I have not tried Firefox under Mavericks but when tried it under ML it was unusable because of constant busy messaging.
As far as I am aware the only other accessible Mac browser is a text based one called Lightning which may not help as it sounds like there is some odd code on this page which a text browser would find hard to interpret.t. It is odd that a web site from this organisation of all organisations should be providing an access barrier to industry standard browsers. It sounds like that they have been very narrow in their focus in assuming that all their students would use a Windows platform. The commitment to accessibility with Apple was hard won so our organisations should respect and support this commitment as well.

Neither browser would change from that to "ready." I've contacted their IT department who tell me that Safari struggles with some elements on their website, and to try Firefox. Well, I did install it to give it a go, but firstly was a bit confused by how to interact with it, and secondly, it too kept producing the 'busy' notification, regardless of what I was trying to do. Am I missing a trick with Firefox, or isn't it so good running under OSX - Andy <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to [email protected] You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/>.
