Today I wrote a script that will let me put any HTML page on the site within a column with a navigation column on the left side.

This improves the consistency of navigation on the site and better integrates the old web pages with the new look/feel of the site.

While I was at it, I fixed a bunch of bad links on various pages. Especially old Download and Buy links that pointed to old pages.

Yet another small step towards improving the site. Let me know if you run into any dead links or other problems.

You may want to replace the 404 document with one that's a bit more Zugg-like. The one displayed clicking the link below is a tad plain:

The apache 1.3.x directive to point 404 errors at a custom page is:
ErrorDocument 404 /not_found.php

By way of example (apologies for any inferred advertising):

The pages overflow the table leaving the copyright somewhere in the middle.

Header is just a tad bit off

Nexela, what browser are you using? I'm not seeing any problems in IE. Maybe you can post a small screen shot of what you mean by "overflow the table". I'm not seeing any overflowing text here, even when I resize my browser to make it smaller.

gth: Custom error messages are very low on my priority list right now. Lots of other more important stuff to fix first.

Firefox 1.0,
Opened it with IE without a problem
I also noticed its random sometimes it will be halfway, sometimes most of way, and sometimes it looks normal. Unless you where fixing it as I was viewing it :P

And the header problem at http://www.emobius.com/mantis/main_page.php

That's really wierd. Must be some bad HTML somewhere on the page. I'll try to get time to run Firefox and see if I can track it down. IE tends to be very forgiving about bad HTML, and that can be really aggravating sometimes.

I can understand the problem with the Library page, since the HTML is being generated as a combination of a template and an existing page. But I have no idea on the Mantis page. Looks like, once again, the margin settings are messed up, but that should be added to the master CSS file now, so I don't know why Mantis isn't using it. Sigh.

126: <table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10" border="0" align="center">
