[muglo] Re: Explorer Default page

My acid test is <http://www.needahotel.com>. Only IE on the Mac does this 
one properly (don't know whether Mozilla et al. do it on Windoze). The 
others have varying degrees of success in getting to the info page but none 
actually work. It's a horribly coded web site (IMNSHO) but the fact that it 
only works on one (non-standards compliant) web browser does make it a good 
acid test to determine compatibilty with the web (not with standards but 
with what's actually out there... standards through force).

Hmm? Me confused. I opened this site in Safari and it displayed Abbotsford 
and successfully went through a refresh cycle (every 20 seconds). Never 
mind, found a live feed and it behaves as expected. I suspect that it's a 
JavaScript problem (or MS FrontPage doing something fishy that IE supports 
and Mozilla has support for) though am not that skilled at JS that I can 
read this fully.

I wouldn't be surprised if KDE on Linux can't handle this site either...

Eric.

PS This is the relevant code on the web page.
PSS Has anyone sent feedback either to Apple or to www.borderlineups.com?

{
  // If not IE for Windows use the browser itself to display
  output = "<IMG SRC=\"";
  output += BaseURL;
  output += File;
  output += "?dummy=garb\" HEIGHT=\"";
  // The above dummy cgi-parameter helps some versions of NS
  output += DisplayHeight;
  output += "\" WIDTH=\"";
  output += DisplayWidth;
  output += "\" ALT=\"Moving Image Stream\">";
}

document.write(output);
}
</script>
<script language="JavaScript">
DisplayImage("scripts/liveimg.dll?path=/pachwy/pachwy_fullsize.jpg&fps=1&duration=3600&timeout=60");
</script>
                <!-- end image script -->
    </td>
  </tr>
