it would be much easier for developers if firebird understood the same
parameters as for IE.

might be a problem with field parameters, or the way it understands tables. The
same thing happens inside my email account site.

Comment 2

[Bill Mason]

IE and Mozilla aren't even being given the same code for the top frame, so I
don't know how you can say one is right and one is wrong.

In any event, this is not a Firebird specific bug since Mozilla will give the
same layout.
->Browser/Layout

As Bill said. Mozilla recives different code, whole JS was made for IE/NotIE:

namebrowser = navigator.appName.toUpperCase();
if (namebrowser == "MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER")
	browsertype = B_IEXPLORER
else
	browsertype = B_NETSCAPE

Because it's only layout problem i'd suggest INVALID, but since there is JS
error i hope it can be evangelizated

[Chris Lawson (gone)]

BankBoston's Brazilian operations were bought from Bank of America by Banco Itaú, and I assume the site in this bug (which now times out) has been incorporated into

http://www.itau.com.br/

If there's still a bug there, please file a *new* TE bug against Banco Itaú.

I'm going to resolve this one FIXED by the merger/buyout/transfer since comment 3 makes it clear there was indeed a TE bug at one time.
