Domain Name
The domain name http://www.britanime.org.uk/ now exists, but simply redirects to the relevant page on my Demon Internet site. Ideally I would like to host BritAnime on a separate server to make full use of the domain name --- if anyone is interested in sponsoring the site to enable me to do this, please get in touch.
I have already had one person ask me if I would be willing to sell the domain
name outright --- the answer is no
Design
BritAnime was originally designed with a plaintext editor (GNU Emacs), but is
now maintained with Macromedia Dreamweaver. The target browser is Internet Explorer
5.5 --- this will allow the text rollovers on the main page to function properly.
I'm not at present able to get this to work satisfactorily on both IE and Netscape
4 due to the poorer DHTML support in Netscape. However, the code appears to degrade
more or less gracefully in Netscape 4 under Windows and Linux (if you're using
a recent version it shouldn't break your browser).
I have not tested these pages with earlier, obsolete browser versions,
basically because I can't be bothered to install all that crap on my system. No warranty express or implied, your mileage may vary, etc., etc...
UPDATE: A test with Netscape 6 PR1 for Linux shows that the software respects CSS properly (yay!) but the text mouseover generates a Javascript error on the BritAnime main page (boo!). NS6 isn't yet stable enough for me to consider rewriting the page.
Bugs and "Features"
- The current BritAnime main page slightly overflows on an 800-pixel-wide
screen. I know, I know... I'm working on it. :-P
- On the main page, DHTML errors are occasionally triggered if a user attempts
to use a rollover before the HTML code has completely loaded. Be patient and
wait for the text to load.
- Mascot image loading sometimes hiccups in Opera?
- Mouseover Javascript error on Netscape 6 beta.
- The usual problems with link rot
