Yep, remember that it's not great code :) I'm toying with the idea of changing it to python. It's a simple program to start learning it. I went through the tutorial a while back and I definitely want to try it on a "real" proggie. You can download it here: http://www.benedictverheyen.be I also use divs and no tables for the layout. Anyway, if people find it interesting and do any changes to it that can benefit other people, send the changes over and i'll add the new package to the site. Or if people change it to python for instance, i could put that code up too. Regards, Benedict -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I have made php script that manages a few files that act as a db with my links divided in pages, topics and so on. It's also easy to transport bookmarks since i only have to copy the small script & the text files containing the actual links, pages and categories. I then set my browser home page to the generated output index.html file and i have all my links at my disposale.

That sucks. I suspect it was just misplaced. I struggled with a similar problem for an hour or so, until I found out that mozilla-phoenix/firebird/firefox/any-other-fiery-mythical-beast changed its prefs directory between name changes. IRC at some point I had ~/.phoenix ~/.mozilla-firebird and now ~/.firefox. Perhaps a 'find -name "bookmarks.html"' will turn up the misplaced bookmarks file. Maybe the developers should just settle on a relatively name like Mozilla G2 or Mozilla XP (or can alphanumeric combinations now be trademarked?). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

bookmarks.html
An open letter to Mozilla package maintainers (and a warning to those who upgrade): I have a very simple request... Please, when versions of browsers are upgraded could you PLEASE save my bookmarks.html file? I just lost ~6 weeks of bookmarks because when I upgraded mozilla-firebird the packaging system decided to install mozilla-firefox instead and in the process deleted my history files and bookmark files. And in regards to: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=250103 ~/.mozilla-firebird is empty but cannot be removed for some unknown reason when the upgrade is made to firefox. /var/lib/mozilla-firebird, however, is not empty. thanks, emma -- Emma Jane Hogbin [[ 416 417 2868 ][ www.xtrinsic.com ]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
