E-card trouble
I've been getting quite a lot of complaints about the e-card in HTML Help format.
So, besides the HTML Help version of this card, which can be downloaded from http://users.telenet.be/sibiryak/docs/birthcard.chm and which is the version of choice if you don't have any problems with it, there is now another version.
This other version is a zip file which contains a folder with the plain HTML version of the e-card. You can download it from http://users.telenet.be/sibiryak/docs/Stefan.zip. All you have to do is unzip it (please make sure you unzip it in such a way that the internal folder hierarchy is kept, or it will not work!!), run (double-click) the index.html file and you're good to go. Sorry folks, but the sound-track only works in Internet Explorer. Yeah, I know that sucks and I don't even like that browser, but hey, I designed the e-card for the HTML Help Viewer (which is based on IE and even requires it).
But, if you don't have IE and want to hear the sound-track anyway, you can locate the sound file Stefke3-nofx.mp3 in the audio folder and listen to it separately. It's not THAT impressive, though.
Hope this helps.
So, what I've done is put the e-card online, meaning you can access it like any other web page. No more hassles with downloads and stuff. Its address is http://users.telenet.be/sibiryak/docs/stefan.html. There you will also find instructions on how to view it plus 2 downloadable versions.
For now, sound is only available in IE. I'm on it.
Hope you like it!
