Suggestions are welcome. I have made some changes to the wording of about.html but made no changes to the substance.

Suggestions are welcome. Unless the site is currently using something like mod_php or mod_perl the typical way to do this is to enable mod_include [1] in you apache. //Ed [1] http://www.markcrocker.com/manual/mod/mod_include.html From derobbio at tin.it Wed Dec 17 15:38:52 2003 From: derobbio at tin.it (Antonella De Robbio) Date: Wed Dec 17 15:38:38 2003 Subject: [rclis] rclis web site update References: <20031217164814.GD9186@openlib.org> Message-ID: <3FE0BEDC.8070804@tin.it> My solution is not very elegant. I don't know if it could be useful. First: between is missing Second one: at the bottom is missing But these are not the problem to have the last paragraph to the end of the screen, after the final spider. Put some
after

and others after . In this way you obtain the vertical bar on the right of the screen, useful to obtain the result

The changes to the wording of about.html pages are excellent Cheers Antonella De Robbio Thomas Krichel wrote: > I am in the process of updating the web site to a strict html > and web site architecture.

[ http://www.soros.org/openaccess/read.shtml ] I am pleased to inform you that my chapter on "Open Access and Retrieval: Liberating the Scholarly Literature" written for a volume on _E-Serials Collection Management: Transitions, Trends, and Technicalities _ (edited by David C. Fowler. New York : Haworth Information Press, 2004) has been officially published [http://www.haworthpressinc.com/store/sampletext/4879.pdf] Chapter 10.

A series of suggestion and demonstration code by Nisa Bakkalbasi fixed this. Microsoft Internet Explorer does not implement some of the CSS that is used. The spiders are misplaced.
