I got Mozilla to work. It CAN handle the javascript on the
http://www.cores.utah.edu order sites. Konqueror cannot handle the
javascript involved in placing a DNA sequencing order through these pages.
Mozilla's problem dealt with the https pages involved, not the javascript.
Even if you install the PSM, it will only work for root, not regular users.
I posted this problem to Bugzilla and found that it was a duplicate of one
other bug. The workaround is to make the psm directory (and possibly its
contents) world read/writeable. After doing this, as a USER I can now use
Mozilla to access the secure website required for placing the javascript
orders the pages use.
Konqueror does need some javascript support repairs. If IT could deal with
the pages AND if kmail could do IMAP, then I wouldn't have need of Mozilla.
As it is, I must use mozilla to place and review my DNA sequencing orders AND
to access my IMAP email account at my school. I do not want to use
fetchmail, which would be an workable intermediary between kmail and an imap
server. Kmail NEEDS to be able to do imap itself.
Anyway, Konqueror does indeed have javascript "issues" and if you want
Mozilla to work with secure websites, you must make the PSM directory
(/usr/local/mozilla/psm) world readable/writeable. A fix for this insecurity
is due in future mozilla releases.
