I took a peek at the JavaScript in the source and can't claim to understand it on a quick once-over, but it seems they are using Microsoft .Net code in the routines that actually do the email. In particular, look at the schema declarations for task within the function createTask. A lot of this looks like boilerplate to me; they wrote or found some code that works in Windows and they're too lazy to look for code that's really open standards compliant. Since there are thousands of other such pages that work with Mac OS X, the excuse they give seems to be disingenuous. By the way, with .Net code in there, the routine will likely fail under Linux too. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
