404.shtml

I got bored... so I started playing with a custom 404 error page (here's the results, this page doesn't exist so it'll generate the error - http://www.commodore128.org/~cbm)

Anyone wanna fiddle with this for me to display the green & black borders & screen ? Oh yeah, the blinking cursor is a '#', but I'd really like to have a flashing block cursor. And the correct font would be nice too

Here's the code:

Code Select

Well, I stayed with the VDC rather than the crummy 40-column screen (god i hate those colors), but maybe this will be ok:

Code Select


<HTML>
<HEAD>
    <TITLE>C128</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<Style>

body
{
	text-align: center;
	color:cyan;
}


#content {

	background-color:black;
	height=500px;
	width=800px;
	margin-left:200;
	margin-right:260;
}

#cursor {
	position:relative;
	top:-17px;
	left:0px;
	background-color:cyan;
	width:8px;
	height:14px;
}

</Style>

<script type="text/javascript">
var i = 1,timer;
window.onload=function() {
timer = setInterval('blink()', 500);
}
function blink() {

        if (i == 1) { 
              document.getElementById('cursor').style.backgroundColor = 'black';
        } 
	else {
              document.getElementById('cursor').style.backgroundColor = 'cyan';
        }

	i  ;
	if (i == 3) i = 1;

}
</script>

Pretty good - except the cursor (in Firefox at least) flashes once then disappears

Why not just use an animated GIF for the cursor?

True

Cool!

Now all you have to do is add some disk drive head-banging noises.

Actually......... not a bad idea

I just saw this today... Very nice!

Loss of blinking cursor: I think that is fixed if you find the following:

i ;
if (i == 3) i = 1;

And replace with:

i++ ;
if (i == 3) i = 1;

Doing all that by memory - not tested, but try it and see.

Thanks
