Non-Excel pages

Notes

Here are a couple of other pages that might be of interest but have nothing to do with Excel.

Tower of Hanoi puzzle
My animated Tower of Hanoi page uses javaScript and css to move the rings. The ring that moves each time is related to the number of the move expressed in binary form. The biggest ring moves only once on move number 16. The smallest ring moves on every odd numbered move.

* There are a number of very good websites about the Tower of Hanoi puzzle. I particularly like the one by Miroslav Kolar.

Find prime numbers using xsl
Here is an amusing way to find prime numbers in a web browser. It uses MSXML to pass the user's choices as parameters to the stylesheet. and so it will only work with Internet Explorer. I have done a slightly simpler version that also works with Mozilla. If you want to have a look at how it works, you can download both versions below. If you simply save the page using your browser, it is unlikely to pick up all the files you need.


* Download xslprime.zip (6 kb)
* W3 Schools provides a good introduction to xml and xsl.
* For more in depth reference I have found the Zvon tutorial and Dave Pawson's xsl questions and answers particularly helpful.
