Unfortunately the extensions on spyce pages happen to be ".spy" which may cause suspicion. I promise you that the extension has nothing to do with keyloggers. The .spy extension is similar to the .php, .asp, .py, and .aspx extensions you see on other web sites. To ease your concerns about our site you can see press coverage for our company here: http://daily.stanford.edu/tempo?page=content&id=17938&repository=0001_article http://www.emilychang.com/go/ehub/ehub-interviews-pagebites/ http://digability.blogspot.com/2005/10/i-recommend-pagebites.html Please let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks, Ralph I got this message back from Ralph on the .spy file extension:

What's the purpose of these extensions? I removed the .spy extensions from the above URLs since I'm suspicious of them and concerned that they might be some kind of keylogger. Robin Ralph,

It looks like they strip everything in the <HEAD> as well as the <BODY> and </BODY> elements. That's what most web email systems like Hotmail and Yahoo do. I did have some success putting the styles inside the <BODY> - I will have to play with this. Who noticed the "peace sign" favicon? See my <a href="http://www.hucklesby.com/blog0502.shtml#day13" title="Peace Sign" rel="nofollow">Doodles</a> for 13 Feb 2005 for the story behind it. Cordially, David Yes.

Unfortunately, as far as I could tell, the external CSS trick isn't working anymore. I tried the external sheet, as we did back when Mani was in class, but it wouldn't link. I took a look at the source code for the "styled" ads posted on Craigslist and from what saw they are all using a combination of tables and inline CSS.

Her design was styled with CSS and no tables for structure, as far as I recall. Maybe we should have Mani back to explain how ... ? :-) One of your talented students – Mani Sheriar – showed me how she put up her home page as an ad on Craig’s List.
