Partially
fixed all of the drop-down menus. For some reason Internet Explorer
6 and Netscape 6.1 won't show images with heights of 100% the
full height of the table. Instead it shows them at their actual
dimensions (in this case something like 2 pixels high). However
the menus all work perfectly in Mozilla Firebird and Firefox.
Now to find a way around this.
Edited

Ran
the Link Checker again. 1738 broken links site wide again (of course
links within a document are counted in this, so it's not all that
accurate. Also, a large number of them are from the Tables version
of the site, which seems to put the broken links back as fast as
I fix them. So far, I've managed to drop the number to 1501.
Added
the entry for Gollum to the Characters from
Middle-Earth G page.
Broken
up the Places in Middle-Earth section by the Alphabet. Each letter

Ran
the Link Checker. Turned out there were 900 or so broken links
site-wide. I've managed to fix about 350, mostly internal links.
The link checker also counts internal links as broken links.
The majority of the rest come from links to related entries that
have yet to be created. I
have no idea how a simple "#top" link got changed to
a "../../index.htm#top"
site-wide through the Tables version and parts of the Layers
version of the site, but that has now been corrected. In the
process it corrected all of the image maps in the Tables version
of the page.
Edited
the Glossary page. No new content
added though.

the older entries that have been added already.
