Yeah, but setting your konqueror user agent to pretend to be something else doesn't work either. I then installed both mozilla and netscrape 4.78 and tried with them. Netscape cannot handle it - page doesn't exist error comes up - but Mozilla has no problem. I just tried the saltlake2002 site again, with user agent identifying me as IE 5.0 on NT 5 and the same thing...initial page comes up OK for all of 1.5 seconds, with pictures, links, text, then POOF! It's gone coincident with the site redirecting me to: http://www.saltlake2002.com/x/f/frame.htm?u=/news/slocmain_front.asp which is nothing but a javascript page. I am using kde 2.2.2 so maybe 2.2.1 is OK but 2.2.2 is broken? -- This would be the best of all possible worlds if there were no religion in it. --John Adams, 2nd President, Founding Father, 1817
