I'll understand if Ted bins this but ........

if you go to www.sprintsales.co.uk/directions.php
do the maps download?

If they don't can you let me know what systems you're running on....

Cheers

Map, copyright notice and text (directions) appear on Mozilla 1.4 on Linux.

On Konqueror however, only the maps appear, but no characters at all. The page also seems to be at least 4000px wide (the outlined background-image "backdrop.gif" appears 25 times in a line.)

Mozilla works fine, but Konqueror doesn't, although Mozilla's console detected the error (which doesn't need to have anything to do with Konqueror's display).

Generally, all browsers display valid html correctly; but when there are issues, it has mostly to do with
a) user agent recognition, or
b) html which is optimized on certain browsers, and hence exclude others, or
c) the code is newer than the browser

Dave, it looks like this:


sorry for the big pic, but it's research

Cheers guys

I'm just puzzled why some of our customers insist that they cant download the maps, when they're using the same system as us (NT, XP, IE6)

Very odd

Just a thought, but for us slow old modem users the maps do take some time to appear, especially with everything else all on the one page. Maybe they've just not been waiting long enough to see them.

Perhaps just having links on the main page with seperate pages for the maps might help.
