I'm using ubuntu linux and I can't get the clips to play at all - though they do on the Hooky Mat pages. Also the writing on the site overlaps line on line as can be seen from the screen shot attached.
When I have had problems like this I often go back and re-read and angryish rant from the great Scottish singer Dick Gaughan which I came across when I first started setting up my own site. In someways it is a bit dated (what is Netscape......?) but the underlying argument is solid....finding out how to write in basic html is better than relying on proprietary web writing programs that can actually work against you. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ig/2001JulSep/att-0200/rant.htm Ian Colin wrote: > Strange things happened. > When I tried to play a file in IE, I got a Spybot warning that > something was trying to alter the Quicktime settings and was marked as > "malicious software" (I rarely use Quicktime so it was probably way > out of date but have no idea why it should cause a problem).
