obviously doesn't work in IE6.0

doesn't work in opera 6 either.

regarding extension of the image functions to more formats: it would be nice to be able to handle PNG completely (i.e. including thunbnail generation), but until then i'd say there's no point in hacking the image functions, because you could upload the icon as a plain old file as well.

btw, michi, you never need an apostrophe for forming the plural. you should slap your fingers with a ruler... ;-)

now works correctly in antville (cvs-diff), including thumbnail-creation (i tested it with interlaced and non-interlaced pngs). IE requires an .ico-file (windows icon format) for favicons, which can be uploaded as file (instead of image). so i don't think it's necessary to tweak the image-upload to allow .ico-files.

who t.f. cares? this weblog complies with dogma 2000, doesn't it?

(severely off topic)

this weblog complies with dogma 2000, doesn't it? Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Since the HTML is very sloppy regarding standards that ensure everyone can parse it without getting a head-ache, we should make the postings fit in there.

The dogma-2000-people violated their own rules by intentionally putting typos on their front page (which they want to be read by thousands of people), just to make their point. Which isn't too clever, because your precious knowledge only does any good on the net if people can find it—mind you, Google has no spelling tolerance feature yet—and if it's accessible, i.e. in a proper format and not stuck "together with some gaffa tape". They're bloody arseholes. I don't care, though; I'm liberal in what I accept and conservative in what I send.

Oh, and regarding the HTML: I heard someone's been working on a new version for ages, but still not done yet... ;-)
