Alexander,

I'm somewhat confused as to your reply as the site displays correctly in 
Windows Explorer and Opera Using 2 different desktop machines, one 
containing only Windows XP (sp2), the other containing Windows XP (sp2) 
and ubuntu 7.04. In addition, the issue also manifests itself on a 
laptop (ASUS) which also contains Windows XP (sp2) and ubuntu 7.04.  So 
I cannot see how it can be a website issue.

Regards,

Bob
