whoops......looks like an old ADOdb version that was languishing in CVS 
slipped past me.  I usually expoprt the source from CVS, then add in the 
latest adodb build when packaging a release.  I'll update it tonight, 
fix the small bug you spotted and post an 0.9.2  release on the site.

I might just allow the user to flag if a block is supposed to be right 
or left and pass a flag to the blocks.php to display R or L blocks only, 
so you' include blocks.php?show=left in one column and 
blocks.php?show=right on the other.  I was thinking of adding a style 
manager for the blog admins rather than try to implement a full blown 
site templating system.    Since the whole idea behind simplog was to 
include PHP inline, the user can layout the page however they want in 
the index.php file.....

It works in IE5.5+, Netscape 7.1+, Mozilla 1.3+, Firebird/fox 0.7+, 
Camino 0.8+ on any platform that supports those browsers.  Moz, Firefox, 
and Camino are all available on the Mac.  I was thinking of making it a 
preference to the user to enable/disable it.  I don't know of any for 
Safari, as its based on KHTML(idiot apple!), which doesn't current have 
the technology to edit markup inline in the browser....

We can also make available other inline editors, like FCK(which their 
demo doesn't work on FF1.0PR..grrr) or others

We use it in an app at work and all our Mac users get pissed when I tell 
them to download Firefox. :)

no problem....there will be a 09to10.php script to add all DB changes 
for upgrades, and another script where the tables are created, but its 
name is escaping me right now....

sure

me too....what did you have in mind?

I think we should just rename the functions.....:)
