Description

[Mark van der Giezen]

When using Mozilla 1.1b I cannot proceed on this URL when I click the link at
the bottom (PROCEED TO THE SUBMISSIONS SYSTEM) while Netscape 6.2.3 can.

The error I get says:
Error Occurred While Processing Request
Parameter 2 of function RemoveChars which is now 0 must be a positive integer
 
The Error Occurred in D:\CFusionMX\CustomTags\whodat.cfm: line 103
Called from E:\xpresstrack\xpresstrack_live\xpresstrack\incoming\index.cfm: line 10

102 : 		cnt=fullsize-placeholder;
103 : 		BrowserVersion=RemoveChars(BrowserVersion,placeholder,cnt);

Seems like there is a bad browser sniffing in page !

When I fool the site with Mozilla Evangelism User Agent sidebar (making mozilla
1.1b appear like NS 6.2.3), site is opening without problem !

Confirming bug and moving it to tech evang, US edu.

That's up to you, now :-)
