157606 - Enthusian timesheets cannot be submitted using NS 7.0 / latest Mozilla build

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[[e-mail] (away - not reading bugmail)]

Enthusian doesn't appear to be fully supporting latest Mozilla builds and NS 7.0
specifically.

Although they allow their page to be navigated and time sheets filled out, the
form cannot be submitted. Even worse, it's not clear at all that the form hasn't
been accepted on the server side.

Enthusian has to either change their website to indicated that newer (unstable)
versions of Mozilla-based browsers are not supported or allow all Mozilla-based
browser greater than version X.x (where X and x has to be determined by their
internal requirements).

It looks like Enthusian's UA sniffer is looking for Netscape 6.x and not for 
"Gecko". 


If this is the case, they need to block all other Gecko-based browsers (i.e., 
Mozilla and others) properly; without creating the illusion of their support. 
As an alternative, they could change their sniffer. The latter is what we 
IMHO should evangelize to them.  This would help both Mozilla anc  
Netscape 7.0 as its most recent commercial distribution.

Netscape 7.0 seems to be working now, I'll check with a fresh Mozilla trunk
build tomorrow.

OK, Netscape 7.0 works now (and so does Mozilla 1.2a). Seems like they are
sniffing for Gecko now.
