Can you please be a bit more specific? In which URL should the ampersand be
replaced?

I checked how I would do that and did not find a good solution. If I put a

<img width=300 ...> 

for example, this scales down a big picture to only 300 pixels width. But if you submit a small
picture, like just an icon, it blows it up to 300 pixels as well, which does not look nice.
Unfortunatle I don't know of any option like "maxwidth=x" which only scales pictures down if they
are larger than x. Do you know?

the following should do the job:

<table><TR><TD width="200">
<img src="IMG_3133.jpg" width="100%">
</TD></TR></table>

or (better I think)

<div style="width: 200px">
<img src="IMG_3133.jpg" style="width: 100%" />
</div>

the configurable parameter should be with obviously :-)

elog sends wrong HTTP headers, charset is empty and not separed from the
next one "Connection: Keep-Alive ... this bug tells the browser that the
encoding is "connection:" ... that is wrong.

this is the problem from validator point of viev:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmidas.psi.ch%2Felogs%2FForum%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=%28detect+automatically%29&ss=1&verbose=1

> as this url shows http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#amp


> it should be used an HTML entity instead of the ampersand sign.<p>

another problem with validation:
required attribute "ALT" not specified  in every <img> tag used in the elog (icons)

here is an example of the validator results:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmidas.psi.ch%2Felogs%2FLinux+Demo%2F&charset=iso-8859-1+%28Western+Europe%29&verbose=1

 up :-)

the following patch corrects the problem, plz apply :
