Hello, I've a web site that when i press the french (F) dot bottom the window, it open a new sized window. Under Mozilla M14, I received a blank window and nothing append! If I put the direct url of the page, it's good. When I press the F button, it's called a page for a redirect page (IE or Netscape) [http://dev.mcnet.ch/memoriav/fr/redirect.htm], because I have a frameset for each version. Is this a bug? Sound like. Hope that this wil help you. Regards, Dominique Javet dominique.javet@mcnet.ch
Javascript on http://dev.mcnet.ch/memoriav/fr/redirect.htm redirects to one page if it detects IE, another if it detects netscape, and doesn't do anything if it detects neither. Note that this affects opera users as well as netscape users. The simplest fix is to have the redirect page include the text "If you're not redirected anywhere within five seconds, your browser doesn't support javascript, you have javascript turned off, or the page wasn't able to determine which browser you were using. Click here to go to the IE version or here to go to the Netscape version." A better solution would be to make one page that displays correctly several major browsers, and contains minimal "if ie.. else if netscape.. else" code, because then the page is pretty likely to display correctly in other browsers as well. I'm aware that that isn't a trivial task for complex pages, however.
This smells like a client sniffer problem -- see http://sites.netscape.net/ekrock/answers.html#areyouready
