All mouse-overs and shiny-shiny and graphics and other web gimmicks - I think they follow that stupid fashion of simulating frames with fixed elements (the nitro developer site does). Frames were poor 15 years ago, they are still no good even though the effect is currently trendy. In fact they are often worse now, vertical pixels are relatively scarce these days compared to the days of 4:3 screens! >From a bit of a look at the nitro stuff it looks like the BBC have got some contractor in, Apigee. They provide analytics and other forms of web2.0 spyware, I doubt the mostly anonymous use of iplayer that can be done now is going to be tolerated. Oh well, Channel 4 make things unusable too, I guess the same workaround will be needed for the BBC stuff....
