63541 - clanbase.com - Clanbase serves dumbed down version to NS6/Moz

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect, P4)

Description

[Christian Mattar]

This site serves a reduced page to all non-IE-browsers, although the page 
which is served to IE seems to work fine in current Mozilla builds.

There is no DHTML involved, just HTML+ lots of CSS.

page lookes ok.

Comment 6

[Christian Mattar]

Absolutely not. Look at the page in IE6 and then in Mozilla. There's a huge
difference!

Comment 7

[Kai Lahmann (is there, where MNG is)]

hm.. strange - the page is blue in Mozilla and red in konqueror (which supports
document.all) - *wonder*

Comment 8

[Pascal Chevrel (relman team) -> :pascalc]

Sniffing code involved :
		css = 'cb_red';
		if(!document.all)
			{
			css = css + "_ns";
			}
		document.write("<LINK rel='stylesheet' HREF='http://www.clanbase.com:8000/" +
css + ".css' TYPE='text/css'>");

This explains why Konqueror gets the better css file

There are still a few differences between
http://www.clanbase.com:8000/cb_red.css and
http://www.clanbase.com:8000/cb_red_ns.css but they don't affect the display much.
