Now you've made me feel guilty for writing a reply, DC. Mind you, I'd feel more guilty if your web site worked in Netscape. It just displays the page source - does the file have a .htm(l) extension? I see that it does work in IE, but only after a long delay - I guess that IE eventually manages to work out for itself that it's an html file.

I'll give you some help. First the heading:
"Do you have a free seat in your car?"
That's OK.
*"Would you like faster and cheaper to come on your destination?"
1. The main verb should be "get to", not "come on".
2. "faster" and "cheaper" are modifying the verb "get to", notthe verb "like". So:
"Would you like to get to your destination faster and cheaper?"

First paragraph:
*"Our intention on this site is to use free seat in drivers? car and share a trip price with passenger. You are driver - person who offers the ride or you are a passenger - person who demands the ride. There is a option where passenger insert demand for the ride and this ride demand are searched by driver."

"Our intention on this site is to help drivers find passengers to use the spare seats in their cars and share the journey price with them. You can use this site either as a driver who can offer a ride, or as a passenger who wants one."
Second paragraph:
"Use our database inserting your travel data like: starting point, destination, number of seat, starting time, smoking/nonsmoker, male/female etc. You can search ride offer and quickly answer by the telephone or via e-mail."
"Use our database by inserting your travel data, such as: starting point, destination, seats available, starting time, smoking/non-smoking, male/female etc. You can search the database and respond to other subscribers by telephone or e-mail."

Sidebar(1):
*"All your rides are based on veiling so we are not responsible for your misunderstanding."
It's not clear what you mean by "veiling" here, but I think what you want is:
"All information is provided anonymously by subscribers and is published in good faith. The web site operators are not responsible for any inaccuracies or omissions".
Sidebar(2):
*"E-mail address of person whom offer or search ride are not visible ? you are protected from sniffer robots and spam computers."
"E-mail addresses of subscribers are not directly visible on the site - this protects you from sniffer robots and spam computers."

P.S. What's a sniffer robot? Don't they have those at airports?

I'm probably being over snotty. Goran's request was perfectly reasonable, it's the "I would like someone to proofread my 50 page dissertation on microbiology for free" ones that are a bit iffy. From time to time someone posts looking for paid academic proofreading, and I have picked up a little bit of business from newsgroups.

Interesting - thanks. These days I usually just check out new pages in IE and Opera as I don't run Netscape any more - I'll see if it's on the machines at work. I wonder if there's some sort of meta tag to keep Netscape happy. I'm contemplating migrating to Firefox as everybody seems to be raving about it (sadly, that probably means its only a matter of time before viruses start targeting it).
[nq:1]does the file have a .htm(l) extension?[/nq]
No. In the absence of knowing any better, I always FTP pages up to the server and then rename them without an extension, because I don't want addresses that end in .htm(l). Do you know if there's a way round this?

Seems OK here, even when I do a ctrl reload, but then its coming straight off my ISP's server (I use Freenetname who gave a free domain name and 20mb storage, which seemed a good deal at the time, though I don't think they do it any more). I'll see what it looks like from work tomorrow.
Cheers

Yes - give them a .htm extension! I can't think why you wouldn't want to. Under DOS/Windows a file must, in principle, have an extension of some sort to be recognised by anything (other than the operating system, which will just class them as "file"). UNIX is less rigid about it, but by loose convention a UNIX file with no extension is considered an executable. What made you think that .htm or .html extensions are a bad thing?

If it doesn't have the sort of openings that plague IE, that might be difficult. I do like the tab browsing since I used to have about five IE windows open, and that was apparently much more resource piggy than one Foxfire and the same number of tabbed windows. Now I'm just gonna need something like that for usenet.

But don't loads of sites, when you check the url, not end .htm(l)? - here's one / .

It's not a big deal, I just thought not having the extension made for a more professional looking address, but if it stops people reading stuff, I'll rename my sites. It's curious that I've been doing this for a while (including mailing details of my online CV site to employers), and nobody's pointed out a problem before. This probably just proves that offices are full of people running IE, and IE can cope with missing .htm(l) extensions, but if other browsers don't it's something I need to know about.
As a temporary measure I've put up a mirror proofreader site at http://www.bankgatetutors.co.uk/proofreader.htm - accessibilty reports with a range of browsers very gratefully received.

Adresses that end with / are actually opening a page named index.htm, index.html, index.php or similar, which if it contains frames can then display other pages without showing you teh name of teh page displayed. If you want to do this you'll have to swot up on the use of frames, not leave out endings which means the file can't be interpreted by many browsers.

Absolutely. If you click on the link to my website in my .sig, the page that you'll actually load
is:
"index.htm" is usually the default page, and therefore doesn't need to be specified. So, rename your "proofreader" file as "index.htm" and then just point your browser (and ours) at . If this doesn't work (I think it will), you'll need to check with your hosting service about what the default filename is - I've known "default.htm" to work.

Thanks Bill. Opera has tabbed pages, you get used to it really quickly, and it also runs quite a nice integrated news reader (which I recall Netscape also does - MS expect you to use the ****** awful Outlook Exposed). I noticed when I got my new PC with Word 2003 that MS had got rid of the irritating thing Word used to have of mulitple documents appearing as multiple instances of the application - I'm surprised they didn't go for multiple tabbing on IE at the same time (unless it's someone else's patent).
Does Firefox have newsgroup reading built in?
