Hi, Thanks for all the responses.
The error is present in IE (I'm recreating in 8). This issue does not happen in Firefox. I think I've trapped the error to another web part on the same page (Announcements) which has a lot of HTML pasted in it. Even though this isn't being edited, there is something in that web part that is overriding the size in the page. Interestingly, the size is different based on the site theme. Thanks for the help Cheers, Chris On 20 April 2010 13:40, Daniel Brown <[email protected]> wrote: > You can also download it form > http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=e59c3964-672d-4511-bb3e-2d5e1db91038&displaylang=en(but > this one is for previous versions of IE) > > > On Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 1:06 PM, Paul Turner <[email protected]>wrote: > >> IE 8 has F12, shows the developer toolbar (like firebug but better of >> course) :-) >> >> * >> >> Regards, >> >> >> >> Paul Turner >> Senior Solutions Specialist >> >> M: 0412 748 168 P: 08 8238 0912 F: 08 8234 5966 >> A: 66 Henley Beach Road, Mile End SA 5031 >> E: [email protected] W: >> www.dws.com.au<https://webmail.dws.com.au/owa/UrlBlockedError.aspx> >> >> [image: dws logo] >> ADVANCED BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LTD >> >> This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and are only >> for the use of the person to whom they are addressed.
