Ah, so you're implying that the secret is in lining up the o's?
Or are you lying?

The secret is: use   for the spaces and ° for the little bubbles

LOL
Now I can tell you - just makes no sense else to provoke you
Have a look at the source codes - have a look at the entries above and make yourself conscious that you are capable !!!
It was just 2 weeks ago when I had a first look at the source codes and learned from them. Meanwhile, there is my bilingual homepage: http://www.druffel.com/findus

well... goes like rightclick in the frame or take the browsermenu, pick "View Source" or something like that.... html voilà...
and sometimes the trick is NOT to preview... otherwise the parser just autocorrects away and you may not get what you wanted....

Well as you can see I havn't made much of an attempt to find out if it's true. i keep on promising myself to find time but I don't.

I'm still lost... uh, and just so you know, I can't right click anything... I've got a mac. I'm too simple minded for more than one mouse button...

ups, sorry to have assumed a pc ... and somehow I do have a right mouse button on a mac... but anyway:
it depends a bit on the browser, in netscape eg you have a menu "view" with the point "page source"... and in most other browsers there is something similar (couldn't find it in Linux yet though) -the only problem is that you have to select the right frame first, or you'll get just the h2g2-header-source, clicking in it should do the trick... nice for those "how did he do this?"-wondering-things (words, give me words )

Is it me, but is the "bubbles on the fish" conversation ever so slightly dull?
