I wonder if it would be simpler to just put that info in a <p> and not have a box at all. Boxes seem to lead the user to click. It looks like a button. So if we have nothing to click, then don't use a box. > >> >>> Do we know how this will be linked from the /download/index.html page? >> >> >> I think there was no idea mentioned yet.

One idea to support the legacy links: Right now we have three simple links under the top button: "Searching for another version? Get all platforms, languages, language packs | Release Notes | MD5 checksums" What if we shortened the first link, and added another one, like this: Other Platforms and Languages | Older Versions | Release Notes | Signatures and Hashes (note in this version I've changed "MD5 checksum" to "Signatures and Hashes" since the Apache releases come with 2 differnt hashes as well as a detached signature. And that reminds me.... we'll need a page for that. -Rob > >> >>> The other.html page looks and works fine. > > > >>> >>> Good work! >> >> >> Thanks >> >> Marcus >> > > -- > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > MzK > > "Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you > And life has a funny way of helping you out > Helping you out." > -- "Ironic", Alanis Morissette
