Hi Colin;

Many thanks for your reply.

I moved the first test. It is now at:
http://www.crosswinds.net/~llizard/ascii-animation/testvs1.html

I tried to add another frame and do not understand the Javascript error
message on line 33:
http://www.crosswinds.net/~llizard/ascii-animation/timer_testvs1.html

(I finally found out how to see the errors. I have to type "javascript:"
into the location window. I made the mistake earlier of leaving out the
colon.)

Do I also have to encode + signs?  &#043;
I am getting inexplicable errors on another one that is still on my desk
top. It seems to choke when I put in the style colour codes....

Thanks for the explanation of the style position coding. I actually
understood it for the animation itself. What I haven't got a handle on
is how to position the text on rest of the page (titles, links, etc). I
did it rather inelegantly with line breaks so that the links at the
bottom of the page wouldn't overlap the animation.
