For some reason this image and the one on 20 June would not download for me from Mr Boyd's site - the text did, but not the image. However both downloaded properly from Paul Lee's site.
The major difference between our two sites is that I do my web pages the old fashioned way (by hand using Notepad), and Scott is an automated one using a Perl script. And though I once made an error doing it my way, errors can occur more often through a script when not monitored. For instance, when the greater-than sign "<" is used followed by an alphabetic character, most HTML browsers see that as the beginning of a tag. And if the word/s between the "<" and the ">" is not a valid tag, then is probably would not be displayed. I usually catch most of these, but it would be difficult for a script to handle all instances of such. Other kinds of problems may also occur which would not be detected by running a script to produce web pages. By my doing so manually, I can even correct some of Jim's slight erros, such as the beginning of this FOTD which read: FOTD -- June 21, 2001 (Rating 5) and should have had a year that was not two in the past. ;-}
While I am writing, my thanks to both you guys for your services to this list....
Thank you very much. :-)
....I do not know what the problem is - I use Opera if that is relevant.
Worked all right this morning from Mr Boyd's site!
You will need to ask Scott what happened from his site. Later, P.N.L. ------------------------------------------------- http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/PNL_Fractals.html http://www.Nahee.com/Fractals/
