Re: display of metadata html

ok, theres a couple of problesm:

1) change your URLS 

xlink:href="http://dodsdev:8080/thredds/cataloggen/catalogs/JPL054.xml";

to dodsdev.gso.uri.edu:8080

since these need to be accessible from off your subnet

2) theres a bug in my html generator for catrefs with absolute URLS such as 
yours. Ill have to think about it and try to get you a fix tommorrow.

3) your catalog has some problems. did you generate these with cataloggen or ?? 
So you have an XML validator like Oxygen or XMLSpy?

4) the catalog is breaking my THREDDS validator, which i will also try to get 
fixed tomorrow, so at least you can use that.

as usual bugs inside of bugs!
