Hhmmmm. Godfrey, when I load http://homepage.mac.com/ramarren/ photo/PAW5/, I don't get much detail in the small gray blocks. In fact, no detail, just small gray blocks, LOL. Nothing in the blocks allows me to differentiate one image from another. After I have viewed an image, the border is red, which confuses your statement that the "red block is always the latest week posted." (No, my browser's normal color for viewed links is not red.) Now that I have viewed many images, there are many blocks that have red borders.

This is probably getting too detailed and arcane for most PDML readers, but: older images have a solid gray block. If I have viewed the image, it has a red border; if not, it has a black border. The block (and border) for the current week (33) is solid red. The blocks for weeks not yet done are a lighter gray, with a visible grid in the small block; all these future blocks have a red border.


They're supposed to be small, gray blocks without a border. Un- available links should be a light gray stipple pattern with black border, the "current" block should be red. I normally use the Safari browser, which renders them as the HTML is coded. You can tell that the link they each point to has changed by running the mouse over each one and looking at the link status line at the bottom of the window (if you have that viewable) ... the URL will change as you go one to the next with the mouse. Subtle, perhaps too subtle. ;-)

FireFox puts the "link activation" border around them, even though I believe I have code in there to display no border. I consider this a FireFox bug. I wonder if there's some non-destructive way to stop it from doing that. They display as intended in both Safari and MS Internet Explorer.

I was able to match up the images, however, so yes, now I can see they are the same set of images. No problem there.

I'm using Firefox on an iMac G5, OS 10.4.1, if that makes any difference. I can do a screen shot and send it to you if it would help.

I'm on Mac OS X v10.4.2 with FireFox, Safari, and Internet Explorer installed. (I think I have Opera on here too...) I can see what you're saying, but FireFox is not displaying the pages the way they're supposed to display, given the HTML. Internet Explorer and Safari both do a better job and display them as intended. I'll see if there's any way to correct the display in FireFox that doesn't ruin it in the other two.

Thanks for the comments!

Godfrey
