Lonan3 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Certainly is. Go to residents section and click on the Tynwald.org link and you get: External Site Disclaimer The link you are about to follow will take you to a site not maintained or endorsed by the Isle of Man Government. The Isle of Man Government accepts no responsibility for the accuracy or currency of information provided on external sites. http://www.gov.im/disclaim/TynwaldDisclaim.html Then you click on that and get: The link you are about to follow will take you to the Tynwald Parliamentary site, which is not maintained by the Isle of Man Government. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Click below to link to the Tynwald Parliamentary site: http://www.tynwald.org.im -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- They really don't seem to want us to go there, do they?

Ripsaw Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 You'd think an e-Island would use CSS that didn't look sloppy in Firefox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckett Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I have to say it looks bloody AWFUL!!!!! They should spend the money on some e-Government tools, like tax returns, rather than new designs. Moreover, shouldn't they have waited for our new 'brand'? If we ever find out wtf it is mind... BTW: http://www.gov.im/residents/ Link to Tynwald goes straight there for me without any warning or interuption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ean Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 You'd think an e-Island would use CSS that didn't look sloppy in Firefox Turns out okay in FF for me. What page are you talking about, i've clicked through in a fair few links and not seen anything wrong with the design. Looks alright to me, didn't use the old site much though so can't really compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Not getting any external link warnings here either in FF. I do however get FF crashing on me everytime I click a link from here, especially those Google video links! Most annoying, as I've usually got 4 or 5 tabs on the go and have to re-load them all and in some cases, re-enter login details - MEH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks alright to me, didn't use the old site much though so can't really compare. It's silly little things. A couple of pages that I viewed at work had images hanging over the footer or text was running off the page. They look fine here at home in IE. I must admit that the new pages load a heck of a lot faster now, handy for us poor souls on dial up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Big improvement and renders well in both IE and FF. Presumably this is another PDMS job ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxmedia Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Not sure who provided the street maps but they seem to have turned some footpaths into roads. That might be OK for the 4x4's but not me in my mini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckett Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Looks like e-Government is on the way at least. Project Jupiter... http://www.manxradio.com/readItem.aspx?stI...03&stCT=General "The Isle of Man Government has redesigned the look and feel of its website (www.gov.im), to prepare for the future development of its online services. New features include a new look home page, with themes based around the 'Resident', 'Business' and 'Visitor' pages. There is also a new local 'Events' service, allowing visitors to search for activities throughout the Isle of Man Government, which will be updated on a daily basis. Last year there were over 4 million visitors to the website, which has over 10,000 pages of content. The new design marks the start of work to deliver online services initiated through the JUPITER Project." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see what you mean about the pages hanging over a bit like here : http://www.gov.im/infocentre/intmap.xml But overall a good, clear site and is very easy to navigate.

germann Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Looks like a copy of bbc.co.uk with its tabbed feature. Don't like the "USEFUL LINKS" text. The two 'L's are too close together so it looks like "USEFULL" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
