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 :) 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.

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 Soooo, Is Super Mario Galaxy good then?

It's a potential problem <em>any</em> 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".

I don’t own a Wii.

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 stuff Olly.

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 Interesting you should write about accessibility, I recently went for a job interview in Bristol for a company that does a lot with it.
