We've made extensive use of style sheets to speed up the rendering of the front page. Doesn't look quite so good with non-style sheet browsers, but that's the price of technology.

A brand spanking new, massively extended style section. Now includes an introduction to style sheets; adding styles to your pages; CSS properties; CSS positioning - visit our recommended site; CSS units; HTML Element types; Browser capatability charts; Frequently asked questions; and Links to other references.

All Jalfrezi's external links have been re-verified using LinkChecker - a great piece of freeware reviewed in the Software Toolbox. The job of re-validating pages to HTML 4.0 has also begun in earnest using CSE HTML Validator, also in the Software Toolbox. All new pages will be validated. A small bug in the style sheets now been that the pages now work with the new Opera 3.5 browser which, you guessed it, is also in the Software Toolbox.

We've had a lot of questions about the !DOCTYPE SGML specifier. We've recently found an excellent resource to answer your questions in detail.

I have added more detail in the tables section, specifically highlighting the differences between Netscape and Microsoft browsers when it comes to displaying graphics as table backgrounds.

Various minor changes to Jalfrezi over the last few months, but mostly typos and grammatical improvements.

The redirecting bug affecting non-frame browsers has now been corrected. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Those nice people at Bath University (my old uni) have put up a mirror for Jalfrezi. I've also begun a mailing list for those of you interested in keeping up to date with Jalfrezi's evolution. Enter your email address for monthly Jalfrezi updates:

Jalfrezi's popularity is still spreading - we now have a mirror in Romania. Also this week: general housekeeping, including making sure Jalfrezi looks good with my current favourite browser, Opera. Also added a new Tip of the Day for displaying images as list bullets..

That's right, thanks to our fine friends at WCCLA, who host one of Jalfrezi's US mirrors, jalfrezi.com is now a fully functioning top level domain. Also added a new Tip of the Day.

You can now specify body, carbon-copy and subject fields for mailto links. Go there.
I've also made a few cosmetic changes throughout the site.

More Tips of the Day (see front page) have been added; sorry they're not quite every day yet! These include how to show a vertical line, removing underlining from your links and using control characters as bullets. Talking of which, more characters and codes have been to the special characters section. The link to Selena Sol's forms site has also been updated (see Useful References).

Opening a new window from a link. A 'pop-up box' can be launched using JavaScript. You can define the window size in pixels and specify whether to show scrollbars, toolbar, etc. We show you how.

Each day (almost) we'll come up with a new HTML or JavaScript tip to help you with your page authoring. The first two tips are: how we created the Tip of the Day pop up window and how to create a vertical line on your page.

Partial redesign of opening page to highlight updated features and to ease newcomers into using Jalfrezi. Also: my photo added to the Why? Who? What? section!

Further to popular demand, each tag and/or attribute entry will now show when it become official HTML (if applicable) and which of the popular browsers support it.
