I just checked http://buypower.vauxhall.co.uk/trafficnet/. Actually, it's not asking for DirectX. It needs a plugin to view mime-type: application/x-director. Apparently, the site has information created with Macromedia's Director Shockwave Studio. Unfortunately, there is no plugin available for that in Linux. I would think that's why the site is not viewable. Rick On Tue, 2003-01-14 at 10:13, PL O'Smith wrote:
Just before this site asked for Shockwave, I got a quick window asking for DirectX also. Since only windoze does DirectX, I would suspect that to be the problem on the Linux side, more than Shockwave. I never have a problem with Shockwave sites in Konq or Mozilla, so my guess is these guys need to fix their site! Having a windows only site these days is just being out of touch with reality. Of course, the UK seems to only slowly be moving away from such things as M$ has had them (UK government) in their grip for a while now.
