My first PICAXE Project - 8-input video switcher

[John O]

This is my first attempt with a PICAXE. The software could definitely do with improving but it does work

Well done. Looks great. Cool website

Excellent project description. Page rendering goes 'funny' for me using Firefox 2, on page 4, from "Special Parts".

The page rendering is fine for me.

Nice project and an excellent writeup! You've done a very neat job fitting it all into that case - well done.

Seems to be a missing </ul> problem ( that's how it looks rendered to me ). I guess it depends on the browser and whether it can make a smart-guess and silently fix it. Obviously mine cannot!

How is it now ?

Much better. Only the "Special Parts" is rendering wrongly. The next paragraph to the end is now okay.

 

[John O]

Very odd. I assume the black background is your choosing?

This is what I see if FF 3.6 and in IE8 ... http://vwlowen.co.uk/temp/picaxe.jpg

Not to worry. I'm sure you get the jist

Yes, black backgound is my preference, I find it much easier on my eyes - and I can claim it's energy efficient ( though I know that's no longer true with most LCD )

Not sure why the <li> tags aren't rendering. There's nothing in that bit of HTML I can see which is wrong, so I'd say a FF 2 bug.

 

[John O]

The only thing I can think is FF2 doesn't like the <li> tags when they're wrapping round the image with the <img align="left".. tag. It would probably feel happier with a table.
