I do that, but it doesn't work. Of all the sites I complained to, the only one who did anything was yellow pages, which didn't improve its site, merely removed the blocking of non-MSIE browsers. I am currently in a series of e-mails with BuildAGate, who have a site-generation software, written in PHP, but not supporting Mozilla and Konqueror very well. (Try www.hayadan.org.il in Konqueror, and try www.dynonon.com in both). It's funny that people who write in PHP should do things this way, like dirtying the entire site with Javascript where there should be no Javascript (a Javascript to put an item in the basket? Good grief!). At least they were serious enough to install the latest version of Netscape - although they gave me the answers regarding Hebrew and compatibility in general which were true two years ago. Amazing how old information sticks. Would anybody else beside me try to influence them? http://www.buildagate.com/ Another site to whine about is the Knesset site. Anyway, in general, the "convince the site" approach just doesn't work. We are left frustrated with letters that say "thank you for your information", or "you are a minority, shut up", or "We don't support Netscape, bla bla bla circa 1999". We need a different approach in a hurry, because bad web sites really flood Israel, what with commercial bodies hiring cheap programmers who are willing to work for food, and who grew up in ASP city (John Bryce courses...) Organize? Maybe create a site or a subsite which contains links of all the uncooperative sites, and give them bad rap in the press? Create a nice PDF in Hebrew about standardization of a site, and send it to management levels in those companies? I'm at a loss. For me it's worse than most of you - my other OS is a MacOS...
