The site does a browser check that requires IE 6 or better or a recent version of NS. I use the User Agent plug in to lie and say I am using IE6. That gets me into the site, but I cannot access the lessons which are a JS menu. The site uses frames and quite a bit of Flash, but the Flash I don.t think is an issue because it works well on other sites. The site does use a Windows server, so I suspect the problem is in the Java code that Windows uses. I am not much on programmin, but I do believe that I read somewhere that MS uses their own version of Java and that it has some intercompatability issues with non-MS Java. Any clues as to how we deal with this?</blockquote><div> That Java thing was long ago. It sounds like a really aging site, as in: from the time people used to support specific browsers. Those are really sparse nowadays, as you're missing out on a lot of visitors if you don't create a good website (what with Firefox soon hitting a 20% worldwide market share - that's losing one in five visitors!). The best thing to do is to file a complaint with the site and not to use it. If you really must, you can try installing IE6 (see <a href="http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page">http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page</a>), but then that site is very lucky that you're willing to go through so much trouble. (It's not a problem with the server or your system by the way - it's all the website's fault) </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> - -- Peace!
