Finally, The Limen splashpage is fixed... now you can see it hopefully. Remember it needs JavaScript enabled on your browser...

Those of you using the http://thelimen.ipfox.com address to reach my site:It turns out that my Limen pages were misbehaving pretty badly in Netscape because I selected the "url masking" option with the IPfox redirection service. URL masking is a neat trick where only the IPfox URL shows up instead of the mile-long Brinkster URL no matter where you went on the site. It looked perfect in IE, but Netscape had a definite case of chronic acid reflux, causing frames kept loading up like crazy. This effect, however, gave me an idea of why it was happening.
You see, most, if not all of my pages have JavaScript lines that cause the page to look for its frameset, that is, if you happened to find a "naked" page on the web it would immediately look for its parent frameset, and load it. It also had a fail-safe script that would allow the pages to "break feee" if they were encased in someone else's frames. The problem was, I didn't consider that IPfox URL masking consists of invisibly "framing" a website, which allows it to mask its real URL and preserve IPfox's URL on the address bar. With Explorer, there was no problem; with Netscape, however, it made my scripts go wild: since my frames were inside IPfox's frame, they kept re-spawning themselves, trying to "escape" the frame.
Bottomline is: I removed the URL masking option from the IPfox URL.... SO, you can now use http://thelimen.ipfox.com with Netscape safely... or simply bookmark the longer http://www24.brinkster.com/thelimen/index.htm
Netscape STILL has problems with the splash page., but I'll fix that later...
