109773 - censos2001.es - blocks mozilla, javascript problems

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: Spanish, defect, P3)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5+) Gecko/20011029
BuildID:    2001103012

The first problem is that the javascript on the home page doesn't work with mozilla.
Manually entering the url
https://www.censos2001.es/inicio/bienvenida.jsp
you can enter the site, but then trying to enter data (by clicking on a --badly
rendered-- button on the left) takes you to a page that
says that the site only works with IE5:

in spanish
https://www.censos2001.es/inicio/netscape.jsp?idioma=0

in english
https://www.censos2001.es/inicio/netscape.jsp?idioma=6
(warning, wear your **** glasses or you eyes will hurt)

Confirming.  The javascript part is because of the following

function sigueIdioma(){
	if (ie4){
/* ### SNIP #### IE CODE ### */
	}
	else{
		document.idioma.document.idioma.action= "/inicio/bienvenida.jsp";
		document.idioma.document.idioma.submit();
	}
}

document.foo doesn't work in NS6 or Mozilla.  but really -- why do they even
need JavaScript at all?  They really should just do <form
action="/inicio/beinvenida.jsp"> and have the Go button be an <input type="image">

Here's the deny text en espanol:
=============
Estos requistos técnicos han implicado, en la práctica, la necesidad de usar
Internet Explorer 5.0 + como navegador en la cumplimentación del Censo por Internet.

De acuerdo con todo ello, con el navegador que usted está usando actualmente, no
resulta posible dicha cumplimentación.

Nos disculpamos por las molestias que esto pueda acarrear.

It's possible that the site is no longer operative since data gathering for the
census has ended.
