The preliminary file is here:

<URL: http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/hikksnotathome/loadJSFile/index2.html>

The results are mostly what you had already. I have to change the
functions to report errors and error out better. Right now, it simply
throws the default browser error. Probably change it to a function
similar to yours instead of throwing up error boxes. Also have to tinker
with the CSS some more (it scrolls off the screen in IE).

If I click on the "Create Element" button, I get the following error:

ocument is not defined -- index.html line 18

ocument.getElem entById('script Div').appendChi ld(s);

I know :( I found that error after uploading it. I have a new one to
uploaded that has some updated information on the .text property and
createTextNode methods. It has also been moved/renamed to index.html
instead of index2.html:

<URL: http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/hikksnotathome/loadJSFile/>

index2.html has been deleted.

I noticed a few things

In one row you have OS X 10.4 but all others are 10.4.8

You really have IE 5.2 on OS X 10.4? I just wonder because it came
standard on 10.3 and you have Safari 1.3 on 10.3.

What's going on with the contradictory iCab 3.0.3 results?

If iCab is the only current release browser that is red from left to
right do you just say "screw, iCab"?

All of the mac data comes from other people. I honestly don't remember
who gave me the 10.4 data (I should start noting it I guess) but if you
can confirm the data as being accurate in 10.4.8 then it can be changed
to be uniform. The 10.4.8 came from your page, the 10.4 probably came
from either Richard Cornford or ASM.

You really have IE 5.2 on OS X 10.4? I just wonder because it came
standard on 10.3 and you have Safari 1.3 on 10.3.

<shrugAnother of those me depending on others for the mac results. I
will try to find where I got that data from (Its in the archives
somewhere). For now it is changed to 10.3 until I can confirm it. I am
probably going to rearrange the mac section by OS version number so that
all the 10.3's are together, 10.4, etc.. Probably do the WinME/XP
section the same way.

What's going on with the contradictory iCab 3.0.3 results?

More than likely, a copy/paste error on my part.

If iCab is the only current release browser that is red from left to
right do you just say "screw, iCab"?

Pretty much :) iCab doesn't seem to be a very dynamic scriptable browser.

I corrected the iCab 3.0.3 results locally and will upload it tonight.

Is this file really working? Now I'm getting all failures on the first
test in the XP browsers I tried. It is strange though because on the
first two clicks I see no activity, on the third click i see
"Downloadin g blah blah blah" in the status bar but when it finishes
downloading I don't see the alert. I think the other tests are working
but maybe you can look again before I click about 100 times in 20
browsers.

Off topic but what is the difference with putting urls in <URL: vs.
just in <like VK suggested?

The <URL: convention was once an official part of the URL standard, as
the one and only correct way to embed a URL in plain text. It was
removed from the standard for lack of use, but a good deal of software
still supports it.

The < convention was never official, but some software supports it all
the same.

I have personally had better results with the <URL: convention.

I can verify that my local copy works. As for the online copy, I can't
even get the nice wonderful AOL server to even serve me the file to test
it :\

After testing it with the full filename it seems to be loading it for me
now in Opera 9.0 and all of the buttons work as designed.

I emailed you all the files it uses. If it fails to send the files for
some reason, let me know and I will post a .zip file somewhere.

Now I'm getting all failures on the first test in the XP browsers I tried.

I gotta find a better server to put this stuff on.

I think that is more AOCrap's server than anything else.

Two tests:
<URL:
http://msdn.microsoft. com/library/default.asp?url =/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/close_0.asp>
<http://msdn.microsoft. com/library/default.asp?url =/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/close_0.asp>

Easy enough to test. Let's see what the difference is with a long URL.

The attachments didn't come through on the email. I tried to reply to
you but the AOL postmaster says

<<< 550 hikksnotathome IS NOT ACCEPTING MAIL FROM THIS SENDER

If you can post a zipped file I will put it up on my server.

It is strange though because on the
first two clicks I see no activity, on the third click i see
"Downloadin g blah blah blah" in the status bar but when it finishes
downloading I don't see the alert. I think the other tests are working

The download times have been slow all along but this strange behavior
is new since you added the last two columns. I don't know what's up but
if you post the zip I imagine all will work.

The email address on this post is indeed blocked. The email address to
use is the one in the FAQ for me. It is in the very last section of the FAQ.

Not sure why adding the last two columns would cause the first three to
stop working as nothing was changed in the code for the first three
columns as far as buttons are concerned.

It seems to be working more normally.The first column test is working
on the first click in IE5 and IE6 again.

I have 18 hours in the Los Angeles airport to kill. I'll probably find
some time to click a few tests :/

I spent 6 hours in the Las Vegas Airport before spending 4 hours in the
Atlanta airport Tuesday so I can empathize with you. Better you than me
though :)
