Hi,
Thanks for responding. I’m a complete novice at site-building, so your help is greatly appreciated.
It’s reassuring that you didn’t see any problems using IEtab, but for me the mystery deepens.
I used IETab on Chrome and IE7 worked fine, but IE8 showed the same problem – no dots.
So I dug out an old laptop running XP/IE8 and tried that. Same problem using the IE8 browser, but when I tried Chrome/IETab, all was fine.
So I tried the wife’s laptop running Vista/IE9. Everything working fine, including the Chrome/IETab.
I don’t have a network at home, so the only thing these computers have in common is the router.
Tomorrow I’m popping round to see a friend who’s using XP/IE8 to see if that works. How deep does this rabbit-hole go . . .
Would you be so kind as to try out my site – harptrees.com – it’s still under construction but the homepage is published.
Thanks again for your help and for the heads-up on IETab, that’s a useful bit of kit.
