Subject: HTML Chess Board?



I am looking for a simple way to display 2D chess positions
on a website. Plain HTML preferred, but I will use JavaScript
or Java if there is no other choice.

Perhaps I can serve up a ., .jpg or .png that consists of
64 smaller graphics?

I quite like the one used at www.chessdom.com. Perhaps the tools used
to generate the boards/games are freely available and the author would
be happy to allow you to use them? I would contact them and ask.

Cheers,
Andy

Why not use a simple 8x8 table that uses a different png image for every
square. Maybe with transparent background where you set the square color
with CSS colors.
