Hi all you experts, Now before you all say that I shouldn't be listening to radio 2..... I am in their target audience age group, OK!
Anyway, I am having problems accessing their website (as I want to Listen again to a show). It is only a a recent thing and I have no trouble accessing the general BBC radio site or other radio station sites, but when I click on Radio 2 (or Radio 3 or site map pages) I just get a blank screen and the "Done" word in the bottom left of screen. It gives me a blank screen on listen now, too. Any ideas? I know I havn't blocked the site in the firewall and I am completely stumped...!!!
Thanks, in advance. Cheers, Jon

Are you using Firefox or any other browser that isn't Internet Explorer?
If so, try Internet Explorer
The BBC especially seems to be biased towards IE

I think they use Realplayer aswell, so you might have to make sure you have that installed and functioning OK..?

Hi, Me again... Cheers, but I have real player, too (and that wouldn't explain the blank web page). I don't wish to sound, negative, uncledave, but thanks for your suggestions....Don't suppose you have any more? (keep 'em clean!)

I've heard of the problem before but no idea of a solution unfortunately... If I hear anything I'll give you a shout

Hi, me yet again.... This is a follow up question (poss for uncledave?). I have done some googling and have found a BBC radio homepage which says it is a "frames-free" version as it seems I am not alone in having this problem, which now works. What I really want to know is what does this mean (frames-free) and is there a fix for my pc as it used to work with the proper page. link here www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/index_noframes.shtml

thanks, Jon

I'm not sure how that would solve the problem really, but frames free is pretty much a basic version of the page..

If a page has got frames, it loads multiple pages into one.. if you know what I mean
The frameless page is all one thing...

So the problem could be a problem with browser...? Frameless pages are usually used for simple browsers like the ones on mobile phones nowadays I think.

cheers for your reply, uncledave. It has solved the immediate problem as when I load the frames-free page, then click on a link, it then opens a new page to a particular show. However, as you rightly say, the page is a much simplified version, without the search function I was after to listen to a previous show. Ah well, can't have it all, as they say!
