 |
|
Can anyone help with this little problem which has been iritating me for some time. When I use Mozilla (all conceivable user options and plugins have been tried / used) to open the website http://www.odeon.co.uk/ it fails at page 2 where you should be offered a series of drop-down menu's to book a ticket on-line. This is a cross platform problem. However the site works fine with IExplore, Opera etc. Its not a show stopper, but, I'm intrigued.
Any ideas? Geoff

| I tried it in konqueror and it worked slightly better but not in any useable way. guess both mozilla and konqueror need to fix their javascript support |

I guess certain web-sites need to fix their code to follow the standards. I see no reason for standard compliant browsers to support non-standard crappy code just because one company wants to use it.

Other than complain to the webmaster to fix his standards incompliant website, you'll simply have to use Opera. That is the only realistic solution.

So: to summerise the site is not following the W3C standards in respect to Javascript, therefore it dont work with Mozilla. Therefore I'll complain and /or go to UCI instead of the Odeon to watch The 3 Towers.
Shame they didnt use the weasle words "site works best (works only) with IExplore" would have saved me some head scratching.
Thanks for the help Geoff

Its the sad reality of being a linux/mozilla user. Mozilla is 99% standards compilant allready, the work they do now is emulating IE's bugs so most webpages actually work.  |
