*BUMP* for different timezones.

You couldn't post the whole story up here as zip or something could you? This flavour of IE doesn't like the javascript on your site so I can't get to the rest of the story. If it might help here's the error I get

Line:: 71
Character: 5
Error: 'null' is null or not an object
Code: 0
URL: http://www.dogscoff.co.uk/fiction/scifimenu.htm

Can't do anything about this browser it's locked down by the resident IT monkeys so if the problems at this end I'm stuck with it

EL_PHil: That's my fault. I'm currently trying to fix the site so that it works properly with non-IE browsers, and in doing so have broken it for IE>

I'll switch it back to the old code (Wasn't getting anywere anyway). Try again.

EDIT: Working again (as well as it ever did, anyway.)
If you (or anyone) ever have problems with it, just go to http://www.dogscoff.co.uk/fiction/stories and pick out the story files one by one.

Ahh cheers for that.

Well there goes a big chunk of my spare time while I get up to date!

Do you have php support on your server? It would be easy to write a few php functions to do what you are wanting and avoid javascript entirely.

No idea. It's hosted by my isp, www.plus.net

Define "easy". If "easy"="easy for Fyron" then yes, I don't doubt it. However if "easy"="easy for poor, stoopid old dogscoff" then the answer might be somewhat different.

You can test php functionality by creating a file named "test.php", adding the following code to it, and uploading it to the server:

Code:

---

<?php

$hello = "Hello ";

$ds = "Dogscoff.";

echo $hello.$ds;

?>

---

The output should look like this page.
