I don't have knowledge, but in so far as my knowledge goes, I've done a bit of furkling. Here, the menus on the left show briefly on loading, but are then overwritten by a blank pane. Looking at the source, (F8) it seems to teem with JavaScript indeed; StrongED reports "79 hits on 49 lines". I also looked on their FAQ page, on which is: <quote> To enjoy most of our content your browser must also be set to the following options: JavaScript enabled ActiveX enabled (Internet Explorer only) Pop-ups allowed from www.qvcuk.com <unquote> So it looks as if it's a Dark Side only site, and that they have done the dreaded "In the interests of product improvement we reserve the right to foul it up at any time". There is a feedback option on the page, which of course doesn't work, and also a Contact Us option at the bottom, which does, but I fear that trying to persuade them that they've sinned might activate the GM again :-) Some sites have a "mobile" option, which sometimes works with NetSurf, but I can't see such a one there.
