So it’s something i’m going to look into a bit more myself now. I have similar experience using my archos to browse the net

CSS can open up some amazing door glad that it is becoming easier for you. Great work.

Flo, I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not. The fact you’re finding CSS easy is either encouraging or very worrying. Not sure which it is yet.

Super Mario Galaxy is a must-have. It’s fantastic :)

Soooo, Is Super Mario Galaxy good then?

XD I’m only just learning how to use CSS (which is dead easy like), sounds terrible Olly, a real pain in the arse. I mean, only one part of the page refreshing! =O

Haha. =] x

I don’t own a Wii.

You should :)

It’s not just an ajax issue, or a zoom problem either. It’s a potential problem any time you use javascript to change some content elsewhere on the page. Low-res users might not see a change that happened “below the fold”.

Interesting stuff Olly. I had one of my first (legitimate) experiences of using the ‘zoom’ function of IE7 the other day (I’m restricted to using the IE browser at work - don’t ask!). The site I was viewing had an image of a road-map (of sorts) but the text was too small to read, even for me with 20/20 vision…I thought: ‘wouldn’t it be useful if I could zoom in on that bit!’…and then I remembered I could - and it really helped. Yes, that might be the only time that ever happens in my life, but it certainly showed me how useful the feature can be.

I don’t know enough about Ajax at the present time to try and think of a work-around for the problem you encountered…sounds interesting though. And I don’t own a Wii.

Interesting you should write about accessibility, I recently went for a job interview in Bristol for a company that does a lot with it. Promptly realised I knew hardly anything about it and assuming that’s why they didn’t want me back :) So it’s something i’m going to look into a bit more myself now. I have similar experience using my archos to browse the net, as I zoom in on that. It’s amazing what you just take for granted. As for resolving it, just give me 5 mins to learn ajax ok :p
