    Some of the CUK regulars forgot to switch off their webcams?

      It is because they think all of you 'IT bods' are geeks.

        And how can they afford to sponsor the Porsche Carrera Cup 2007 but not afford someone to get their site to work in Firefox?

          Hey BrownIssue. I am one of the developers on Technojobs, what problems are you having with firefox? Have tested on FF in XP, OS X, Ubuntu and all works fine for me. Let me know configuration and will check it out. Plus any specifics on what is broken for you would be really useful.

            BrowneIssue - I didn't used to worry until I realised it has a different meaning without the 'e'!

            The home page had the 'featured recruiters' box right over the 'Find a job' box. That kind of random box placement occurred on every page. I just tried it and now it doesn't.

            Checks desktop... Aha!

            I shall email a screen dump of boxes over boxes to support @ technojobs.co.uk

              Their search engine is broken, I listed my skills and searched with 'any key words' and found 30+ matches but when I save the search it reverts to 'all key words must match' and sticks '+' between all the words so subsequent searches don’t work.

                technojobs - as BI said the body copy, 'find a job' and 'featured jobs' divs overlap the 'featured recruiters' div, with the background img behind those h1s repeating. Set the url to 'no-repeat' in div.normalboxtopblue h1 and similar, and consider floating those elements instead of using relative positioning within a fixed width, centred container.

                The form fields overlap the 'find a job' div, restructure using mozilla hacks.

                And a large amount of text on the site fails the visicheck colour contrast test.

                  Sorry BrowneIssue, will wait until I get home before looking up BrownIssue

                  Nothing serious with the site then

                  Have seen the overlapping divs once or twice and keep meaning to fix.

                  Cheers fgor the fix suggestion realityhack, your cheque is in the post.

                  Never liked the colour myself but inherited the design and no time to fix yet as have a few major bits planned for the site. Fixing the internal searching and how the saved searches is on the list

                  Appreciate the feedback, really helpful. Will be getting a lot more contracts on there as well over the next few months so hope we can help you land the next placement.

                    My mistake, you are floating the elements, but something's breaking, not quite sure without a full review. Oh, and your markup's a mess, get rid of the tables and do the whole thing again using clean code with no formatting properties. You're using deprecated target attributes in your links, there are 3 errors, 406 warnings in your CSS, your pages don't validate as XHTML 1.0 strict, with 47 errors in the XHTML, and logically, the level 1 nav should be h1s, and list elements, not images.
