Firefox problems

Could anyone tell me why the form here:

will not submit using Firefox but works perfectly in Internet Explorer?

I'm using 1.0PR too, not sure why I'd need extensions.

Seems that other people have trouble with earlier releases too.

Just a thought, as out of date or incompatible extensions could theoretically cause conflicts within the host program ie the brower itself.

But then I could just be talking c***, it's hard to tell sometimes

There's something wrong with the way the browser is being handled by the ASP script on the dezrez.com server.
As it's written in ASP and works fine in IE, it's obvious the developers haven't tested it in Mozilla.

Just tried it with Opera, works fine, tried it with an old version of netscape, works fine, friend tried it with Konqueror, works fine ..

Worked fine when I tried it on 1.0pr

Richard M · 30-10-2004, 12:31

I've submitted it as a bug, it's up to the developers now:

Has anybody tried it with the User Agent String set to minic IE? That way you could find out whether it's a problem with Firefox, or the server trying to do something funny with Mozilla.

How would I go about that? I have access to plenty of estate agents with Dezrez searched.

Another thing, quite important, how do you speed up the page rendering with Firefox? Also, why do textarea's not wrap automatically without resorting to using non XHTML compliant code?

have you checked any settings in

about:config

? A lot of tweaks can be made in there.

Yeah, the site's I've looked at recommended changing settings on config entries that didn't exist, they must have changed them since releasing the latest version.

I've done some more testing and with the user agent set to IE WinXP it still fails.
The headers are showing no response from the dezrez.com server at all.

Heh, this has to be THE slowest browser I've ever used! I think I've given it the benefit of the doubt now, it's still far more bug ridden than IE and is far slower. I also gave Thunderbird a quick try too, when it crashed trying to import my email settings and mail from Outlook, I laughed and uninstalled it. I'd much rather just install patches for IE and Outlook as they're released and carry on using more reliable software.
