Using the Site

Browsers

We have extensively tested the new-look breakingnews.ie in the most popular browsers to try to ensure it looks as consistent as possible in all browsers.

Every site will show differences in how it displays content, depending on the browser being used to look at it - the trick is to try to minimise these differences so that readers have a consistent experience.

You may see minor changes in how the site looks depending on the browser you are using (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari etc) and depending on the version of that browser. These browsers may also display content differently depending on the operating system they are installed on, ie Windows, Macintosh or other.
For example, the modules (or content boxes) of the site look slightly more closely aligned in Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8 beta (available here) than in Internet Explorer 5.5.

Please feel free to send us feedback on your experience of the site here.

Video and audio player

Click on the red buttons ‘Ireland’, ‘Sports’ or ‘Entertainment’ above the player to see a playlist of all clips in each section.

Sports statistics

We have laid out our sports statistics in a system of lists so that you can choose between all the options to see only the statistics that interest you.

For example, if you wish to see the latest eircom League results, please click on ‘EIRCOM LEAGUE’ in the results section of the statistics page. You will see a list drop down with the information you require.
