Was it literally 10 minutes? Would you be kind enough to test again for us
please, now we are W3C certified.
Here is the link to our site: http://tinyurl.com/35mwxr
Since yours and the 1 other message reporting an issue that the others did
not have, we have tested on 6 other random machines, running XP or Vista and
various flavours of Firefox with JS *on*. Without exception *all* load the
page in 2-8 seconds via Broadband 2Mb/s and no problems whatsoever. This
follows the experience of users of the site, and 1.5 years past testing on
Firefox.

Google Adwords not showing is a symptom of having JS disabled. To save us
hours more work in case it was off, please check again that JS is on when
you test.

That is where the JS streetscape and map go, hence JS sounds disabled.
There is a clear <noscript> message to say to enable it, and it is also
listed in the FAQ as being required.

Done. Now W3C validated. Feels better.

We tried this but it caused us many problems with different margin
formatting in different browsers. Transitional works, so makes sense to
use.

Please check JS is on.
If not, are you running ad blocking software? If so we assume it is easy to
temporarily not enable it, and try the link again? Thanks.

It is very hard to fix an issue which we cannot recreate on any broadband PC
in Europe and which nobody has reported. Hopefully you are able to help us
as you have reported it. Thanks for your assistance.
