Make directory listings from ftp and the local system look nicer.
This is just a bug-fix release of Moktoipas's stellar "FTP pages were awful [sic]."
CHANGED ITEMS
If you open these two styles in a graphical diff program like gvimdiff or tkdiff, you'll see that I changed very little.
Minor fixes implemented from comments on style 210
For file://, I moved the non-table parts into an ftp-only section and then demanded explicit hierarchy for the table elements, based on the post-rendered hierarchical structure of:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><!-- snip -->
<body>
<h1><!-- snip --></h1>
<hr><table>
<tbody>
<!-- entire content lies here -->
<!-- snip -->
CSS lets us specify an elements by parents, elder siblings, and exact attribute content for each element/parent/sibling. This lets me use every non-snipped bit above, thus mostly eliminating collisions with Sage (whatever that is) and non-auto-generated local html content. You can find more on this at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/selector.html
KNOWN BUGS
File:// indexes have larger margins, HR bars at the top and bottom, and the default heading format. I cannot fix that without affecting all local HTML documents. Moktoipas's solution was to not render file:// indexes at all.
Install options
- Install Stylish for Firefox, Thunderbird, Flock, Mozilla Suite, SeaMonkey, or Songbird. If you have Stylish already, make sure you're using the latest version and have JavaScript enabled.
- You need Firefox with Stylish to use this style. Get it now, then Install Stylish, then come back here to install this style.
- - load into the Stylish extension where you can preview and save it.
- - this style has been updated since you installed it in Stylish.
- - Greasemonkey and Opera users can load this style as a user script.

Very nice!
I have had only one problem. The greasemonkey script seems to effect all the sites I am veiwing. Is anybody else experiencing the same?
And this style would be great with directory listing in http:// not only file:// and ftp://. It would need some serious recoding but I think its possible.

Script ain't the same as the original in my case...is this meant to be used in conjunction with the original?
