I'm sure there are good reasons (security-related) for this, but it is frustrating.  For reasons that will be obvious to anybody who's read <A HREF=\"http:\/\/utownwriting.com\/2009\/stories\/the-case-of-the-four-women-part-one\">The Case of the Four Women<\/A>, I'm thinking about posting <A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.u-town.com\/text\/utown\/carly\/carlyday.htm\">Carly<\/A> on the utownwriting blog, and finally implementing the original hypertext structure for it.  That never happened before, because I was trying to implement it with <A HREF=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Javascript\">JavaScript<\/A>, but that proved impossible.  I managed to do it with <A HREF=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vbscript\">VBScript<\/A>, but Internet Explorer is the only browser that supports VBScript (unfortunately).  For a while I thought I'd be able to do it in <A HREF=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Xml\">XML<\/A>, but XML never replaced HTML (as was originally planned), so that never happened either.<\/p>\n<p>But now I have <A HREF=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Php\">PHP<\/A>, and that will make it possible to do.  But since I can't do it in the blog, it will take longer to set up.  But it will be coming soon.  (Unless I get lazy and decide to do it in the blog after all, just in a less \"elegant\" way.)<\/p>\n<p>By the way, \"Carly\" is a standalone story, though it is also the sixteenth chapter of the novel <A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.u-town.com\/text\/utown\/\">U-town<\/A>.
