Omega Chess should work now too. Funny thing was that when you clicked the 'View' link at the bottom-right to see the comment in isolation it did already work. Problem was that I referred to the JavaScript file through a relative path "../membergraphics/MSinteractive-diagrams/betza.js". But the Omega Chess page is apparently in another place of the CVP file-system tree, one level deeper than usual (/large.dir/omega/rules.htm), so that this was not correct on the rules page. I now used an absolute path by removing the leading "..".

I guess I never tried to see the diagram on the pages of the articles themselves. When you post them, after seeing the preview, you are routed to the total comments listing, and there you would also see it in a context where the path name would be correct.

As for the diagrams on your hard disk: where does the link in the <script> tags point to? If it points to a betza.gif instead of a betza.js file, this would explain why it doesn't work.

I have now checked out all diagrams I could remember having made, and they all seem to work (in FireFox, at least). As a demo for the various things that can be done with the interactive diagram, I listed links to all of these below:
