Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Jake Duffner]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Full popup message reads "Sorry, your browser is not able to view this chatbox,
since I use kind of advanced techniques (D-HTML and loads of frams, which SHOULD
work on other browsers, but as you guessed, they don't work...).

You will need Internet Explorer (yeahyeah, it's MS, I know...) to be able to chat.

Life's a bitch....

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. just go to http://www.bangme.net
2. click on the chat link on the left OR
3. go to http://www.bangme.net/chat.aspx

Actual Results:  
I got the popup box I mentioned

Expected Results:  
opened a chat room box the way it does on Internet Explorer and Opera (if you
change the browser ID to Internet Explorer but it won't work with any other
browser ID in Opera)

I e-mailed the company and they responded by saying "Yes.. enabling bchat to
work with other browsers would be good for everyone. It is in fact on our list
of things to work on. Instead of sending us money how about you contact the
guy's at firefox and have them implement dhtml properly.

thank you..
