I have recently upgraded to ADSL, and XP (The first was definitely a
good idea)
When I browse my web site it turns up garbage. I sthis because ADSL is
downloading it too fast - is that possible? Is there a tag to improve
display?

Opera 8.51 superb no probs very fast display
IE 6sp2 No probs
Firefox 1.0.7 The bottom half of the pages garbled
Mozilla 1.7.12 99% of page garbled

If it was just me, I'd use Opera. But I want all of my site visitors to
have a nice visit - first impressions count! It is a B&B site.

Any help out there?

BTW the site is
http://www.pearblossomhouse.com/pear...s/sitemap.html
You could use the index at root, but that's where I keep my counter, and
I'd rather it counted visitors ...
Thanks.

Looks the same to me, Moz 1.7.12 FF 1.0.7 & IE 6.01 on Win2K

A recent mozilla nightly build doesn't display anything except an error:
"The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an
invalid or unsupported form of compression. Please contact the website
owners to inform them of this problem."

moz 1.7.11 shows the garbled mess. The about:cache entry for the page
says it's supposed to be gzipped. I know for a fact that moz usually
handles gzipped files fine, so there is probably something odd or
unusual on your end.

Are you using Apache's mod_gzip, or are you gzipping the files yourself?

Oo er missus ... I'm hosted on Supanames (Apache) - do they gzip? I
don't. How do you read the about:cache ?

The home page of supanames.com is definitely gzipped. moz displays it
just fine, too. But just because their site is gzipped doesn't mean
yours automatically is, too. You should contact them about it.

> How do you read the about:cache ?

In moz/FF type about:cache in the browser location bar. List disk
entries and find the entry for the page or file in question. Click on
the link to the file and it will show more info, including response
headers. They will show if it is gzip encoded.

If you have the web developer toolbar installed, you can get these
response headers from the 'information' menu.

BTW, in the future please don't top-post:

I've chnaged my settings ...

Even if Supanames does gzip my site, how can I get my Mozilla, and more
importantly, my potential visitors' Mozilla to see it properly? Is it
just a question of asking them to "stop it!" ?

PS have you got a URL for the web developer toolbar?

In our last episode, HarveyP <> pronounced

BTW: Good work on not top-posting. Now you need to work on snipping the
irrelevant bits of the reply, as I have done.

I don't know. You have to ask them about it.
