You can't just paste HTML into the Dream Maker like that. You need to specify the output method (where the HTML will go) and the recipient (the person it will be displayed to). Personally I would reccomend something like usr<<browse("html").

Html cannot be inserted directly into a .dm file. Html is understood by a browser, like Internet Explorer or Dream Seeker's built in browser, it is not understood directly by Dream Maker. In order to diplay html to the user, you'll have to use browse().

Also, for such large documents as the one you've posted, I'd suggest saving them as .html files, which you can easily reference in the browse() instruction.

[Edit: Drat, someone beat me to it.]

In response to IainPeregrine
You don't HAVE to use browse(), you could, for example, have it where there's a verb people can click and it would run a .html file.
