User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

The website http://www.onderwijsvacaturebank.nl/ offers visitors to search 
vacancies in the field of education. The makers of this website warn that it was
built to be visited by Internet Explorer only. As a Mac owner and a Firefox user
I do not agree with that kind of policy and I hope you have a solution to this
problem. I guess this is the same problem some people have whose bank ignores
any OS but Windows and any browser but IE.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
In order to approach the website http://www.onderwijsvacaturebank.nl/ I am
forced to change the user agent to IE.

1. Choose: Ik zoek een baan (I'm looking for a job)
2. In the following window choose: Zoekopdracht (Search assignment)
3. In the following window in the left window it says: dummywaarde (dummy
value). This shouldn't be there; choose anything from the drop down menu that
still says: Directie Adjunct directeur (Board of Directors Deputy Director). The
'dummywaarde' will be replaced by options that should have been there in the
first place. Go back to the top option "Directie Adjunct directeur" and notice
that the 'dummywaarde' option has not returned.
4. Select any of the numbered options in the right window, for example: "1 -
Groningen" (this is a Dutch province).
5. Click on Zoeken (Search) in the left menu. Nothing happens.



Actual Results:  
Eventually nothing happens: the search does not start.

Expected Results:  
The software should have launched a search and should come up with a list of
vacancies. Since the website was designed to be used with IE you may produce the
desired result by using that browser.

I realize that you may consider this not to be a bug but, instead, the result of
bad choices made by the builders of website http://www.onderwijsvacaturebank.nl/
. If, however, you could make it possible for Firefox fans to use these kind of
websites without having to resort to the virtually obsolete Mac version of the
IE browser I'd be very grateful.
