computer help

[hihosland]

Greetings computer literate folk,

 

I am having trouble viewing Ian Boag's fabulous plain language AVMET site with Firefox.

 

When I load the site with Firefox the blue box where one selects the region for a met report is truncated such that Vic, NSW and Tas are not available.

 

If I use Explorer all is OK.

 

I desire to use Firefox which is my preferred web browser that works AOK for all other sites AFAIK. When Ian loads his site with Firefox it functions Ok for him.

 

Any and all suggestions as to what is happening with my system and how to correct it would be greatly appreciated.

 

best of wishes

Got Firefox, can you send me the web address and I'll have a fiddle.

Australian AVMET

 

to me one of the most useful aviation sites.

 

i don't know if it helps

 

but when Firefox displays a web page it is actually smaller on my screen than when Explorer does so.

 

One of my photos that is 600 pixels wide is displayed 22.5cms wide when displayed by Explorer and 18 cms by Firefox.

 

This relationship applies wether the file is accessed from the web or directly from my hard drive.

 

Since a pixel is a pixel on the screen Firefox must be tossing out pixels in order to

 

get the smaller image.

 

Or am i once again on the wrong track?

To increase your screen size if I am on the right track--Hold the control key down and press the + button and the screen will zoom in

I'd be pleased to discuss a problem that I have with someone familiar with relationships within Microsoft Access.

 

This is for a voluntary organisation

 

many thanks

Can I help at all? I mainly work with SQL but have just done my logbook program using an access database (makes it nice and small to download).

Greetings Shags

 

and many thanks for your offer of DBS assistance.

 

Do you have an e-mail address to which I can send a file with screen shots that hopefully describes my problems?.

 

Many thanks
