Is it common for something to work in IE but not Firefox?
Our sites here at work are validated for IE and not Firefox, and that's without any ActiveX shenanigans. I'd have thought it'd be the more standards compliant way around, but I guess you pick your lexicon and work to it.
I know they just redesigned our intranet, and the page loads fine in IE but requires a whole bunch of extra password log-ins in Firefox for some reason. I don't know what the deal is, but I guess if you optimize for IE, sometimes Firefox gets the shaft.

yep. It looks fine for me in IE as well.
It was working earlier today, so someone clearly broke something. I'm just surprised it broke in Firefox.
I guess I need to escalate this. I was hoping it would magically fix itself.
And yeah it looks fine in IE. So you have a browser specific issue. Interestingly enough I see the same problem in an old version of Opera. So I wonder if you have IE specific code in there.
There's code in there designed to make it work with IE6. (I know, I know. We all know. Argue with the client.) I just don't know what they might have been working on today to break it. And it would have to happen when our web person is out sick.
And I just made a developer go "Ooops."
Thanks, guys.
Vortex, do you mind deleting the screencap? I'd like to try and keep things on the DL, especially since I have so little chance to ever use the phrase "on the DL."

No prob. I'd already deleted the file, so the link is dead, but I will delete the link in the post.
We have an extranet site here that's not just IE6 only, it's XP only. As in, if you upgrade to Vista you're on your own, please don't upgrade to Windows 7. I'm not sure what all they put in the code to make it do that.
Steph,
what kind of Nokia phone do you have? I have a Nokia phone and the times I need to get on the Internet with the Touch, I fire up Joikuspot and I get wireless if I have a 3G connection.
