That's really weired. The file is displayed at the bottom of single messages, 
and the message list, but NOT at the form, which you reach with the "Edit" 
command. So all I can suggest ist the following:

- Hit the reload button on your browser each time you change that file, to 
make sure the browser does not display a page from its cache

- The HTML file is *included* in the normal page, so it should not contain 
<HTML> or <BODY> tags. Start with a simple file containing something like

<center>Test</center>

and see what you get.

- Make sure the file is in the elog "resource" directory, which gets 
displayed if you start elogd with the "-v" flag.

Let me know if any of this helped.
