Hi everybody,
A technical question follows a rant (see the bottom of the post). I don't belong to the category of people who write lots of letters and emails because some websites don't work with anything but IE5.5. It does annoy me though, especially when something very useful stops working. For years I have been using www.bengurion-airport.co.il to track flight arrivals and departures from the airport and to look up flight schedules. Worked wonderfully, was incredibly useful. No longer. The domain does not seem to be resolvable. A Google later I discovered http://www.ben-gurion-airport.co.il that redirects to www.iaa.gov.il and renders just fine with Mozilla. There are prominent links to real-time flight schedules and planned flight schedules - looks like a replacement. Click on a link, and get "dafdefan lo mat'im" from http://www.iaa.gov.il/Rashat/he-IL/Rashot/BrowserSystemMessage.aspx Obviously I am using a browser that is above IE5.5, so the message is a lie. ;-) Before getting seriously pissed off I configured Konqueror to masquerade as IE6.0 on XP and was able to look up the flight schedule. However, if Hamakor or anyone else wants to add IAA to a list of enemies of freedom, I am all for it. People who *really* deserve being publicly flogged with a differential SCSI cable at the next August penguin are the ones who created the IAA web pages - http://www.matrix.co.il. As a final insult the flight info pages cannot be searched from IE on Windows Mobile 2003 (i.e. on my iPAQ) - the pull-down buttons on the forms are unusable. Now, to the technical question: is Mozilla configurable to pretend it is IE, like Konqueror? Couldn't find anything fast enough (Mozilla 1.7.3 on RHEL WS3). -- Oleg Goldshmidt | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
