Oh really?! So how come this version of your page WORKS?

Could it be that both llizard and I know a tiny little bit more about
this than you do? Like, we've been doing this javascript ascii animation
stuff for quite a while now, without excluding *anything* in our
pictures...

For javascript you have to do some "escaping" (which is more or less
identical to what you do in languages like C):

Change  \  to  \\
Change  "  to  \"
Change newline to  \n

For html you have to do some "encoding":

Change  &  to  &
Change  <  to  &lt;

If you do these five simple changes (a few seconds' work with a good
text edtor) then all "pure ascii" pictures that are printed with
javascript in your html pages will work.


(You didn't even _look_ at that page, did you?)


[Followups STILL set to a more apporopriate group, thought I suspect you
will once again override that and CONTINUE to be rude to the aaa
readers.]
