I am building a glossary. Each letter of the alphabet has its own
HTML page, and each glossary entry on the page already has a unique
HTML anchor tag immediately to the left of it.
I've already learned how to do a Javascript pop up browser window. Is
there a way to create one that will use the existing HTML anchors as
markers and retrieve and display only the text string that starts
after a specified anchor, and ends just before then next anchor?

Kaeli,
Thanks for you fast response. When I tried this, it popped up a grey
alert box that contained the link description text ("Text of link" in
your example), but nothing from the page that I linked to
(someLink.html" in your example). Was that what it was supposed to
do?
What I was after was to open up a small new browser window which
contained only the text between two anchors on another page, e.g. the
link resides on page_one.html, and when clicked it pops up a small
browser window which contains only the text found between
page_two.html#f irstanchor and page_two.html#s econdanchor.
Any ideas?
Ed

Sorry, I misunderstood what you wanted.
I've been putzing around with using an IFRAME, but so far haven't gotten it
to work well in IE (issue with waiting for the contents to load and catching
that event before trying to read the contents) or work at all in NN6 (won't
let me reference the iframe with document.frames and won't let me access the
iframe document contents with getElementById) .
I'd do this server-side, to be honest. Anything you do client-side is going
to be a JS hack to read and parse the contents of the file and won't be as
cross-browser as an internet app should be.

I've got a page with two columns: one floats left, the other doesn't

pixels wide. However, when the browser window gets narrow, IE pushes
the text in the right-hand column to below where the left-hand column
ends. I can't figure out where I went wrong.

While working on a commercial product, I came up with a way to allow
users to drag and drop bits of web pages into my site. This works
regardless of whether the source is from my site or not, and even
works with non-browser applications (such as Word) that can drop an
HTML representation of their rich text. Tested in IE and FF on Windows
and Linux:

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
