These miniscule icons on web pages have been mentioned on a number

occasions in various newsgroups - I think it is a bug in Netsurf, rather
than a problem with this particular site.
Matthew Somerville (developer of traintimes.org.uk, as mentioned in
Archive 21:5 p30) has replied to the message i copied to him and suggests
i copy it to the list:
-----
>>> I have been trying to look up trains from London Waterloo
to Hampton
>>> Court next Saturday morning
Here's a direct URL for that, to bypass any problems with the form:
http://traintimes.org.uk/London_Waterloo/Hampton_Court/09:00/Saturday

Just tried it with NetSurf 1.2
Not pretty. The boxes to enter the start and end are approx 2mm wide,
just enough to get the cursor into, and don't grow when you type text.
I'm sorry to hear that; as far as I'm aware, I'm doing nothing special or
not standard. The width of all elements is set to "auto" to override any
possible fixed width-isms from the original; I guess it's possible this is
somehow causing problems with Netsurf. If someone can investigate and work
it out, or put me in touch with anyone at Netsurf who'd be interested in
helping, I'm happy to bug test or change things in order to get it working
properly.

i'll copy it to the Netsurf team too.
