 If you have his finished application I would compare the XML source between the two pages.  I'm sure there's some fancy Eclipse way to do that, but worse case open 2 notepads and put them side by side... then do it manually. But that should give you the answer really.  They should be identical...
 
If you can you could try to post the code here.  Not sure how that works.  But doesn't hurt to try.
 
Keep in mind, that when Declan wrote that tutorial, we were in 8.5.0 and he was also learning as he went.  I think it's safe to say that we might do somethings differently.  Not saying that's your problem, just something to keep in mind. 
 
Compare the two pages and see if you can find the difference.  That's your best bet at the moment I think

Re: Newbie problem getting a simple action to work
 Thank you, David.  
 
Good tip about comparing with the finished app.  Unfortunately they do quite a lot more to it before the end so it's difficult to do a compare with an earlier version of the page.   
 
Also a very valid point about the age of the examples.  At the moment I'm just trying to get my brain to start thinking in xpages rather than classic Notes development so having this sort of ground-up guide is a great jumping off point for the way I learn.  Hopefully this will get me into the correct mindset from which I can get on with figuring out the better ways of doing things that have come along with newer versions of Designer.  
 
Thanks for replying to another of my questions.  And also thanks for all the information you make available on your website.  I always end up making a visit to NotesIn9 when I'm on one of my learning xpages days!
