Ok I found the problem it was all to do with the resizing and the fact that
the header had a fixed height and overlaid the Menu. Set height to auto and
the problem went away.
Not sure why you think I should be using XHTML as extension, browsers should
be using the DOCTYPE to work out what to do not the extension. What about my
PHP site's.
All the pop-up blockers I have in my browsers allow it. It is something to
do with on and off site. I use Opera as my main browser.
I'm rethinking my resizing, it is necessary. Most site I find I cannot read
at my screen resolution and I use Opera's zoom all the time (it helps to
have a mouse with zoom buttons). But as we roll out more web 2.0 stuff
JavaScript is essential.
The default font-size works OK fine in 800x600 screens, maybe I should wake
up to the fact that these days the minimum is 1024x768.
Thanks for the feed back.
Regards,
Nic

Hi Nic,
I am not seeing this problem here - FF 2.0.0.4 on Win xp Pro.
The other problem is with the popup window that is opened if you click on
one of the
links to articles from the page above. There neither of the menu links
work at all, no
mouseover and click does nothing.
I get the popup, too! It looks like your problem is local to your
test setup. :\
There are some problems that I do see, however:
- If JavaScript is disabled, I get a font size of 8px. That's
equivalent to a point size of 4pt on my laptop. Almost invisible.
- The popup text displays at 10px - 6pt equivalent here.
That's a bit small for comfort, especially on a complete article.
- You have a file name suffix of .htm so, absent some clever server-
side tricks, browsers see HTML. But your DOCTYPE is XHTML 1.1
which is intended to be displayed as XHTML only. I suggest using a
file name suffix of .xhtml[1] or use XHTML 1.0.
- I'd also suggest using regular links in place of a popup. With the
increasing popularity of popup blockers, visitors are likely to have
problems with accessing the articles.
IE and Opera are OK.
But Opera has a built-in popup blocker. The Google toolbar adds
one to IE.
I am also getting the same teensy text with JS turned off.
(FWIW - I usually turn off JS when visiting sites unknown.)
[1] But note that IE (alone) can't handle such files.
Cordially,
David
