I am doing my best to keep the view of the page as it is but clean up
and organize the coding, so that it is easier for the software to read
and recognize. And also easier for all of us all to see.

For example, if the software read the tag like this..
 sample text
It gets confuse and recognize them as unclosed or fragment of the tag.

It is also confusing for us to check if it's really fragment of the
tag or only software can't find the other half of that tags,
especially there  are many lins in between those tags where you have
to scroll up and down to see where is the open tag and end tag.

So, what I would do and have been doing is to switch around the tag
in a way that they open and close in order like this...
sample text

Of course the look of the page will stay exactly the same , but more
organized code. This is very important especial when you are working
with

I'll check new FST site instead of the current one.

I have notice some of the images are missing, like this one.
fscnew/tantra/titles/introk.gif

This also should be corrected as this, right?

I will download all entire new FST files to run a clean up.

I was lke that, too.... But web design is the kind of that you just
have to know every single person on the internet has unique computer
with unique setting. Monitor setting can change the color. Browser
type and versions with different update would limit us to use some
cool features.

You do have to give up some of the thing you would like to do or you
can have separate mirror site with different features or look. Just
like when you download sample music or video, a lot of time you can
chose the qality of the file or the size of the files...

Yes, Netscape and IE has some difference in coding.
For example, roll over buttons had to be written different way for
each
browser, at least before....

IE tend to fix the code on its own, when Netscape doesn't.

I'll recommend that you do, too. I'll also send separate email about
backup the database and stuff that I wrote last night but forgot to
send it to you...
