If I look here http://www.identit.ca/events.html using IE7 everything
looks fine.

If I go to the same page using Firefox 3.0.4 the dark grey bar (at the
bottom in IE7 - containing Home Services About Us Contact Us) is
positioned about three-quarters of the way down my screen - positioned
just above Lifecycle Manager 2007 on the left hand side menu.

Same here. It's trashed in Firefox3. The bar is located so that
"Microsoft Services" is smack-dab in the middle of it.

Wow! Thanks for posting Jim!

Much appreciate your comment. Maybe others here will take this matter
seriously now. My sending of a screenshot should help emphasise the
point.

All is not always as it seems at first sight! ;)

Cheers!

If you do NOT see what I see, I'd be grateful if you would tell me. I'm
more than happy to re-install Firefox or even XP if necessary.

Thanks for your post.

Dave

I get the same thing you do.

For anyone ........ 'uncertain' of what to do to see my screenshot sent
at 0919GMT

Highlight all three messages so that they all have a blue background.
(use shift key and mouse pointer)
Right click within the blue area. In the menu which appears, click on
'Combine and Decode ...'
A pop-up window entitled 'Order for decoding' should appear
(self-explanatory).

When you click OK a new message window should appear showing the
attachment as a 98.9 KB GIF file.

Open this file ........ and the screenshot should then be visible!

Now I see what you are referring to. It's also off on the clients page. It
appears to be correct on any pages they have completed with text and not
displaying correctly on pages where they have not filled in the information
for the page yet. It's poor browser testing on their part, but hardly worth
asking someone to physically go to their place of business to check up on
them.

Just what exactly do you think is wrong with that website? They look
identical to me in IE7 and in Firefox 3.0.4. No errors come up in either
browser either. If you get an error, you need to look into your own
system and not use that to start another one of your wild goose chases.

When I took the screenshot, it was removed. I was surprised by that
too.

I just did a test too - took a screenshot with the mouse pointer visible
on screen.

Pasted into Paint - there it was gone!

I wonder if one of the gurus here will be able to explain why - I have a
feeling that it's going to be a simple/basic reason. Just a hunch! :)

Thanks Andrew - there's something new to learn every day!

I can solve THAT problem easily enough: Google "Gadwin Printscreen"


Thank you for your suggestion 'The Max'

Well - I'll try anything once (twice or more, even!)

I've played with this programme in the past so have downloaded and
installed Gadwin Printscreen. I noticed that there is a tick-box to
select 'Capture Mouse Cursor'.

Notwithstanding my positive selection of same, when I pasted the
collected Screenshot into Paint - there was still NO mouse pointer
visible.

There is probably a setting somewhere that needs to be changed. Any
ideas most welcome.

It's very refreshing for you to admit that you were less 'eagle-eyed'
than this old fella, Casual Observer'! <g>

I didn't wish to complicate matters by mentioning other pages displaying
incorrectly, but you are quite right.

It is not so much the web page errors which bother me. It is the
attitude of the individuals concerned. They purport to be IT
professionals yet they apparently failed to test their own web pages.
When I mentioned it, instead of saying "Crikey, we've slipped up there -
better fix it! Thanks Dave" they chose to slight me instead. Bad form
IMO!

The operation *may* be legitimate - there's no way for me to know.
However, Andrew Taylor is real, an Englishman like me but just happens
to live in Torronto.

It's just possible that a physical check could prevent another 9/11. Do
you still maintain that it's not worth caring about?

It's not worth worrying about. It's their website. If they don't want to
correct the problems with it, that's their perogative. I don't know how you
feel you can connect a website that doesn't display the same in two
different browsers to 9/11. Different browsers can often render objects
differently depending on the html standards they adhere too.

I'm not worried, 'Casual Observer' ......... but I have just been
watching an item on TV about the war in Afghanistan in which we have had
many soldiers killed and many more injured. This war is for real
.......... and there *is* an enemy; some may be close by, anywhere in the
world.

On the Internet there is absolutely no way of being certain whether folk
are friend or foe. Bad guys make mistakes - always. It's simply a case
of picking up the clues!

PS Always be wary if someone refuses to answer simple and
straight-forward questions - in real life as well as here! ;)

Many questions you ask, challenges really, are NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!

Why do you keep winking at people - mostly male? Do you consider
yourself a pickup artist? Yes or No?

A simple question, straight forward and to the point. If you don't
answer it you "may" be considered a terrorist (by your own standards).

I really worry about YOU, being so unstable and all.

You are quite right about some queries being a subtle attempt to draw
reaction from those I perceive to be hiding something.

You are *wrong* when you say that it's none of my business. SECURITY IS
EVERYONE'S BUSINESS!

Why do you keep winking at people - mostly male?

I'm simply a friendly kind of guy - I wink at ladies too!
Do you consider yourself a pickup artist? Yes or No?
NO

answer it you "may" be considered a terrorist (by your own standards).

Why wouldn't I answer?
I really worry about YOU, being so unstable and all.

It's really comforting to know you care. Thank you! Oh yes .... <wink>
