I will take a look at the font sizes but just for the minute I have
gone back to
http://www.micro-active.com/index.php
which is seen by W3C HTML Checker as HTML 4.01 Strict and sees no
errors.
But if I add a line such as
error_reporting(E_ALL);
I then get loads of errors in the Checker.
Plus in the normal browser window I see "undefined constant firsttime"
line 5
see
http://www.micro-active.com/index2.php
