Howw did you do that?

-- wwoww (nobody@noonee..com), March 15, 2000.

Clicked on the link, went to the blue page, clicked on the silver tab that said EXPERIENCE CALIFORNIA and nothing happened. Did I just experience California or does something else happen????????

Suzy:

You are right in both cases [for what it is worth]. For me, it didn't work on IE but did on Netscape. May be my OS.

Best wishes,,,,,,

Worked for me using IE 4.0. Kind of reminded me of being in San Francisco in 89.

My speakers aren't working. Did I miss the sound of the freight train passing through my house?

That WAS a cute one, Uncle Bob.

Deb: No need for sound. [I put on my headphones based on your post, but still heard nothing.]

LOL! 4:31 am Northridge 1/17/94 all over again (w/o sound)

-- Debbie (dbspence@usa.net), March 16, 2000.

OK, all you Golden Staters, let's go through the usual quake drill:

(1) Sit fairly still and estimate the Richter on current "event"

(2) Decide whether it's a "roller", "shaker", "jolt", or "The Big One"

(3) Try to remember the last quake and figure out whether this one's an aftershock or a new quake

(4) Go back to sleep...

LOL, Unc B! Thanks for the bellylaugh...

I don't get it

not the first time and not the last

If the earth doesn't move for you, your browser doesn't support Java. The California simulation is done using the Java 'shake' function defined by:

function shake(n) {

if (self.moveBy) {

for (i = 15; i > 0; i--) {

for (j = n; j > 0; j--) {

self.moveBy(0,i);

self.moveBy(i,0);

self.moveBy(0,-i);

self.moveBy(-i,0);

}

}

}

}

OK

I opened up in IE4, and it worked, so yes, I get it now =oP. But I have to tell you, any earthquake I've ever felt, feels like you're on a giant waterbed; Sort of sway and back and forth movement. But of course, I've never been IN the epicenter.

It's not Java - it's javascript!

-- kermit (colourmegreen@hotmail.com), March 16, 2000.

You beat me to the punch...javascript it not JAVA...Java is compiled code which becomes an applet...javascript is simply scripting language added to a html document...you can do amazing "dynamic" things with javascript, however the shaking, quaking browser window can get old fast. LOL
