Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Nalin Uduwawala]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

SKy active a subscription service which allows users to see sports highlights or
download them. The service is password protected. I can go up to the point where
it requests the password/ userid. when I submit the data mozilla comes up with a
message to say "Javascript Application" - "please wait for login page to finish
loading". This is not a problem with IE 5.5 or above. Who wants to IE anyway ??
Please fix this so I can use good old Mozilla.

Thank you,

Nalin.

This may not be bug. But I have some experience in the IT industry as an IT
manager. 

This looks like a bug to me and not a setting related issue. Please correct me
if I am worng.

There is a problem with the page and its use of javascript to access an ActiveX
control. Mozilla doesn't support ActiveX by default - but even with the plugin
http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/plugin.htm the page will not work.

should we close that one as resolved/wontfix?

Peter's right. This site (surprisingly enough, run by Microsoft) involves
IE-specific technology like ActiveX and non-standard JavaScript. Since Mozilla
is committed to supporting W3C standards, it is unlikely that such sites will
ever work. I realize this probably isn't what you wanted to hear, but I'm going
to resolve this as WONTFIX just because the developers, as far as I know, have
no intention of supporting ActiveX.
