I am in need of a program that I can use to lay out a cemetery showing the respective burial locations on an HTML page. Would this be such a program or might there be a better option available?

"DO NOT OPEN AT FINISH"  Unclick the check mark, click 'Finish' and closed the program. Once installed, I then right-clicked on the short-cut and clicked on 'Troubleshoot Compatibility'. This launched the software, adjusted settings for Win98 XP Service Pack 2 and I just followed the instructions. I use Family Tree Maker 2012 software for my family tree because I have all of mine on Ancestry.com and it auto-syncs with my desktop software. So I exported a .GED file as 'Other' (non-FTM UT-8) GEDCom 5.5 file, loaded it into GEDMill and went right through the instructions. The software generated the pages with no problem whatsoever. Give it a try. You will probably like it.

The example page at:- http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~bristowe/kc-obits.html ... has been updated to change the "name" attribute in the Anchor tags to "id". This makes the code HTML5 compliant and is still rendered correctly in browsers back to and including IE5.5 . Those Anchor tags were originally <h3><a name="A">- A -</a></h3>, i.e. they were contained in an <h3> block level element which allowed them to be easily centered. Unfortunately IE5.5 and IE6 don't recognize the styles I used to address them, e.g. a[name] {font-weight:bold}, so the easiest way of addressing the "Back to top" link and the Anchor tag was to change the enclosing <h3> tag to a <h4> for the Anchor. That way there is no extra mark-up required such as a class for the Anchor tags, and the styles - h3 a {font-size:1em}, and h4 a {font-size:1.5em;font-weight:bold} address the <a> tags as required. The spreadsheet data base example at:- http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~bristowe/kc-obits-table.html ... is similarly updated. Some of you may have noticed that in the original files, I hadn't closed any of the <a> tags. That didn't stop them being rendered correctly in all browsers as they are automatically closed by the terminating block element they are nested in. But they didn't Validate, so they got fixed! Barry

FREEPAGES-HELP Digest, Vol 7, Issue 117 Gary what they were doing was copying a standard procdure. Used in millions of web pages.

PLEASE!!! Do NOT just hit the reply button and resend the entire digest! Please edit your reply to the minimum necessary repeated text. Failing to take some care with your replies clogs up this list for every other subscriber, makes the list less helpful and is considered bad Netiquette. You might be better served by copying and pasting the portion you want to respond to at the top of your reply, typing your response, then deleting all the rest. (Don't worry about the "boilerplate"; it gets tacked on by the server.) The people on this list want to help you, but they too can grow impatient with those who show a lack of appreciation for their time and effort. -rt_/)

I know others have posted replies to Mike since Billie's post below. But I wanted to return to a couple of points. One is the issue of the Freepages file manager being slow. It may not be practical for Mike with all his pages, but some other readers of this newsletter may not realize that the limit of sending 4 files at a time is easily changeable at any time during a file manager session once you've logged in. You can increase it to transferring 20, 100 files at a time, or any number you want. Getting back to Mike's problem. What about "sneaker net" as a better way of transferring his thousands of web pages. I know that for my wife's website (hosted by her ISP) they were willing to write her files to CD and mail them to her. If bandwidth is an issue, as Billie suggested, might not CDs (or DVDs) be the simplest and most reliable "transmission" method. If he has a complicated directory structure, that could be a complication. But if he's going to restructure the whole site anyway, maybe not.

Mike, As has already been suggested, try using the IE FTP. A configuration page is at:- http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~bristowe/ieftp/ ... and though IE7 was the browser being used when the page was created, the same applies to IE9.

Even though it uses JavaScript to generate the A ~ Z buttons, it should be remembered that if those buttons were generated manually, they would still rely on a JavaScript event listener to activate the selection of the appropriate anchor. This is a case where JavaScript is needed, and any other method would result in a lot of bloated code for no benefit. Barry
