Basically this paginates the txt file and remembers your last position in a cookie so you can later resume reading where you left off.
A worthy effort, but it doesn't use standard document navigation, so I can't use the "Top / Up / First / Previous / Next / Last / Document / More" standard navigation bar that my browser gives me. Conforming documents make this feature one of the great joys of using Mozilla. Stewart [Moderator: For more about standard document navigation links in HTML, see http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#type-links . Note that Mozilla's link toolbar appears to use more types of link relationships than are specified in the HTML standard, but it does also appear to recognize the standard ones. - JMO] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent via the Book People mailing list.

Nice toolbar. I didn't know I had this one :-) Navigation will come soon, in fact I've already experimented with the "preload" link but stupid mozilla doesn't preload pages that need parameters. Why it refuses to preload a page I tell him its okay to preload, I don't understand. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
Just to clarify, I did NOT write the quotation attribted to me below, probably an artifact of multiple replies in the mailer not being all included in the last reply. Michael Hart On Thu, 23 Sep 2004, Marcello Perathoner wrote:
