298989 - nagish.org.il - "Internet Accessibility" site is inaccessible in any browser but IE

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: Hebrew, defect)

Description

[Prognathous]

This site claims to offer content about the field of Internet Accessibility that
is written by experts. Ironically, it only supports Microsoft Internet Explorer.

To see the problem, just open http://www.nagish.org.il/ in any browser (Mozilla,
Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc...) - you'll be greeted by a blank white page.

To make matters worse, there is no "Contact us" link or form. It seem like not
only is the site completely inaccessible, the authors/maintainers prefer it that
way. Why be bothered with actual accessibility when you can just preach about it?

sent them an evangelism letter.

(btw, prog: as the one who translated the evangelism letter to hebrew, you might
want to add firefox to the list of gecko based browsers there.)

"Sent them" as in "I sent them" or as in "send them"?

As for the evangelism letter, it's getting outdated and should be revised. See
Bug 274256.

No need for an evangelism letter. It is a well known (and sad) fact. It's in 
the process of being changed.

The reason for it happening in the first place is that they have used a dev 
platform that was given to them "for free" (yes, I know), and that platform is 
IE dependent. Pressure is on them for a while, and I'm told it will soon be 
corrected.

I've just visited the site using Firefox, I saw no problems - so I it means they've fixed it... unless someone finds another problems?

Have a look at your Javascript console after the site loads... :-)

better than the initial report, but not 100% yet: the news scroller at the left doesn't work, and doesn't show the play/pause button as in IE; in the right nav bar, links with arrows should show sub-categories when clicked.

tested with firefox 1.5b2

the scroller on the left side is still broken :-(

Resolving bug as the site seems to work well. Please reopen if you find me wrong.
