With the right combination, you can make my site look like a site 'written circa '95', or you can have a more modern feel... (Controls are in the top right corner and requires javascript support to be turned on). All this while still maintaining HTML 4.01 compliance which means that the *widest* possible audience should be able to view my website as intended... PS. Comments or suggestions are always welcome. (I'm happy to upload/email the javascript + css to any interested in doing similar with their own site so they can have a similar effect). -- Darran (aka Chewy509) brought to you by Google Groups!

That's a neat idea to let the viewer chose the font size... those with poor eyesight can view in comfort. Nathan.

DNS requests to obtain the IP address of your site consistently fails. If it's behind a permanent IP, maybe you can specify that instead?

The third click on the "colors" style button results in what? The loss of colors? Anyways, those buttons could be placed with absolute positioning inside some <div> tags to prevent movement when the margins of the page change. <style type="text/css"> ..buttonset {position:absolute;left:450px;top:20px;} </style> .... <div class="buttonset">...</div> Or you can fix the classic.css page to text-align: justify; to keep the presentation uniform. To get the size of the CSS pages a little smaller, you could change the following items: padding-left: 20pt; padding-right: 20pt; margin-top: 10px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; to: /* no need to provide right, it's inherited from the left */ padding-left: 20pt; /* no need to specify the other directions, they're all made 10px here */ margin: 10px; Don't know if that helps you at all, but you seem to be on a free server which limits the amount of information going out from it, and everyone benefits from smaller pages (they load faster!).

You're not the first to have this error? I'm using a free host, that some ISPs have choosen to block. Nothing I can do to fix it. However I'm in the middle of finding another host due to this...
