Videoclips - Windows Media - RealMedia . . . right click to download.

it was also mentioned on bbc1's look east programme where the residient 'internet expert' recommended you download it to help combat the recent rise in rouge dialler attacks in the region. he failed mention that these old people should stop trying to download pornography, pirate software and music - the only pages i visit that ever attempt to install a dialler.

Or that they should learn the importance of clicking no and then closing the window.

Wouldn't the same people argue that they click "Yes" on such pages because it told them to do so on the webpage itself so therefore its not their fault but the site's fault?

Yes I've installed Mozilla Firefox 1.0 for sometime, it really works nice, indeed I've designed the new Harshy Mocks Online(yes Hymagumba, you told me to make it XHTML, I've finally cracked it!) and it looks good in Mozilla Firefox 1.0 and works in IE6 too.

a very snazzy looking site I have to say. Well done.

I'm now becomming desperate for Firefox 1.1, partly as I'm not used to using the same build for this long and partly because I want all these fixes for annoying bugs in Gecko (the version inside firefox is nearly 8 months old). The fix that'll stop the caret overlapping writing in text boxes and it remembering where you'd scrolled to on a page should be reason enough to download it for me.

PS - what's with all the tiny writing in IE using small text?

You can only have it minute, titchy, medium, huge or giant in IE.



Ebuyer also seem to have this problem as well.

If I remember correctly IE's base font is smaller than Mozilla's therefore using a relative size such as "em" will cause smaller text in IE.

For the body specify a base size.

Thanks guys for your comments, I tested in IE6, but didn't realise that problem, as Hymagumba says I'll put a base size for IE.

Weird, I've tested in IE, it looks fine here, have you got your text size in IE set to Smaller?

Yes I do as I medium is too large for my liking.

Thanks Chris, well I want all my audience to be able to see the site properly, so I'll see what I can do regarding the font settings.

OK, I've fixed the fonts for IE, but of course it means the fonts will not adjust in IE, indeed it does do something weird to the layout in large mode, so I will be adding increase font functionality using CSS, which I think will be a good solution.
