I love the teletext style - I'm man enough to admit I was close to tears when I saw how similar it was to 'old' Digi. However, there's one small problem I've noticed:

Some of the pages are a different height to the others (i.e., they have an extra line of text). You can see this on the sub pages of page 199, for example. This means that if you have the mouse hovered over the subpage forward, or the page forward button (including on the remote control to the right, even though that is 'outside' the pages), the buttons aren't in the exact same place each time, which is annoying.

In fact, I have done a calculation. Based on an estimated 0.2 seconds mouse repositioning time, and say 30 pages of Digi a day, over the course of 10 years, if uncorrected this error will waste me almost six hours. Six hours that I will never get back. Please investigate.

This was a source of endless agony during construction and testing, but the inescapable fact is this: Computers are rubbish.

Different PCs, different monitors, different browsers, different default settings, choice of bold or normal fonts, and many other exciting variables all combine to make it completely impossible to make the same screen be exactly the same size on any two given PCs at the same time. Several pages of this morning's news section, for example, register as 13 lines on my PC monitor but 14 lines on Mr Nash's Mac monitor.

We've done as much as is in our power to minimise the problem, but it'll likely always be there to a certain extent. We apologise for your wasted six hours of life, but hey, you'd probably only have spent it tormenting badgers or something.

Stu, badgers are cute. I don't torment them. Unless you call dressing them up it tutus tormenting them.

I understand what you're saying (I edit websites myself), and I can see why the text might spill over into another line, and I can see how it's probably unavoidable. However, I'm not so much worried about the text overflowing as much as the effect it has on the remote control.

I reckon the remote control positioning could be fixed. I think the remote control graphic is centred vertically in a cell, the cell height being affected by the height of the TV. Could instead the remote control graphic by aligned to the top of the cell (with a spacer if you want)? That way it wouldn't shift up and down if there were more/fewer lines of text on the left.

It's probably this bit:

You could try changing the valign to "top".

That'll be £5 in web consultancy fees, ta.

Badgers are evil and all full of tuberculosis. It said so on The Archers.

Shhh. They might hear you.

Man do I feel stupid. I've just noticed the customisation options, which allow me to put the remote control up at the top (exactly what I was suggesting before), thus working around the differing screen height problem.

Thanks for listening anyway.

It was a bit difficult to see everything on my 800x600 settings originally, but I made the font one size smaller and now it looks great.

pikachu, i would kiss you if i had any lips.
