enough : )

um - did you test it?

There is no tree to the left and by clicking "resource" a second
time you get the whole page in the lower left frame again.

another hint, if you want to use JavaScript you should check
if it is enabled and have at least a message for this case,
I receive a blank page on your domain root.

Hmm, that's my fault, missed a target off the links

Thanks Ananas

That's a fair comment Ananas, the tree is all generated server side so I
could easily produce a plain HTML output without any additional burden on
the administration team.

Site statistics indicated less than 1% of visitors had no support for
Javascript, I thought it was a safe bet to go the Javascript only route.
There's always one :0)

Thanks again

I prefer server sided stuff. JS can do too many things I
don't want to have, like opening popups, onexit events and
things like that. And too many security holes in JS in the
past, I seldom enable it, only when it's a on site that I
really need to visit.

It's not paranoia, I just don't like web sites to decide
what my browser does. Paranoia comes only into play when a
site works only with IE ;)

Lots of authors unknown. All of them in fact:

Old bench, old hut, throne by Styxx
Baskets, Draftmans set, Lanterns by Lady Murasaki
Proxima Avas by Someone (aka Charlie from 3D from Nowhere)
Exterior and Interior lights and glass arch by Asterisk Man
(Someone/Charlies son)
Airport set, Basilica set, Church set, wagon, birdcage, pyramid by Dachs

Authors easily found from links on Objects D'Activeworlds links to free
objects.

I didn't find one object that wasn't on someone elses free page. Not saying
there isn't one there, just that I didn't find one. Most of these are
objects provided by the origional creator. Looks like they are on your site
directly, not a link to their site where they are given for free. Wanted to
ask if you got permission from them to add their objects & images to your
site? It's better to have the permission first than say you'll remove the
objects later if asked to. It will save you a lot of hassles if you do. Most
citizens create and give away free objects to promote themselves and direct
traffic to their own site. That's why many of these objects aren't directly
on the Object d'AW site but are under the links section. Overall, it's a
great idea esp if you get all of the permissions & a search engine going.

[View Quote] Nice approach indeed!
Would you make the pop-up browser window for viewing the object "not fixed size" please?
