I can't get you guys' website to work on Safari. Is this normal? Can I fix it?

I just tried it through Safari and it didn't work for me either.
In the meantime I'd recommend using firefox as an alternative browser and I'll pass it on to someone more tech-savvy.

I don't have safari to test on, and I'm not in solfed, but I took a quick look.

The page doesn't validate too badly, so it looks like the inline javascript would be causing the problem

function MM_preloadImages()

This looks completely pointless to me, in addition to being a bit complex, so I'd just kill it, and if something breaks, fix that. Looks like it might be doing the rollover images in your menu (maybe) - in which case you can do that much better with css, and probably wouldn't miss them anyway.

Hi, There's is problem with the hosting on our sites at the moment. Concerning the SF websites on the Safari browser, to be honest this wasn't tested, it was tested on konqueror, epiphany, firefox/iceweasel, internet explorer (5.5 to 7), etc. . . but not safari. As mentioned we are working on new websites, so we're not likely to spend much effort on the templates of the current websites (unless if this can be sorted out relatively easily, I'll look into it). Concerning the javascript on the navigation bar this will also get replaced when the new sites are done. The AF contact details will be updated also. Ta, Jacque

The solfed websight is working in safari now (when it loads), before the screen width was messed up, so it was like 3 times wider then it should have been.

There was an error in the stylesheet for short time which was corrected. Thanks for letting us know. If there any other errors or anyone has any suggestions etc while we're planning the new websites please contact www@solfed.org.uk for our websites commission.
