Details

The web page referenced above should have a menu with pop-out options to sign (like a drop down but it goes out sideways :-) when the mouse pointer is above the "Online Banking" bar. It displays correctly with the Linux version of Netscape communicator 4.79 (under Linux). It does not display correctly with KDE Konqueror. Thanks for listening!

OK- I had a look at 100861- if it is indeed browser apartheid, what can be done to fix it... that is, what can I go back and say to the web site developers to make the site mozilla friendly? Would the site work if Mozilla pretended to be Microsoft Explorer & the web site fed it <div>s instead of <layer>s? I've complained about lack of non-Microsoft support before & am happy to do it again. What I don't understand is why the older versions of netscape (4.7x) can display the site correctly. Thanks again! Indulis

You can complain to the site, yes. Mozilla pretending to be IE in a very particular way would maybe work (but it cannot pretend in that particular way right now). NS4 works because the site coded a workaround for it. In fact, that's the problem -- Mozilla is not IE so the site gives it the NS4 workaround code, which is code that _only_ NS4 handles (unlike the IE version, which all modern browsers, pretty much, will handle). Re-marking duplicate of the bug this is a duplicate of. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 100861 ***

If look closely you will see that bug 100861 is filed under "Tech Evangelism" - this means that we will try to convince them to change their site to work better in Mozilla. Verifying that this is indeed a duplicate of bug 100861 again.
