Looking at your source code, the entire page is made up from javascript.
If i had javascript disabled in my browser I would see nothing!
Try making it user freindly for all browsers!

Many thanks for that...is there any way that I can detect and inform users they need to enable javascript?

Using <noscript> tags you can do this; however, it is a much better idea to make your site accessible to all browsers (even those with Javascript disabled).

Hope this helps.

Very simple example:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=content-type content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Testing</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">

document.write('This is written using Javascript');

</script>

<noscript>
This is seen if Javascript is not enabled in the browser.
</noscript>

</body>
</html>

Hope this helps.
