A Kettle of Fish - Requests

[vix]

How are you with chinchillas? I have two, called Stitch and Chu, and they live for raisins.

I've just had to tell Stitch 'Daddy is not a raisin'.

Any inspiration there?

How about a crazy hamster?
Mine is a wee bit mental, failing that I have other ideas....

Loving the pics so far. Ooooh my crazy goddaughter and her "can I have that in English Auntie Marie" line would be another!

hey ladies and gents - could I please ask you wonderful people a favour? The requests bit of pheebs' site is all but finished, it just needs some testing. I've been doing it all weekend and it's stopped making sense to me. If you have any requests to make, please go to http://akof.sameagain.net/requests.php and submit them there.

If you could also check out the gallery, that'd be ace.

If you come across anything that you think is amiss (the request form doesn't submit asynchronously in IE6 - that's intentional), could you email me at jasper[at]sameagain[dot]net and let me know what's up. As much detail as possible, screenshots if you can be bothered, or you think it'll help.

Please don't post anything in this thread as I don't want to derail it any more

Thankyee

OK - I've played with the requests bit before and it seems to behave similarly to last time so leaving that to 'new blood' for now.

I noticed some wierdness in the 'View info on sketch' scrolling bit in the gallery. Things like the background not repaiting in IE6 and random bitmaps appearing during the scrolling in Firefox. Can't reproduce the one in Firefox (might be cache-related) but I think I've got the one in IE6 down if you want it.

In this thread we are all fans!

I just can't think of a pic I'd want. I'd pay for it over Paypal. Damn me and no imagination.

I had a similar problem with IE6 in that it cached the old stylesheet for ages and the background wasn't repeating properly. The only problem I have with IE6 on that page, which appears to be a rendering thing because no sort of positioning fixes it, is the tiny bit of overlap of the repeating background to the right of the right border. If you've got something you can replicate I'll definitely give it a go, though.

As a self respecting web developer, I realise that IE6 can't be ignored yet (like < IE5.5 is!) but there are some things that are nigh on impossible to fix (especially with the amount of complex javascript that's being used) so as long as user experience isn't hampered I'm ok with inconsistencies between browsers. If I'm honest, I'm surprised it actually works as well as it does! I've added you to MSN so we don't pollute this thread, but if you could grab me the version number of your IE6 and a step-by-step I'd be very interested to see how you broke it!

I didn't spot this thread until I sent you an email following from the OcUK thread.

They really are fantastic

I just thought of a request (after days of thinking)

What about me on PowerBocks?

I'm sure you could come up with a really catchy tagline

Dudes and dudessess... I have only just returned from COrnwall and thus have muchos catching up to do!

Sorting out a few bits and bobs now but will get straight on to requests asap!

WUbbles!
