THIS HELP SECTION IS BY NO MEANS SUPPOSED TO BE VERY GREAT
BUT IT SHOULD HELP YOU WITH SMALL PROBLEMS AND HELP ME
HELP THE NEXT BROWSER/USER
JavaScript doesn't work
Frame-related problem
Music driving you crazy / Want it to start again
New browser window opens and SCRIPT error message appears
Don't know where the links on the right side picture/menu leads to
A fourohfour (404) Error page opens
Other problem or error on page
JAVASCRIPT
Well there are two reasons why the JavaScript does not work.
The first: Netscape, I think, installs with JavaScript disabled. This
can be corrected by going to Edit>Preferences. Then by going to
Advanced and marking JavaScript and for fun all the other stuff in that catagory.
Secondly: The browser software you are using does not support JavaScript.
This could be that you are using an outdated program or a badly written one.
As always I would urge you to get the latest Netscape version. How would you
know if the JavaScipt works? Well the menu at the start page would change when
the mouse goes over the buttons.
FRAMES
If you are having problems with these pages and it
says that your browser is not capable of viewing frames
then that is exactly why you are having problems.
However if you are sure that it should be capable
then go to "View" or "Edit" at the top of your browser
or wherever you options are located and choose "Options...".
or "Preferences". Then search around there for some place
you can enable Java frames or something, maybe you can get
it right.
MUSIC
Want the music to stop? Just press your
browser's STOP button. This however only works when a midi
file is playing, on my new pages a MOD will be playing if
you have modplug and JAVA. The music controls are on the page that plays it.
If you want midi music to start again on a page that plays it
just RIGHT-CLICK in frame and choose refresh.
SCRIPT
I found this error myself a couple of times before I
found out what was causing it. If you have this problem you
are most probably using Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.02 or older
Anyway this "special script" is the future in web pages but you can
keep your browser from displaying these messages in the future
by going to (MIE users go to "VIEW" at the top then) "Options"
then "Security" and then disable "Run ActiveX scripts".
OK, that's it. Now you'll have a dull, error free visit.
Picture/menu
Some Browsers dont show the script that appears when your
mouse moves over a link in my picture/menu, espesially
if you are using frames. This is an uncorrectable error
but I know that it occurs when using Microsoft Internet
Explorer 3.02 or older. When using the Netscape
Communicator 4.05 Professional Eddition this error does
not occur. I am not going to list which browsers work
and which don't, so get the latest NC.
FourOhFour
The most common reason for when this page is shown is that
the link you clicked goes to a page that doesn't exist.
A default error page then opens and it is called a 404 error page.
My site shouldn't ever show this page as I do not put links in
to a pages that I haven't uploaded or verified yet.
If such a page does show anyware at my site pleaz inform me.
OTHER
If you have any other problems please mail me
as that is the only way I can find out if my pages
work and maybe I can help you with YOUR problem
if it wasn't caused by my being a bit lax when
I wrote these pages.
