One more time, the real link is:

The site is as clean, as it gets, from the standpoint of
any malicious activity, and not only that. Much care was
taken to make sure it looks good on all browsers.

Well, if you go to that extent, that means this site deserves
to be downloaded as a whole. Yep, it is worth it indeed.
Because it is a huge collection of articles, all organized,
categorized and filtered by the best filters you can find.
You won't find so much information in any book on Java.
You can prolly throw away all your Java books because you have
at least ten times more useful information on this site, than
in any book on Java.
But the site is big, about 150 megs, and that is about a half
of the full site, that includes quite a few other significant
topics.

If you can point out exactly where you found problems,
that would help.

Thanks. The site was tested under MS IE, Firefox and Opera.
Overall balance was achieved by generating the HTML code that
make the site look best on all browsers, even though it is not
quite possible. Depending on fonts you have installed and all sorts
of other things, your fonts and colors may not be the same.
But you can modify your style sheet to make it look exactly the way
you want. There are quite a few different styles for various headers,
etc. to give you full control of how it looks. Look at index.html
under each chapter/topic, and look at individual article pages.
That should give you all the styles used.
The best browser to view this site turns out to be MS IE for all
sorts of reasons. In fact, the original version of the site was
generated for MS IE and looks even better than this one. But when
it was tested with Firefox and Opera, it turned out that some
things don't work and results look not as good, as with MS IE.
So, it all had to be changed to achieve a workable balance
between all browsers.

Cookies are set by the server for whatever reason.
This shouldn't be a problem of any kind.
The cookie isn't even needed or used. It is utterly useless as far
as Java Goldmine goes.

Actually, the database subjects are also covered in the full version
of the site.
Well, I did set followups to the groups, this mouth foaming jack
is hanging out on, to make sure people see his real face, which is
nothing but disgrace.
