272792 - tele2.no - claims that JavaScript is deactivated in Mozilla

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: Norwegian, defect)

Description

[Wladimir Palant]

I tried to make an order at tele2.no and got the message "Nettleseren din har
ikke aktivisert javascript". Looked into source code, this is checking JavaScript:

ikkeok.style.display = "none";
ok.style.display = "block";

It's referring to elements by their ID, great. So I replaced "ikkeok" with
document.getElementById('ikkeok'), same with "ok", and run it from the address
bar - now everything seems to work without problems.

I'm sending the description of this problem to their support - in the category
Internet/Dial-up as it seems to be the most adequate one. I hope they will route
the request to the people responsible for the webpage.

I got an answer from Aleksander Olsen:

"I have routed the request/fix to the right department
and they are eager to remove all java/scripts so it will be more 
allround -browser friendly."

Sounds promising :)

Checked it again - seems to be fixed.

The site still has problems.
Have a look at http://www.tele2.no/privat/nettbutikk/

"Sorry, this page is not supported by your browser. Please install a Internet
Explorer from Microsoft version 5.02 or later and make sure that cookies and
Javascript are enabled."

I'll leave it to the component owner to decide if this bug should be reopened or
if a new Tele 2 bug should be filed.

Actually, this isn't tele2.no. If you check the frame that shows the error
message, it is http://www.shop4all.dk/butik.aspx?ID=183. The site is built upon
ASP.NET and really uses lots of ugly IE-only constructions. It uses server-side
browser sniffing and explicitely blocks browsers with the words "Gecko" or
"Opera" in the user-agent string. I suggest you file a separate bug on this.
