oop... one small thing.

On the Bio page, there's extra text below the button, left aligned saying "here for my PGP Key".

Thanks guys. I haven't dug into the Bio page yet, it's still in the old, non-compatible format.

I wanted to get the main nav working right, then I will be ripping into the individual pages one at a time, like I did with the guestbook and photo album.

Let me know if you find anything else.

This is great news Making it more compatible was easier than I expected. I still have a few bugs to work out, but I just converted the old Bio and History sections into gallerys.

Thanks for the testing guys

PGP is "Pretty Good Privacy". It's an encryption system that allows you encrypt files and email for secure storage and correspondance.

Aboslutely nothing, unless you have PGP and want my key so you can communicate with me securely.

The system is a public/private key system. In other words, you need my public key to encrypt a message to me. Having my public key up on my site, makes it more accessible to anyone who wants to encrypt something for me.

For those who want it, it's handy.

Cool. Maybe I should look into this more and see if I can't send you something.

Oh, the site works with Mozilla Firefox now.

Excellent! Thanks for looking at it. I will continue to try to develop it in a more compatible mode as I add new sections and upgrade the old sections.

PGP is a handy thing to have around. Most of the mail I send, I don't care if it gets read along the way, but there are some things I don't want in clear text, so it's nice to be able to communicate with people in a way that would take eons to crack.

oop!

The "send mail" button is sideways. It's pushing a "to:" of watrd@wat and no subject.

The mailto link doesn't have to be like you have it. You can use clear text unless you did it that way to try to thwart spammers. If you want to try to hide it, then I don't think you can get away with switching from hex to decimal and back again.

Interesting. Using what browser? I have it as working fine.

Yes, the obfuscation is to cut down on the spambots who can snag the address. Some still can, but most can't at this point. Could you take a look at the mailto link at the bottom of the For Sale page? It's obfuscated the same way and I am wondering if your browser doesn't like the obuscation or if it's getting horked in the script that renders the buttons. Check it in IE, it works great!

Ahh... that's interesting.

Yes, the anchor the FS page works fine, the button is the issue.


And it's FireFox Baby! No JS errors are posted when processing the button, but I'm pull the code locally and play with it a bit.

I'll let cha' know!

Okay... It's basically the decimal escapes in the JS string that're messing with things. i.e., it's not the switch from hex to decimal, it's having the decimal in there at all.

Hmmm.. and it's not that the semicolon might need to be escaped. I'll keep playing, but it could be a FF bug.


One extra performance/clarity thing... you don't need the 2-dimensional array in there. Though it does lend itself to the obfuscation.

Rob... I think it's a FF bug.

With your permission, I'd like to submit this link as an example for the bug report:

http://midiwall.com/misc/js_decimal_strings.html

It's well striped from what you have online and contains no references to your domain, but I wanted to be sure to ask first.
