A visual indicator that shows the link points off-site, not to another
page within the site.

Probably all of them do, in some fashion. The little graphic is just a
visual cue in case the visitor doesn't look at the status bar.

No, not the ones next to "edit". Look at the link for: http://mems.sandia.gov/scripts/images.asp

As I first said, it's not new; it's just a nice enhancement.

Those are even worse LOL. I'm sorry, not trying to be difficult. But
these are not intuitive to me and IMHO, take extra
programming/debugging time, distract the user and serve no real purpose.
Still, I may consider them. I'm not closed minded after all. :)

Ones which permit the deezyner to scribble in their status area?
IMHO it does get rather tiresome, the way that some hyperactive
deezyners manage to sabotage just about any feature which users have
come to expect (one could mention marking the position of the focus,
marking links as visited, displaying target URLs in the status area,
the expected behaviour of the browser's Back function, etc.), and then
start looking for "exciting" new ways of duplicating the same
functionality, in ways which the user *isn't* expecting, and would
have to learn afresh for each new site they visit.
But, on the other hand, I don't really see any harm in using a little
icon which distinguishes between target pages for which the author or
site still has responsibility, and those which are out of their
control. It's not something that I fuss about myself, but it's OK by
me if others want it.
Neither the single nor the double north-east arrow are in WGL4, but
they're fairly commonly available in recent fonts I think, and Lynx (I
tried 2.8.5dev7) has a reasonable fallback at least for the first, so
if you use an img, alt="↗" for those north-east-arrow icon
graphics.

The sandia.gov link just below the words
"as small as several atoms wide. Credit SNL"
Clicking on it takes me to the mems.sandia.gov page with more spider
mite pictures.
I realize they use the same two-headed arrow for all their "edit" links
as well; don't know why.

Hi group,
I'm trying to add a busy indicator to the sorttable.js code available
at:

(Actually, my version is modified for my needs, such as maintaining
zebra stripes post-sort, multi-column sorting, keeping rows with
subordinate rows together. But my problem exists even with the original
code).

Hello,
Is it possible for a file position indicator of an input stream to be
greater than the size of a file? And if so could this cause fgetc to
somehow write to the file? For example is it possible to continually
call fgetc past the size of the file and cause some type of undefined
behavior? Thanks

that? Is it because of Windows, I am guessing? Do I have to use only
the GDI32 functions for printing under Windows? Can I not use the
stdprn under Windows to print from memory to the window?

I am trying to implement a file upload progress indicator (doesn't have to be a progress bar) using atlas... I do realize that the indicator cannot be implemented using Update panel control, but is it possible to implement it using some other control, for example a floating window?
A link to example would also be useful.
Thanks,
