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.

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. > > IE and Opera are OK. > 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.
