First look - web interface

Here's a first look at the web (cross platform) interface for the TV guide, running as a Java applet in Firefox on Windows. I hope you agree it's pretty close to the native Windows version!


The programme descriptions are deliberately cut short by default to save network data bandwidth, but if you double-click on a programme, the full data is then loaded and cached.

All I need now is a Mac user to test this ;-) Remember you still need a windows PC to serve the website at the moment.

I'll be giving it a go under Linux later to check that it works on that platform, but I'm pretty confident that it'll be fine, seeing as Java support is widespread.
