What browers have you tried?

Make sure you try (at least) Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, and Opera

.uk
Dreadful - and it is made even more shoddy by being an official governmental, public service site!

Yea, thats it. I forgot there were other browsers that came with Panther. I used Internet Explorer (although now as elegant as Safari) and it worked. That is kind of weird that those sites wouldn't work on Safari. I'm so used to everything working perfectly on macs. I guess I just have too high of expectations. Thats why I love my Mac.

It's kind of annoying, but for some websites, I have to use my PC to get to. I only have a few examples, because it doesn't happen very often. There are other sites, but these are just recent ones.

https://secure.buy.com/corp/support/login.asp

It must have something to do with the .asp, or that they're both login pages. Can anyone help?

I use buy.com fairly regularly without problems. What browser are you using?

Edit: Looks like we overlapped, so you answered my question. However I just used Safari to log into the "My Account" section of buy.com without problems. Are you using any add-ons to Safari; i.e. stuff like PithHelmet?

Seem to work for me on Firefox. Have you tried enabling the IE spoof for Safari?

With IE, not with Safari spoofing IE. ;) There is a difference.

Brilliant! :D (http://www.mozilla.org/)

Edit: I just saw your post in the Tiger forum and discovered that you're serious :eek:

Sounds like a job for Firefox! Keep an 'installed' copy in your home directory so you can access it from any computer.

I also have no problem with any of those sites using safari 1.2.3. Weird

I'm using Mozilla (1.7) and all those sites looked just fine.

If a site looks ugly/doesn't work, i use a different browser..
Have never had a problem with both mozilla and safari..
(I find mozilla more compatible than safari, although i haven't used the latest version that much..)
The first revs of safari wasn't good enuff, that have kept me away from it.
(why change from a working browser to one that isn't good enuff..)
