Ok I found the problem it was all to do with the resizing and the fact that
the header had a fixed height and overlaid the Menu. Set height to auto and
the problem went away.

Not sure why you think I should be using XHTML as extension, browsers should
be using the DOCTYPE to work out what to do not the extension. What about my
PHP site's.

All the pop-up blockers I have in my browsers allow it. It is something to
do with on and off site. I use Opera as my main browser.

I'm rethinking my resizing, it is necessary. Most site I find I cannot read
at my screen resolution and I use Opera's zoom all the time (it helps to
have a mouse with zoom buttons). But as we roll out more web 2.0 stuff
JavaScript is essential. 

The default font-size works OK fine in 800x600 screens, maybe I should wake
up to the fact that these days the minimum is 1024x768.

Thanks for the feed back.

Regards,
Nic

Hi Nic,
I am not seeing this problem here - FF 2.0.0.4 on Win xp Pro.

I get the popup, too! It looks like your problem is local to your
test setup.  :\

There are some problems that I do see, however:

- If JavaScript is disabled, I get a font size of 8px. That's 
equivalent to a point size of 4pt on my laptop. Almost invisible.

- The popup text displays at 10px - 6pt equivalent here.
That's a bit small for comfort, especially on a complete article.

- You have a file name suffix of .htm so, absent some clever server-
side tricks, browsers "see" HTML. But your DOCTYPE is XHTML 1.1
which is intended to be displayed as XHTML only. I suggest using a 
file name suffix of .xhtml[1] or use XHTML 1.0.

- I'd also suggest using regular links in place of a popup. With the
increasing popularity of popup blockers, visitors are likely to have
problems with accessing the articles.

But Opera has a built-in popup blocker. The Google toolbar adds
one to IE.

I am also getting the same teensy text with JS turned off.
(FWIW - I usually turn off JS when visiting sites unknown.)

[1] But note that IE (alone) can't handle such files.

Cordially,
David
