Ladies and Gents, I'm looking to implement some fresh code on the Greyhoundhomer website, however before I go through the pages and do a full update I thought I'd ask if you can take a look at just one page I've updated to see if it displays correctly for you. The change I've made here is to use some web code called CSS to create a box with curvey corners on the main website body and on the left hand menu bar. So I need to know whether your web browser shows the boxes with curvey corners or square. Or whether there's something else going on. The code only works with upto date browsers, and therefore I'm fishing to get a feel for whether I can deploy the code fairly safely without wrecking everyones experience when visiting our site. Upto date browsers include Internet Explorer 9 and the current versions of Firefox, Opera etc. The single page I've changed so far is as follows: www.greyhoundhomer.co.uk/about.htmPlease post your feedback below. My understanding is that Internet Explorer versions 6, 7 and 8 will not show the above page correctly. Thanks!

Displays ok in IE 8 but no curves just straight boxes. Google Chrome displays ok there are curves! To get the explorer version you need to click on the help button on the task bar and select 'About Internet Explorer' it should then tell you what version you are using.

Thanks for testing all, I have held off rolling the new code out though because I need to find a solution to it clashing with another sizeable section of code which displays large pictures of the dogs. That code is called 'Lightbox' and is completely disabled by a line which I need to use to get the curvey corners working. Just for the record that line of code is...
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />
It's used to set \ overide IE9s compatibility settings.
I shall do some Googling to see if I can find a fix for the problem. So for the moment we're back to the old style curvey corners.

I've cracked this little problem quciker than I thought, the fix is that we just need a newer version of the 'lightbox' code, that I now have and have tested and proved it valid. So they'll be a Lightbox code update first followed by the updated CSS to enable curvey corner boxes on upto date web browsers.

Well, after applying the new code to the website and fixing the bugs it in turn created I decided not to deploy the tweaked website. I couldn't get comfortable with the look, so we remain with some older school code for now with boxes and curvy corners the old style way, with small images.
