That's why I also suggested Opera, that can often get into sites that Safari and FF fail with. However, I see you've sorted it now. -- Andy Hewitt <http://web.me.com/andrewhewitt1/>

Yup, that will make you feel better alright. But it will have no impact on the coffee-drinking, unionized govt clerks slsouched in front of the too expensive, too large monitors your tax dollars funded while surfing the web. They are counting down the months and years to their overstuffed pension payments for the rest of their sorry days. Their bosses-- the inept bureaucrats you voted into office-- are sitting there too sucking down taxpayer-funded double grande mocha lattes and cappuccinos all the while looking for other ways to stick to the citizenry and further line their own pockets and those of their "supporters."

What's Safari?” “It's a Web browser. We have to make sure the page works with Safari on Mac.” “How do I do that?” “The user agent header—if it says Mac and doesn't say Safari, then it shouldn't work.” (I have, no joke, fixed bugs by removing code for which the only purpose I could imagine was to prevent something not mentioned in the requirements). -- Wes Groleau Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before ... He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. -- Kurt Vonnegut

Or perhaps, since it worked well with an earlier Webkit based browser, you might like to try another Webkit based browser like OmniWeb which is now free. You could also try Google Chrome, too. -- Plain Bread alone for e-mail, thanks. The rest gets trashed. |
