *does* work the way it's supposed to, you should be able to track down what extra stuff you have in there that might be causing the problem. If you still can't find it, post more of your code here and we'll try to figure it out. Otherwise, let us know if you figure it out.
