Comic Genesis Forums

This whole thing just confuses me. I've had a friend help me with the 'site (I know HTML just fine, but Keenspace's archiving system confuses the hell out of me), and now I have no clue what's wrong.
The problem is with my "First", "last", "next", and "Today's comic" buttons. You can see on my main page (http://mognet.keenspace.com/index.html), how it SHOULD look. On this page, the "next" and "Today's comic" buttons are greyed out because it's the most recent comic.
But those in our archive (http://mognet.keenspace.com/d/20010629.html, <A HREF="http://mognet.keenspace.com/d/20010702.html)" TARGET=_blank>http://mognet.keenspace.com/d/20010702.html)</A> have buttons missing.
Upon further inspection, you'll see that these buttons are the ones that SHOULD be greyed-out (Due to the comics being either first or last). What's going on? What am I doing wrong? How do I fix it?<P>-CaspianX (*Trying to get it all set up for Wednesday*)

the greyed-out versions of the buttons should be in the /images directory, same as the other button images. The button tags (***first_comic*** and such) will be replaced with the appropriate version. On PDI the first comic button is <A HREF="http://pdi.keenspace.com/images/first_day.gif" TARGET=_blank>http://pdi.keenspace.com/images/first_day.gif</A> (as per tagtorial) and the greyed version is <A HREF="http://pdi.keenspace.com/images/first_day_ghosted.gif" TARGET=_blank>http://pdi.keenspace.com/images/first_d ... ted.gif</A> (as per keen guru knowledge). On our first comic page the ghosted image is used automatically.<P>I *hope* that answers yuor question.<P><img src="http://pdi.keenspace.com/images/first_day.gif"><img src="http://pdi.keenspace.com/images/first_d ... ed.gif"><P>------------------

Freud was wrong!

Thanks, man. That was EXACTLY what I was looking for. There's still a problem, though - Keenspace isn't recognizing my next_day_ghosted.gif ( <A HREF="http://mognet.keenspace.com/images/next_day_ghosted.gif" TARGET=_blank>http://mognet.keenspace.com/images/next ... ted.gif</A> ) image. What am I doing wrong?<P>-CaspianX (Still confused)

But that's the current strip. Why do you have it on a dailytemplate page? On the actual index page it works fine. I think you're just confusing AutoKeen by putting the latest comic on an archive page.<P>------------------

Autokeen creates an archive page for the latest comic so you can link to it and not have to alter anything once it's bumped from the front page.<P>Normally it's not a worry, as none of the tags ever point to the archive page of the latest comic, but if you want it fixed,
I've posted some <a href="http://portside.keenspace.com/java_ghos ... javascript code</a> on my site which you stick in your head (or at least that of your dailytemplate).<P>Then all you do is put this line where you want your next day button (ghosted or otherwise) to appear:
<font color=blue><script>document.write(NextButton());</script></font>
And it's fixed!<P>I must confess tho' that it's not all my own code, most of if comes from <a href="http://boardersandsister.keenspace.com/">Todd Micheals</a> <a href="http://gear.keenspace.com/rollovers.html">Rollover script</a>.<P>I'll slap this code (along with a couple of others I'm working on) up on the Gear sometime this week.<P>------------------

The ghosted "Next" button doesn't show (Although other than that, the page looks fine, thanks to a slight tweak to the tables), please, if ANYONE can tell me why this isn't working, I'd appreciate it.<P>-CaspianX (And if not, can anyone direct me to a help desk or something where I can contact Keenspace?)
