 I finally updated the site, though there's not a lot 
of new stuff for you if you read this newsgroup regularly.
There IS a new section with a few web site accessories (gifs)
that I made while messing around (though there are much 
better ones available elsewhere on the web). I'm thinking
of giving up college so that I can dedicate more time to ascii
actually - I hate not having enough tim for it!!

I've just uploaded the brand new version of my web site complete with a

others done away with coz they were naff. :-) Url in the sig as usual. :-)

Thanks for the info. :-) And to everyone who mailed me to tell me
about the problem too! It looked fine on all our browsers, even on 
strict mode, but then, you never know just how picky PC browsers will
be. So my very own net wizard tried the pages on a macintosh emulator
on the amiga, and fixed the problem that way. It was the comment tags
apparently. 

If there are any more probs please tell me? Eeek! The very idea of only 
having a big black space as a web site!! :-}

Hi Hayley -
Today I tried accessing your page but I'm still getting the blank black
screen that someone else was talking about. I have your page listed as a
link on mine. So I put the URL address that you gave above, but no go. :-(

Still black I'm afraid.  :(

I went through your html and changed it till it worked:

http://jota.sm.luth.se/~e93-vkn/pics/ascii/flump.html

(you missed some </td> and </tr>. Netscape is known to choke on that...)

Okay. Robbie assures me that it all works now. ;-)
But we can't really tell from here because amiga
browsers seem to be pretty lenient with html, so
I have to rely on you lot to tell me if it's still 
a big black screen. :-/ 

So.. what does it look like now? :-)

You might want to try using weblint
(http://www.cre.canon.co.uk/~neilb/weblint/) if you want to make sure
your HTML is standards compliant (and isn't missing tags, etc.).  I
don't know if there's an Amiga version, but there /is/ a web version
(ie., you give it a URL and it tells you what you've done wrong :-) ).

Wow! Thanks Veronica! Looks lovely. :-)

I'll pass that on to Robbie tonight, and see if he can go through
and sort it out. Coz I haven't a clue any more: just looking at the 
source gives me a headache. :-)

Me too! :-) Robbie did em, and hidden on the site somewhere there's
a big nerdy looking page on how he did them. :) He won't let me put a 
note on the index page saying he did them, and not me though. :-/ Pfft!

It's supposed to look exactly the same as the original, only working in
Netscape too...  :)

You can just take the one I "diddled" for you and remove one little line
at the beginning of the file... (look at the source, you'll see which
one I mean)

Yes, I tried your page, but it seems the validator is rather picky
about doctypes, so it shows nothing else until you've fixed that.
To me the page looked ok, both rendered and as source.

:-)) I did try validating the last page you know, with one of those
supposedly extra gentle validators... pfffft! Gentle my bum! :-) With
all the new fangled features on this page, I'm not even going to try.
I'll leave that to Robbie - he's responsible for the HTML from now on,
seeing as I kept mucking up the last page, and I do the ascii. :-)
But I will ask him to shove it through a validator to make sure, as a
b'day pressie this weekend. he can't say no then you see. :->

Like the self portrait by the way - wish I could get mine that small! :-)

*cheers*

Hayley

Glad to be of service... and speaking of updating, I have done the same
thing myself.
