Ray and I did some very extensive work on CSS which have now been
in-place for several months.

Please grab a copy of v1.87 and try that URL again.

Ray Andrews and I are prodding each other along.
We refined my Jan 26 fix of the left/right frames
CSS linkhover bug so that it works even better.
And we have the top/bottom bug almost fixed.
(works 90% correctly)
Mar 05, 2005
Ray finished fixing this bug. It is now 100% dead. :)

Mar 05, 2005
Fixed one more small problem in CSS
Linkhover will no longer default to black. Instead it will now use
a contrasting color from both inactive link color and page BGcolor.

Jan 26, 2005
Fixed a long-standing bug with CSS/Frames

As you can see,

With v1.81 that you are currently using......

You are only taking advantage of one very small CSS fix that I did over
nine months ago.

In addition to the CSS specific fixes, there have been many more
bug fixes and feature additions which you are missing out on by not
grabbing the new version.

To see for yourself what has been changed so that you can better
decide whether or not to upgrade.....
