From MO - this worked for me!

We are currently in the process of updating our website, and as such
it could be that your PC is attempting to access a cached version of
the page.

Please can I ask you to clear the cache, and advise whether this
resolves the issue.

For Chrome Version 1-9

Once your browser is open, select the Tools menu (the wrench in the
upper-right corner) and select Options (Preferences on Mac).

On the Under the Hood tab, click the Clear Browsing data... button.

Select the Empty the cache check-box.

You can also choose the period of time you wish to delete cached
information using the Clear data from this period dropdown menu.

Click the Clear Browsing Data button.

For Chrome Version 10+

Once your browser is open, select the Wrench icon (the settings menu,
located in the upper-right corner) then, Tools, and Clear Browsing
Data.... You can also access the Delete Browsing History window by
pressing Ctrl-Shift-Delete

Select the Empty the cache check-box. Uncheck everything else to avoid
deleting data unintentionally.

In the dropdown menu, select the beginning of time.

Click the Clear Browsing Data button.

I had problems lately in IE9 as well as Chrome. Removing all temporary
internet files seemed to clear it, but it might have been coincidence.
Everything fine now, even the weather's quite nice, bright & benign.

Shouldn't be provided the web "designers" stick to standards and
don't try to be "clever". It's the lower half of the new header
section that doesn't render properly in my browser. They are being
"clever" with javascript to do the mouse over drop down menu thingy.

Have you cleared your browser cache? It is possible that you are using a
cached style sheet, and style sheets are one of the things that changed...

As I said, they *have* stuck to the standards. If you have any doubts,

Doesn't pass, at least:

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/radar/index.html

Doesn't, "Line 672, Column 240: end tag for element "IFRAME" which is
not open"

The javascript isn't checked either only the HTML markup.

Why do they need javascript to do the mouseover drop down menu? They
can be implemented in standards complient HTML without javascript.
Indeed the mouse over drop down menus still work if you turn off
javascript so the javascript really isn't required at all. Seems that
it is only there to inflate the egos of the web "designers" and to
give them more work so they appear "busy" thus justifying their
jobs. Or to give the users a "deep web experience" I don't want a
fing "experience" when I visit the meto website, I want *information*
presented without tons of bells and whistles that just slow down
access to the wanted information. If I want an "experience" I'll jump
off a bridge with a large rubber band attached to my ankles.

Well put Dave. Much of the web is becoming like this and increasingly I'm turning to mobile versions of sites
for instant loading and no nonsense info.

Thirded (if there is such a word).

Give us the info without the piffle. And one of the Golden Rules
applies - the more fancy stuff you have, the more there is to go wrong.
And I would rather my taxes went to provide a public information site
rather than to fill the coffers of a web design agency.

Look across the pond for how it should be done - the various NOAA sites
amngst others. Over there, people's lives depend on weather information
being delivered promptly and simply so there is maximum access to it.
