Steven,
I was just browsing the digest and have noticed your questions, and 
thought I'd mention the problem I've noticed. I'm using IE6 on WinXP 
and its only a cursory observatioin but definately affects site 
usability. I am using resolution 1024 width.

When I clicked your icon for enlarging text the screen width shot out 
by a large distance. The page became more like 1200 width or more. Is 
this intentional? You could consider keeping the fixed width and just 
increasing the font size for this, which although it makes the 
proportions of the page alter still maintains the usability required.
My apologies. Something I hadn't got around to wiring up properly. It 
should work now OK. Thanks for the reminder.

Hi Hugh

resolution 1024 width.

alter still maintains the usability required.

Anyway only a small thing, but I thought it deserved comment. The inclusion 
of it is a very good idea though as I like sites that make it easier for me 
to do things without expecting me to go into menus. cool.
