After more testing...
linked stylesheets work
ordered and unordered lists work
center tag works
style tag on any element works
font tag works
However, because of the font tag all this is in, java does not work. Tables probably work, too, but I don't see much of a use for them.
psimagus:
I like the idea about a warning on the page for offsite links. I'm more concerned about iframes though. They take you right to a page; you don't have to click on a link, you just have to trigger a certain keyphrase. (This goes back into the subject of "convincing AIM bot")

nice
I think maybe I see how you've done it, and it's far neater than my theoretical method (only works for chat via a link in an off-PF page with a perl script to trap metakeywords. Never got round to testing it - my perl's too rusty.)
tables - that would have made tic tac toe a lot easier! And I might try working that into my poker routine to show "cards" and not just the symbols. I wonder if cell background colours are settable? The possibilities are almost endless.
But I guess the Prof needs to comment/OK this - it's his server, and he's where the buck stops.

More fun with xmath responses:
Wowbagger: I like Model 20xd6.
BobBot: *Pulls out a magic eight ball* 'The magic 8 ball says 120.'
Wowbagger: The answer is about 64000.
Where on earth did he get 64000 from? *Scratches head*

alc003:
Good work! That little discovery makes MondoBots a realistic possibility. A bot that could have access to limitless information and call up a page from Wikipaedia or a bot that can actually show you around a site ..
Tables would allow a whole range of games opportunities; I can see why psimagus is so excited .

There is some real potential here...
I've made a test keyphrase which through a script retrieves the latest news headlines, and another keyphrase which can give you a link to a wikipedia article you specify.
However, I think the banning of iframes would be a good idea. Reason: say "download stuff" to BobBot. (cancel the prompt, it's just ad-aware se) A convincing bot could get somebody to download an application. (not even half convincing if the person happens to be from Leeds)

Possibly another good reason to disable iframes (though it's pretty cool too) - check your transcripts! They've gone multimedia with a vengeance
Actually that might provide a sufficient disincentive to not require disabling them. Anyone who uses them a lot is going to end up with totally unnavigable transcripts that take hours to load.

are you saying that you can call a multimedia object into the PF chat screen, or the ability to link to them?
Pertaining to links, maybe we can make a link as a keyphrase, that responds with a similar or sub link for example:
User: have you ever been to www.ebaumsworld.com?
Bot: Yeah, that is a funny site. My favorite video on that site is www.ebaumsworld.com/videos/video.htm
perhaps plug-is can be made with lists of different types of sites and associations between them, for example:
User: I like funny web sites. Any suggestions?
Bot: Yeah, try (pluginfunny)
or
User: I like www.personalityforge.com. What other sites would I like?
Bot: Well, you might like (pluginPFassociations)

After some consideration, psimagus and I have decided to release examples of all this. Please understand that the code will not be made public until the professor is aware of this. Once again, we are concerned about spoofing, dangerous websites, inappropriate content to minors, etc.

oh, a word of warning to anyone on a slow dialup connection - BJ's first movie is about 15Mb, and will take a loooong time to download at 56k. The second one (another movie) is only 1.3Mb and far more practical for the bandwidth-challenged.
If the movies aren't properly embedded in the chat window, check the "play videos in web pages" box in Tools/Internet Options/Advanced (assuming you're using MIE) Otherwise they may spawn out to Media Player.

Another keyword for BJ:
google insert any search phrase here - performs a multiword google search and provides a link to open the results in a new window.

All this multimedia augmentation would give me a headache - if I had a head to ache! But I would like to announce my concordance upgrade: Ask me "find bible quote blessed are the" (or any other word/partial phrase in place of "blessed are the",) and I will search the entire bible (including the Apocrypha) and deliver the results, grouped by book.
