 Having said that ... You'd think they'd have tested it against ALL common browsers. Opera is a pain, but it's used by enough people that an ecommerce site would need to work to some degree in it....

But having put so much blood and sweat into the old site, I hate to see standards dropping. I would be fine with it if it worked. On the old site, there was a small feature that relied on Javascript, and there were lots of complaints that it didn't work. So I recoded it. End of problem. I now notice that the new site relies very heavily on Javascript and if the latter is disabled, the whole thing falls apart. Surely any web house worth it's salt will not rely on a feature that is dependant on the client's settings? |

| The more I look at that design, the more I wonder how magico could make such a balls of such a simple site. Perhaps the blue splodges are meant to be some artistic effect that I am too techie to appreciate. And if this is meant to be an online commerce site why is buying so counter-intuitive - placing that buy link at the top where it gets lost when you scroll down is seriously stupid. Did these these people even get some usability testing done on the site? Regards...jmcc |

| Yep. It seems when put through some basic tests, it does fall flat on its ass. It also seems that XHTML and CSS were used for the sake of it. Having said this, it's still a big step up for Magico. Let's hope they keep improving. For the sake of the industry in this country. And Opera is an absolutely w*nk browser. It would be the best browser if other browsers didn't exist; but it's proprietary handling of forms and late AJAX support are a real annoyance. |

| Opera is the best. Opera passes Acid2. How about Firefox and IE? |
