Hi All
I just tried the preraphaelites.org website with an Asus Eee 900 with
eeebuntu 3.0 (a tweak of Ubuntu Linux 9.04) using Firefox 3.0.11.
It works just the same as Firefox on Windows XP SP3 and Firefox 3.0
until one tries to use the zooming viewer.
The viewer page does not work , but instead presents a "Get Microsoft
Silverlight" button, which upon being selected, sends one to the
Microsoft Silverlight website.
This then gives a "Microsoft Silverlight may not be supported on your
computer's hardware or operating system" message, which is nice.
Thus I would give the site full marks for presenting what is a
marvellous collection, but take a bit off for not using a cross platform
technology for the zooming viewer.
