Interactive JI Guitar Analyzer

Hello fellow microtonalists!

Okay, it's finally ready. I've got a fancy web page for a Just Intonation
Guitar:

http://www.pacificnet.net/~nowitzky/justint/jiguitar.htm

It's a flyer from the recent MicroFest concert in the Los Angeles area.
Anyway, the idea is that you click the mouse on a fret on the pictured
guitar, and the "ratio" shown at the top of the page will reflect where you
clicked. For example, clicking at the nut (i.e., playing an "open string")
yields "Ratio: 1 = 1 / 1", and clicking on the fret that's an octave up
(near the top of the flyer) yields "Ratio: 2 = 2 / 1".

Some tricky math is being used to determine the ratio fraction - believe it
or not, I had to develop a modified version of "Euclid's Greatest Common
Divisor Algorithm".

Comments, constructive criticism, destructive criticism, whatever, are
welcome! Thanks,

--Mark

Pretty cool! It didn't work in Netscape but I was checking it out with
Explorer. Isn't anyone going to do reviews of the LA fest?
