Don't know why. If you know html, it might be worth examining the source code. > Any hints? Yes, a big one. Get "Readability" (free). Go to <http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/> and choose your options in step 1, then drag the link to your bookmarks bar in step 2. It could hardly be easier. I'm sure that Safari Reader will be improved over time, but it doesn't yet hold a candle to "Readability." You can repeat step 1 to make different combinations of options and drag the resulting link to your bookmarks bar for multiple options. The default name for the bookmark is "Readability." I have three Readability scenarios, named XL, Lge, and Med.

One other page had some TABLE tags and when I removed them, the reader icon disappeared.

Does your CSS say that something within a table tag is ______? -- Wes Groleau Rant on using folk wisdom in the classroom http://Ideas.Lang-Learn.us/barrett?itemid=1015

The most obvious difference between the two pages from the OP is that http://www.netaxs.com/~mhmyers/moon.html has a complete doctype declaration, whereas http://www.netaxs.com/~mhmyers/smokesys.html is missing the "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd" bit. I don't know if that's enough to trip up Safari with the "Reader" thing, but it would be easy enough to try! Note that both pages get "Tentatively passed" by the W3C validator, with similar warnings: you might want to take a look at that.

I changed the formatting to use a <TABLE> instead of <img src... align="right"> and the reader icon will now appear. But I cannot get the diagram to show up. The one that works minus the diagram: http://www.netaxs.com/~mhmyers/smokesys.html the one that does not: http://www.netaxs.com/~mhmyers/smokesys1.html Are there some HTML rules about this somewhere? -- m-m http://www.mhmyers.com |
