With Javascript on, there is a floating "Front page .... Exhibitions"
bar which bobs up and down when I scroll, returning to a position down
from the top of screen but on top of the text, which scrolls beneath.
This is really annoying. It should either be tied to the top of the
page, under the banner, or to the top of the screen.


It's the 'bling' effect, style rather than subsatance.

So many webpages go for 'effects' and forget that the -=information=-
contained within IS the real purpose.

Thankfully the days of flashing text and rotating colours seem to
behind ... or are they?


As in bad Westerns films, Sir Ryan is shooting anything that moves,
forgetting that not everything that's flying is eatable (Romanian proverb).

The moving menu is there for a reason but because of it he oversees the real
purpose of the page, "the -=information=-" (cannot see the forest for the
trees?)
