Hmmmm
I've done what you asked - and my code is correct;
<td>
<u>{$lng.lbl_advanced_search}</u></td>
i placed the entire orginal "skin1" back in place to test if it was teh tpl files but it still dont work - so im thinking that its perhaps something to do with the database?
any clues / pointers on why it wont show?
see the site under development here and test the advanced serach;
