Yeah, I get that info as well, even using Netscape 7.1. The website appears
orientated towards Microsoft's Internet Exploder. Their designer appears to
be unaware that not all browsers are created equal. I use Smart Explorer when
I want to view pages geared towards u$oft's IE.

I prefer crazy browser for when I have to use ie.
http://www.crazybrowser.com/
basically a front end for ie that allows tabbed browsing.
The tenrod site still gives errors.
Error Occurred While Processing Request
Error Diagnostic Information
An error occurred while evaluating the expression:
#cboGetCat#
Error near line 12, column 18.
Error resolving parameter CBOGETCAT
ColdFusion was unable to determine the value of the parameter. This problem is very likely due to the fact that either:
You have misspelled the parameter name, or
You have not specified a QUERY attribute for a CFOUTPUT, CFMAIL, or CFTABLE tag.
The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of (#cboGetCat#), occupying document position (12:17) to (12:27).
Getting back to your original query, you could assemble a large display using
a large number of individual rectangular LEDs, or even LEDs mounted in plastic
similar to Jaycar's LED bar graph display (ZD-1702). It certainly would be
cheaper, however it would also give you the option of selecting high brightness
LEDs.
Thought of using individual leds. Maybe for another display but for this one ,
avoiding having to do circuit boards.
Using one of the futurlec control boards and soldering some connectors
on to the prototype area.
The matrix led modules would be easier than using individual leds.
Its for a largish clock display, 6 digit.
This time I'm just going to go with
some of the kingbright SA50's or similar.
Once I've finished this one, may do a board using surface mount leds for
clock display / message board.
Found out that for the world cup, Foxtel(one of their contractors) bought the onscreen display game timers
from overseas because they claimed they couldn't find anyone in Australia capable of making them.
Thanks
