Of course you're right, Andreas, that people could just copy the code.
(That's what I did.)

I have also not addressed the '<' and '>' problem. I have been diligent
about it in my still ascii but have not noticed any glitches in the
javascript animations. And that bllasted llittle llizard has a number of
'>'s and/or '<'s to really mess things up. Have you noticed a problem
when you look at the animated llizards?

In fact, I just did a little test and if I replace <  by  &lt; as you
say in your FAQ, I have an animation of llizards who are quite
malformed!

This:
         o
              o
     o ---%^^,   
         / __>_/o
     o       >
         o __>,^
           \ /
           ~|\
            |~
            -
ejm97     ( * )
            -

became this:

         o
              o
     o ---%^^,   
         / __&gt;_/o
     o       &gt;
         o __&gt;,^
           \ /
           ~|\
            |~
            -
ejm97     ( * )
            -

But as you say, this has little to do with ascii-art here in the
newsgroup and more to do with HTML coding.

Fellow ascii newsgroup readers, I beg all of your collective pardons for
straying.

I'm glad you like my fishing escapade. Did you see the cheerleader too?
Those are the only new ones so far. And likely the only new ones for a
while because

Yes!

Personally I think 'copy my code and replace my ascii with 
your ascii' should be sufficient but I put a bit more info
on my page as well. 

I like your template. Kangaroo's 'faq' could be nice
too, but I cannot find the '<' and '>' problem mentioned
there.

Anyway a single source for information is not really
possible because we use a slightly different coding.

This is much about HTML and JavaScript coding. So
from my point of view this is of minor importance
for our FAQ. 

BTW: At last a new animation! Thanx for sharing your
fishing adventure with us!

Hm, you are right. I used an old text for my FAQ here
even though I use '>' instead of '&gt;" myself. I do
remember that I had to replace it in my first tries
and I simply forgot that you mustn't in the Javascript
we use. 

Thanx for testing!

Hey, I had missed that one. (I knew that I was missing some
postings lately.) It's great! I love those stick(wo)men!
