The thing is that it has always worked, and still does work, if the domain name is bypassed (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/electricstuff)- the problem ONLY happens when the site is accessed via the domain name (which is why I posted both links) and subsequent investigation has shown that it only affects domains with Namesweb's Advanced forwarding - this apparently does some frame trickery to hide the real ISP address to make it look like a properly hosted domain.
I've yet to establish any pattern of who it does and doesn't work for, but it is clear that different people are seeing different results.
I'm still trying to chase it with Namesweb, but they say it's working fine for them, so it's hard for them to investigate further.
