OK, here it comes! Copy the text below to a file, ad save it on your computer as 'trial.html'. If you then open that file with your browser it should show an interactive diagram for Elven Chess. Then you can try replacing the diagram definition inside the file (the pink part) by what you get from the Design Wizard for your own variant. You will have to change the definition of graphicsDir to http://www.chessvariants.com/graphics.dir/alphaerie , (i.e. replace the ".." in the location by the URLof the CVP website) and the link to the JavaScript source (in the first line) to http://www.chessvariants.com/membergraphics/MSinteractivedia/betza.gif (or leave that line in place, as it is already written that way in the HTML below).

Note that in this context the legend belonging to the diagram is not hidden below it, but placed openly next to it. This is caused by the presence of a 'table' element with id="pieceTable" (highlighted in green) elsewhere on the page.
