Hope it goes well.

BTW: right-hand buttons don't work for me in FireFox, but good in IE.

Same result as Duncan: the buttons are blank I'm afraid.

As a recent convert to Firefox... ditto.

Fix your buttons John!

Sorry, bloody atrocious using Opera on a pocket PC - the layout's all over the place, overlapping and obscuring other bits. I didn't even try to click anything!

But good luck with it John.

Doesn't work with Firefox here either

Not a solution - but something I use (more than I should have to) in Firefox is IE Tab which renders the window you are looking at as an Internet Explorer page, you can then set that page to always open in an IE Tab - I use it mainly on my backwards Banks online system.

It makes John's page work.

Blimey, that's let the cat out of the bag!

Many cheers for the comments folks; the site's at a very very early stage and we've still a lot of work to do; we haven't a clue (yet) as to why some browsers like it and some don't (we complete novices at this site building lark) but we'll try to work on it soon.

Very hard when we don't have internet access!

One of the few web pages I've seen produced by Serif WebPlus:- the HTML is bizarre to say the least.

For a very simple page it has dozens of absolutely positioned elements with different z-indices using tables and image-maps - what's that all about?.

The reams of weird HTML generated for the navigation could be replaced by a simple unordered list of a few lines that would work in anything.

Many thanks to all those who posted here and elsewhere, and emailed, to let us know what they thought and to alert us to problems with the site.

Even though I haven't a clue what such technical terms as "HTML" and "z-indices" are (anything to do with in-D-centcies?), my webmistress (Steph, of course) has hopefully managed to fix 'em tonight. She claims not to know what she's doing either but so far, far as we can tell, it seems to have worked - at least, for IE, Firefox and Safari (flippin' 'eck, she's overloading me with more technical terms!); if you're still having problems, please let us know, we do appreciate it.

That said, we're off line for a couple of weeks after tonight to clean and paint the new house. Do drop by for coffee and doughnuts.

You'll need to bring the doughnuts.

Oh, and there's a little new stuff on the site. Not a lot, but a little.
