Othaglot and Cane - Story Thread

Puke: I'll sort that tomorrow, should be simple enough. two words in the stylesheet should do it.

Baron: I'll see what I can do, I should be able to fish out a couple of decent web resources on cross-browser compatibility. Bear in mind though that it's something of a miracle that it works as far as it does, given that (a) This is the project I used to teach myself javascript and css from scratch (b) I approached it without any kind of planning other than "that would be cool" and (c) like every other kind of code I produce, it's wierd, kludgy, eccentric and probably about 3 times bigger than it needs to be. (But it's mine) But yeah, I'll see what I can do. Maybe I'll even try browser testing it myself rather than waiting for you to do it=-)

Anyway, now the site is fully functional in at least one browser, do you guys have any comments on the content as opposed to the container?

It doesn't work either with Firefox 1.7 (former Firebird, so based on Mozilla and one of the latest Version around), but the mothballed IE 5 or 6 (the one who ships with Windows XP) works fine. I think Mozilla handles layers in another way than IE, so it might be the cause of the problem as clicking on the buttons doesn't do anything.

As for the stories, I have just started reading Othaglot and Cane, and I do enjoy the read so far. Not much more to say for now, as I have only finished the first two chapters.

Hell we should all get together and start our own sci-fi book publishing company.

Book for the fans written by fans. Include fan fiction from many games, both sci-fi and other.

we'd have to get permission from the owners of those universe's.

Owners of those universes... Man I'd like to own a universe.

Be a ***** to redecorate though, and as for the heating bills.

In theory, puke's complaint should now be fixed. Now for the difficult bit...

Just Downloaded Opera 7. Damn, when did Opera go from being a neat, tidy little browser with a few cool features to a cluttered, confusing unusable monstrosity?

BTW, my page doesn't seem to work in Opera either. This is ridiculous. What's the point in having standards if the different browsers won't honour them?

I'm sure Microsoft's to blame somehow.

Dogscoff, I just took a quick look around with Opera and had no problems whatsoever with your site.

[edit] Oops, I take that back. The fiction page isn't showing any titles.

What software are you using to create the pages? I've heard that some programs put a lot of unnecessary junk in the code.
