Hello all.

We've just release our new design and as it uses extensive DHTML and
javascript we've been testing on just about every browser I could get my
hands on, and even though there are a few subtle differences in versions
(mainly between IE4 & IE5) I thought we had it cracked.  The script detects
older browsers (server side) and redirects older browsers to a non DHTML
version.

But as normal, we did a demonstration at a local school, and opps they were
using the very first release of IE4 and it worked but didn't look to good.

So if you could have a look as see if it's ok with your browser and let me
know.  Also what do you think?  Can you navigate through the site ok (there
is well over 700 pages) and the normal stuff.  Also if anyone has a chance
could they look at the map (link on home page) as we are having trouble
testing it (firewall, and other stupid network problems).  The maps use GIS
information, and aerial photos, we are still waiting for copyright info
before we can use the Ordinance Survey data (the detailed maps)

A quick overview of the technology used to do the site :- 

On site Compaq Windows NT Server, 384Mb Memory, 3*9.4Gb Ultra Wide SCSI
drives in a raid array.
Uses MS Access, MS SQL Server to hold all content  (SQL Server held on
separate server with same speck)
Dedicated 2Mb connection to internet.
Uses ASP, and OLE DB to connect to Databases
Extensive use of JavaScript, DHTML
GIS data, displayed using MapXtreme 
And other things I can't think off!

Thanks John
