Hi, Hope this is the right forum to ask in.

Anyway in IE I go to this site and I click on computing on the left hand
menu and it takes from about 6 to 15 seconds to open the submenu.
I then click on "desktop PC's" and it takes 14 seconds to open that
menu.
(normally about 14 seconds for the first menu, I guess I just 'got
lucky'
last time when it opened in a *mere* 6 seconds.

However I then had the bright idea of trying a different browser,
Mozilla
Firefox and I got much better results. It took only about 2-3 seconds to
open
each menu, not lightening fast I admit but atleast useable unlike the
unbearable
slow Internet Explorer operation.

Most likely the site has a slow server and the browsers are using cached
data differently.


Not sure about that, my PC is at 100% CPU during the wait.



Actually futher investigation reveals it may not just java script or the
bits
which I think are javascript which runs slow (I onlly though it was
javescript
because it said 'javascript void()' or similar in the bottom barof the
browser
which indicates what it is doing so that maybe a red herring, it now
seems
IE may just be slower at eveything.

It indicates only that whoever coded the page is clueless. It doesn't
work at all if JavaScript is disabled.

So its a pretty simple problem really ;O) no doubt you wise owls can
sort it
out ;;O)

No, the problems are many and varied - attempting to validate the HTML
generates hundreds of errors. Many are trivial, but some aren't:

'Line 1794 column 95: element "SPACER" undefined"
...=122 class=wh-level1BottomGapspacer/td/tr'


Send them an e-mail describing how crap you found the site and that you
were going to purchase 100 PCs from them - but since their site shows
them to be technical idiots you'll now go elsewhere.

I am actually going to the store to try and get a refund of an item on
My reciept which I didn't want (product warrenty), I will also have
to return another TV to them which was faulty out of the box.

I was actually going to buy a PC from them but obviously now thats
a worrying though.
Unfortunately they have a virtual monoloply in such good in the UK
so they can staff themselves with idiots and crooks.
Hopefull someone will burn down all their stores someday.
