With my own web site & domain name too...

At the moment, there is nothing at http://codingarea.co.uk, but you can always visit http://codingarea.co.uk to see the wonderful 'Page Not Found' message.

In case you've forgotten, the web address is http://codingarea.co.uk.

Never believe a time-frame...
You may have trouble accessing the site anyway as there is another 24hrs of propagation to go...

It is (now) http://www.codingarea.co.uk

I'll hopefully be doing the website tonight (without any links - that'll wait until I've got my new computers).

To use an Americanism - Its way cool!

Glad to see you use 1&1. I have a few domains there and am very impressed with the service. Trouble is, I've had them over a year and still not put anything on them!

@MrTAToad

I think you have spelt Ian's surname incorrectly on the links page. According to his DBDN profile, it is Mold, not mould!

*Gasp* like that's never happened before

'Another plug-in creater?' Is that it?

I'd suggest 'Great plug-in creator, and all-round good guy' ... *fingers poised over the delete-post button*

You should have seen what I put on my original site for your link...

I've corrected the slight faux pas with your surname by the way...

The rest of the site will be done once I've got my new computers (which, with any luck, will be before the end of next week) - I cant be bothered to link everything and then have to re-link once everything is transfered...

So, if anyone needs to download any of my stuff - tough!

"Its way cool!"

We wouldn't say that. We'd probably say "It's really cool." or "It's awesome!"

Get it right!

No. All of my opinions are correct in every shape and form. If you disagree, you are wrong.

Nice website MrTaToad. I'll have to take a look at some of your dll's. (wow you've made quite a few!)

I'll make sure to add your site to favorites listing.

lol... well working is such a realtive term isn't it
i've got everything actually working fine, with the exception of the menu system. It wraps itself to the window so the offset it give each menu is WindowPosition+Offset, which is annoying because you resize the window and the page itself is centered - so it also changes position. (typical really)

i can't figure out the JavaScript to allow me to get the window size so i can set a new revised offset whenever the window is resized.

i did have

if( this.onresize==true );
{
this.focus();
wndWidth = this.outerWidth();
scnWidth = screen.width();
}

but unfortunately all wndWidth would return was "undefined"
i have a feeling i have to setup some code somewhere to create the windows original settings and throw it in a variable on startup but looking through the poorly devised manual on netscape feels like a waste of time.

well i'm sure the answer will be blatantly obvious to me sometime.

Snazy but I don't think it will fit on the site (yellow would have to fade out). Always good for just the sig though.

(^_^) nice... think the a would look better as a capital though

[edit-]
:: grumble :: just finish downloading Netscape7.1 just to find out that it doesn't support any of the code i've done for the menu system at all ... :: shakes fist at the useless Netscape corporation ::
