Good evening. Here's the URL. Should be live most of the weekend: http://24.59.106.99/~grace/HST990/index.html<http://24.59.106.99/%7Egrace/HST990/index.html>
The page loads, but any URLs embedded in the text of the events do not show up. They do show up in the title attribute. If I try to escape with < and >, I get javascript errors -- any use of '&' results in javascript errors, and the timeline won't load. Right now, all the &'s are gone. And I am signed up for the mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -g. On 11/17/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

(ampersand lt semicolon and ampersand gt semicolon) You'll need to subscribe to the list to prevent your replies from bouncing. One for all, and all for one and all that. - VAB P.S. If you post the URL to your troubles, I'll take a look at them. On Fri, 2006-11-17 at 22:44 -0500, Grace V.
