Grace,
If I remember correctly, for the full escape you need to place a semicolon
immediately after the "<" and the ">".

Good evening.
Here's the URL. Should be live most of the weekend:
http://24.59.106.99/~grace/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]

I believe that you'll have to escape them with & for & (ampersand
'a''m''p' semicolon)
For links < and > of course. (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.

P.S. If you post the URL to your troubles, I'll take a look at them.
