[B-Greek] Greek website

Thanks for the suggestion.
I could have done something similar to the popup. In fact, I had 
programmed a few pages where clicking on a word brought up all the info 
on that particular word in a little popup window.
I went back to the style I am using for a couple of reasons. Going to 
the lexicon also reveals other words from a similar root which might 
help in explaining the word. It also meant that the popup would take 
more programming time and I wanted something usable right now.
The problem I see with the www.septuagint.org site is that there is no 
meaning given. Also each verse begins with the upper case which disturbs 
the flow of the text. That's why I have chosen to put it into paragraph 
form where I can. I still have work to do in that respect. The 
www.septuagint.org site needs to have better linkage between each 
chapter and book. Mine is a little awkward in some respects as well. I 
thought of using frames with the book titles on the left and the text on 
the right, but not everyone can use frames. I've used drop-down / 
extend-out menus in other programs (e.g., 
http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/cad1900/CAD07S.HTM); but thought simple 
menus would be better in the Greek program.
Knowing how much labour programming takes, that site could take quite a 
while to flesh out.
Cheers
