I'm really impressed how cool japitools has become. It looks acceptable in w3m (text mode browser), but the bars don't really look good. The tables are o.k., though. You might want to add some space between the columns. It doesn't look too good on lynx (another text mode browser), but lynx has problems with tables anyway. An alternative to using the spacer gif could be to use colored empty table cells with ascii symbols in the background color. That should work nicely on w3m and the ascii symbols (a different one for each color, of course) should work nicely on lynx, too. It will make the web pages somewhat bigger, though. Check out http://www.illuminated.co.uk/gif2html/ to see what I mean. ;) Also, the comparison document for jdk1.3 doesn't appear to validate as HTML 3.2, according to http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Frainbow.netreach.net%2F%7Esballard%2Fjapi%2Fhtmlout%2Fh-jdk13-classpath.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=HTML+3.2 or any other HTML version I tried. You could try running jtidy over your generated output and patching the output method accordingy. That might explain some of the browser rendering results. As running a kaffe nightly job to generate a kaffe.japi.gz file depends on getting TreeMap & TreeSet from Classpath integrated into kaffe, and Archie is o.k. with that approach, I'll give it a try in the next couple of days and see how far I get. Right now I'm trying to fix some build issues on Mandrake 9 & Cygwin, and it looks promising. I'll get to TreeMap/TreeSet afterwards. best regards, dalibor topic __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
