[opensuse] A great mystery lies within
Hi, just my curiosity provokes me to send this to the list. I was trying to investigate a product online, and clicked on the buy button that redirects one to the online store. If I do this in linux, a new browser will open up, but never load. It always stays blank. It does this in Firefox, Opera, Konqueror, and IE6 (IEs4Linux). Eventually it will say service unavailable. The website is: http://whitelightning.net/store.html But, if I open the website in WinXP & IE7 and click on the buy button, the online store will load in a new browser window and one may purchase items from the list. I have tried changing the browser identification to IE6 or 7 on Windows using browser spoofing agents in Firefox and Konqueror on the Opensuse OS, but it didn't help. Just curious, can anyone clue me into why this is happening? Its a new day, and time to learn something new.

Yeah, works here too, on a Windows XP-Pro machine and a Linux machine, both using Firefox 3. Mark, forget what I said about ActiveX. Obviously, it's implemented with Java script. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I just looked at the preferences in Firefox3 in two of the three computers, and java and javascript were already enabled. I tried to open the website in both computers, and it opens right up on that website just now. So go figure, it must have been something with the website. Thanks for the help.

It is one of Murphy's corollaries that if something hasn't been working right for a week or two, the minute you try to show it to a mechanic it automatically fixes itself. Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Mark, I just tried it in 11.0 w/KDE 3.5 and the latest FireFox. It worked perfectly. I'm going to guess that it requires java and javascript to be turned "on."
