Hi, I've uploaded my site, it works fine in Firefox but in IE8, it only shows about 1.5 inches of the top of the website, it just cuts the bottom off. Does anyone have any ideas on how to rectify this ? Yes, I could ask people to use other browsers but the majority of people are browsing on Windows 7 which has IE8 running. Cheers in advance !

...actually I don't have that particular template - but I suggest it has something to do with the way you embed the swf into your HTML e.g...
<frameset cols="100%,*">
<frame frameborder="0" src="http://www.greenfly-uk.com/subfactory/subfactory.htm" name="uk2.net">
<noframes>

...I suggest you use the HTML they are using for the default template - check out the source here:

You can also try adding the following meta tag between the <head> and </head> tags in your html:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

Edit: but, Wolf is right you should probably use the html that comes with the template.

yep, the problem with that is that the site www.subfactory.co.uk is being autoforwarded from www.greenfly-uk.com/subfactory/subfactory.html

not sure what I can do, I had a look at my CP on the hosting site, but can't seem to change much there.
