This kind of problems happens often and I couldn't found a explanation. Long strings with 'symbol' chars like > _,.'`" < produce errors in tables, layers ... (both browser). Mostly the problem can be solved by adding or removing a char (Add an other char at line1,pos1 of the layer). This was a real problem for my ANSI2HTMLtable program - there are too many 'not allowed' string combinations, depending from the browser. The only solutions is to use only alphabet chars or replace(remove, add) a char manually.

I think netscape sorts this out but MSIE just shoves the text into the box as-is.

I am just shooting in the dark here (as if you all didn't know that). My method for learning anything to do with the computer is "trial and error to the nth degree". I don't really understand what you wrote Martin. I just got e-mail from Joan saying that her fireworks animation works in her MSIE4 and Netscape 4. Would you people with your newfangled MSIE4 and Netscape 4 mind looking at this revised version and tell me if it looks correct? http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Studios/9334/MThomasanim2.htm Thanks. I'm intrigued by Bertrand's applet method of animation. It looks much nicer than the Javascript versions and appears on first glance to be easier to impliment.

Well, to speak the truth, I have nothing to deal with the Applet part of the animation : I "just" made the ascii-animations themselves, that's all. It's Vincent Lepetit (mailto:vin...@loria.fr) who made the Java-viewer part, and I know it's not over yet : when he has time, he'll try to implement an optional system of compression so that the biggest animations can be viewed in shorter time. For exemple, the "Les Caribous de l'Espace" animation (initial size : 733 Kb of raw text) would weight only 31 Kb. Nevertheless, big animations are rather rare, therefore such a system shouldn't interest much people 'xcept me. -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
