The domain records also return the following: 
person:      Stein Eran
phone:       [phone]
fax-no:      [phone]
e-mail:      [e-mail]

Might not be the Technical contact, but this person is at least own the domain.

As for the site, it is accessible from http://www.high-q.co.il/public2/, but
still few pages do not display Flash at all, while others do. I have no idea
about the status of the internal pages, which are restricted to registered users
only.

Tsahi, did you ever hear anything back? They're still blocking Firefox 2 and Camino trunk.

Would you mind contacting them again and pointing them to this bug once again?

Comment 6

[Tsahi Asher]

This is how they block Firefox. Please note that they block everything, but not IE5 - IE8. Shame on them!


<SCRIPT language=Javascript>

<!--

//alert(navigator.appVersion);

checkVersion = false;

//document.writeln(navigator.userAgent);

if((navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Win")) >= 0){

	// Check if the browser is Microsoft IE

    if (navigator.appName.substring(0,9) == "Microsoft") {

    // Check if IE version is 4 or newer

		index = navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE");

		//document.write(navigator.appVersion.substring((index+5),(index+8))+" appversion")

		if (parseFloat(navigator.appVersion.substring((index+5),(index+8)))>=5)

		{// IE Version is supported

			//document.write(navigator.appVersion+" true")

			checkVersion=true;

		 }else {// IE Version is not supported

			//document.write("Sorry! We only sopport Microsoft IE 5.0 or above.  ver")

		 }

    }else {// The browser is not supported

		//document.write("Sorry! We only sopport Microsoft IE 5.0 or above.  mic")

    }

}else{

	//document.write("Sorry! We only sopport Microsoft Windows OS.")

}

They don't have any real contact form, but the following form for requesting more information and they might call you back. http://www.high-q.co.il/site/index.asp?refid=highq (please note the favicon of the page. WTF?!)

Another method is to call them directly. The phone number is 1-800-808080, but I guess only sales persons are sitting there.
