Car Forum / Citroen Cars / September 2006The history of Citroen
I posted a couple of weeks ago about purchasing a Xantia Exclusive 99 model (stv.). Before that I`ve only had Mazdas, and not getting anywhere near a garage or a service man. That hasn`t happened yet with the Xantia, but I was kind of sceptical about changing from Mazda since the ones I`ve had have been close to perfect when it comes to reliability. Boring, but reliable. I guess I`ll stick with Citroen for a while. More comfort, more fun to drive and: They look better. I was wondering if there was a page on the net with the history of Citroen with lots of pictures and car models over the years. I`ve found a few in norwegian, but they`re mainly about that owners cars, not the entire range. Can someone help me... Frank, aka Mr. Pink have a look at http://www.citroencarclub.org.uk/PostNuke/ and http://www.citroen.co.uk/level3/generalpage.asp?pagetype=heritage&lhn=aboutcitroen they should get you started GGJ > have a look at > http://www.citroencarclub.org.uk/PostNuke/ [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > they should get you started > GGJ Thank you, Pink > I posted a couple of weeks ago about purchasing a Xantia Exclusive 99 > model (stv.).

Julian has a great site. Some obviously don't understand how JavaScript can be used to deliver or mask all sorts of nasties, for example the supposed destination of a web site link on a web page (as on a philshing emails) isn't necessarily were you are going to end up [1] and without the Task Bar showing the real URL how does one know before actually launching the page?... I'm not saying that the above site is a philser or virus spreader but without the Task Bar how can one really know? If web authors understood when and were to use JS correctly people who do want to do harm would have a harder time of conning the gullible. [1] the HTML code could be written as [might line wrap]; <a href "...//..w.download_a_virus.com/philshing.exe">Read our free hint and tips PDF file!</a>. Now the unwary will believe that they are downloading a freebie PDF file, they might not bother checking what the file actually is when asked if they want to open it or download it - and if they opt to open it..... >> I was reading <news:76m5g25f3p93n2q68skraglrv3ddnhkfj4@4ax.com>, >made [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] >what the file actually is when asked if they want to open it or >download it - and if they opt to open it.....

I get very frustrated when I don't see what others see.

No I have not disabled JavaScript, and if IE is one of the *safer* web browsers I'd hate to try a dangerous one. WHAT happens to "others"? >> Assume I'm simple, and explain to me slowly - you wouldn't want me >to >> think you were *wrong* or anything, would you? > >I have, trouble is you are either clueless or trolling.

No, but you are showing yourself up as an ignorant troll! Look at the source code of the said sites index page and you will see a similar script to this one, below, in the html code; <BODY onLoad="scrollit(100)"> <SCRIPT> <!-- function scrollit(seed) { var m1 = "Hope you've enjoyed your stay here!"; var m2 = " JavaScript Kit. Your ultimate"; var m3 = " source for JavaScripts!"; var m4 = ""; var msg=m1+m2+m3+m4; var out = " "; var c = 1; if (seed > 100) { seed--; cmd="scrollit("+seed+")"; timerTwo=window.setTimeout(cmd,100); } else if (seed <= 100 && seed > 0) { for (c=0 ; c < seed ; c++) { out+=" "; } out+=msg; seed--; window.status=out; cmd="scrollit("+seed+")"; timerTwo=window.setTimeout(cmd,100); } else if (seed <= 0) { if (-seed < msg.length) { out+=msg.substring(-seed,msg.length); seed--; window.status=out; cmd="scrollit("+seed+")"; timerTwo=window.setTimeout(cmd,100); } else { window.status=" "; timerTwo=window.setTimeout("scrollit(100)",75); } } } //--> </SCRIPT> Example script taken from http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/cut11.shtml >> On Sun, 10 Sep 2006 16:52:37 +0100, "Jerry" ><INVALID@INVALID.INVALID> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >Look at the source code of the said sites index page and you will see >a similar script to this one, below, in the html code; <snip> So the substance of your complaint is that it displays a scrolling message on the status bar? Nothing to do with the taskbar at all, in fact? Couldn't you have said that in the first place, without all the obscurantist "nudge, nudge, wink, wink" nonsense? Plonker.

Clearly. And I think I'll stay that way. Just f.ck off and don't bother enlightening me any more, please. SignatureIan > <snip> > >>Couldn't you have said that in the first place, without all the >>obscurantist "nudge, nudge, wink, wink" nonsense? > > You still don't get it do you, you're obviously totally clueless. To avoid you guys starting a war in a Citroen newsgroup, can`t you just explain what is wrong about the site, browser or whatever it is? And don`t post a loooooooong "cut and paste" thingy from an error message, I have NO idea what those are about...lol. Are you being redirected or what? I`m using Mozilla and I had no problems. I don`t use IE, but I got version 7 on my laptop. Peace... Mr. Pink >> <snip> >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Mr. Pink <http://www.citroen.mb.ca/citroenet/> has a little 'javascript' that displays a scrolling message in the 'status bar' of the browser, saying (in this case) "Welcome to Citroenet". Scary, isn't it! Most people don't notice such messages - some browsers don't even have a 'status bar', and many people disable 'javascript' anyway - so I don't know why web site designers bother to include such fripperies; they certainly aren't any sort of 'threat', not even to Windows.

Ye gods, all this because of a tiddly little message. If you had explained the problem at the start then you wouldn't have come across as an arrogant wotsit and have to start abusing others. Sheesh.

I think that if someone was trying to sneak a 'nasty' onto your system from a website, you would not notice anything at all until some time afterwards - if then. If you want to be paranoid about your computer's vulnerabilities, then you should not use Internet Explorer or Outlook Express for anything, you should install and keep up-to-date all the patches and security updates and so on for your operating system and all your programs (or delete the programs you aren't using), and you should install and keep up-to-date whatever 'anti-adware', 'anti-spyware', and 'anti-virus' applications take your fancy, along with a 'firewall' - preferably a 'hardware firewall' built into a 'router' between your computer and the internet. Or simply not use Windows at all for anything involving the internet.
