I'm just posting this cos of the problems with the What the Keen dropdown to make sure no-one else does the same - because the javascript code for the dropdowns uses the apostrophe ' character to open and end a document.Write you need to put a backwards slash in front of any apostrophes in peoples comic names, for example Jackie's Fridge would have to be written like this - Jackie's Fridge for the name to show up correctly and to make sure no javascript errors occur

What directory do you ftp the script into?<P>I'm putting it both directly into the workspace and the webpages directory 'cuz I'm not sure, but I guess that's pretty silly.<P><P>------------------

I went and made a page with all of the dropdowns currently out there at <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/maninblack3125/dropdowns.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.geocities.com/maninblack3125 ... ns.html</A> I'd really appreciate it if the various dropdown admins could link it to their dropdown pages (but not the list itself.)
Thanks!<P>------------------
