Although the technologies involved with the making of this site would suggest we could cater for all browsers, there are certain things you need to know.

This site has been designed to be viewed using a JavaScript and cookie enabled browser running on a PC and due to the many differences between all the browsers on the market and due to the fact that this cart uses advanced JavaScripts to make it work, I've taken the decision to cater ONLY for the Microsoft Internet Explorer latest browsers.

Over 95% of the people viewing my sites over the past few years have all been using an IE version 4 and above, therefore, if you wish to see this site as it was intended, please click here and download the latest Microsoft Internet Explorer browser.

The reason you've been stopped on this page is because Windows XP SP2 doesn't allow the redirection of a page without direct user input. I wanted to detect if you were using Internet Explorer, which you are and then I wanted to direct you to the Welcome Page, but it won't let me. So rather than you being stopped on a page where all you can do is close the browser, i.e. the page that displays to those users who are not using Internet Explorer, instead, I wanted to let you know about the problems you may encounter before you encounter them.

I started the creation of this site long before Service Pack 2 was available, in fact before even Windows XP was released and now, the enhanced security features built into Windows XP SP2 stops any scripts from running that are not the result of direct user input.

For example: When viewing the pictures on this site, you click on a thumbnail and my script first collects the link information and builds a web page with the picture embedded into it. If the picture is not available, I've also built in a feature for letting me know that it's missing.

All this information is created before I open the window to display the picture. The result in Windows XP SP2 is that the window may be stopped from opening and you are alerted by the Information Bar that it has been blocked. When you click on the options for this you can allow this blocked code to run and you get to see the picture.

The JavaScripts I use on this site enable dynamic features to work, like product searching and site navigation. Some of these scripts also constantly monitor the state of my site to make sure you get the best browsing experience possible and can alert me to a problem if one occurs.

So the bottom line is this:

Viewing this site using Windows XP SP2 does still work, but - and it's a big BUT: You may be constantly asked if you want to run blocked code. I DO NOT use ActiveX controls because in earlier versions of Internet Explorer, this would need for you to allow or disallow ActiveX content to run and I didn't want to have a site that needed your constant input. However, with Service Pack 2, it seems I am left with no choice.

So if you was going to look at this site but am as frustrated as I am for making you read this, then please accept my apologies now and close this browser. If, however, you are willing to put up with the possible added security alerts and code blocking that requires your input, then you can enter by clicking the button below. If you are unsure or don't want to risk it, then try viewing this site using a computer that is not SP2 enabled, it works brilliantly!

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
