275060 - omroepbrabant.nl - Links are IE-only scripts

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: Dutch, defect, P3)

Description

[Ronald van Engelen]

some of the 'links' on http://www.omroepbrabant.nl/ (for example the
'agenda'-link) don't use anchor tags, but javascript instead which only performs
the redirect action when the browser is IE.

See also  http://www.lacocina.nl/artikelen/omroepbrabant/ for an explanation in
Dutch.

This website and the one listed in #275061 are both developed by Integrace
(http://www.integrace.nl/). I contacted them and some of their customers but no
one seemes to care a lot.

Ronald, you have to give them some time to react :)

I also contacted Omroep Brabant directly.

confirming and setting p=p3.

Got feedback from site owner, they are aware of the problem and the biggest
issues will be addressed in the first months of 2005.

Got msg from them, saying their updated site will go live later this week and should have better compatibility with Safari and Firefox:

"De afgelopen weken is ons website flink verbouwd. De look is (bijna) dezelfde gebleven, maar technisch is vrijwel alles overhoop gehaald.
Het resultaat is een website die aanzienlijk sneller laadt dan nu en die beter functioneert met Firefox en Safari.

Ergens deze week gaan we die website online zetten. We claimen niet dat alles nu perfect is, maar we hebben serieus ons best gedaan om een aantal zaken te verbeteren."

Their new & updated site is now live and fixes all problems mentioned in this bug. Marking this as fixed.

Thanks goes out to the web masters.
