Browsers Prob

ALInux · 08-22-2005, 09:43 AM

I am really not sure if I should have posted this post in the network forum or here I hope I was right to post here......

Ive got this problem with my Browsers ( Konqueror, Mozilla , Firefox) when I try to access this site www.flex.mtctouch.com.lb it just appears to be loading forever without even showing somethin only a white browser page. Actually the only browers to access that site is IE even when I used windows I could not access it in Firefox.. Does it require active x plugins or what..... I mean there are no notifications whatsoever.

Any help is welcomed

Yup look like it is a very badly made IE only website...
I can't load it with anything, even firefox in windoze.

Bad news.....See it is a free SMS site that I use all the time ... It is the only thing that keeps me going back to win at present time.......I ll see where I can find an alternative....
Is there some way to receive sms on the pc or on an online mailbox ????

Thanks for your help

Yahoo! Mobile - SMS and Text Message Your Friends

You can send free SMS/text messages from Yahoo. If that person has Yahoo Messenger they can then message you back if you have it also.

The site from the OP loads with Opera in Linux.

You might try the Opera browser, as I have found that it more closely mimics IE behaviour than some other browsers.

Yea, IE-only-websites are a real problem ... like the old saying goes ... "which version of the standard do you use?" :-)

I do not think that the yahoo site covers lebanon .. I tried it before but I will give it another shot..... but I surely will give opera I try, alot of people are recommending it.

Thanks to all of you people for the help

Actually Iam using Opera right now and it is cool......it truly mimicsk the IE explorer but it would be much better if I could use all of the window to browse instead of giving away the side bar of the explorer.
I guess not everything is free :P
