I've had a couple resolved myself for ->bugs I've submitted. Well, it's actually that 9.9995% of the time the people who make the site fail to test it with Mozilla or Netscape 6/7. It's not that it doesn't work. They figure if they get the often over quoted 95% of the "planet" that's using IE and they test it slightly with Netscape 4.x for the other perceived .0001% of the users then they are doing fine. This is one of the main reasons I am inflexible when it comes to this. I do not even think Konqueror should give the option to change the user agent string. I think that if users bitched to these institutions that they would have to change their policy. A good example of this shite behavior is Capital One. When you go to netscape.com you get pelted with ads for this lazy company but they refuse to let one use the newest version of Netscape. They even go so far as to post in their error page that Mozilla and Netscape 6/7 are not capable of doing SSL connections. When I called them about it and badgered them a bit they actually told me the truth. They had not tested anything accept Netscape 4.x and didn't actually know if their site would work ..it does BTW.. I changed the user agent sting for Mozilla to IE as a test and proved it worked. This was part of the reason they admitted their lazy behavior to me. They said they were going to test it and approve gecko based browsers but as of a month ago they haven't done a damn thing. The first time I called them on this was 19 months ago. I figured I would let my wallet do the talking, I recently transfered both of the balances on my Capital One cards to another single card and canceled the Capital One cards. They asked me for a reason. And I told them I didn't trust them as far as anything financial was concerned if they wanted me to use a 7 year old archaic browser and that they were to lazy to test something more modern. I would say instead of complaining to the Mozilla coders about their browser...I would complain to your financial institutions about their policies. Mozilla is a fully capable modern browser..some of these companies and their web developers are not. ;) /end rant -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe..
