Bitching, whining, and IE-racists.

Sent this off to info@jobwavebc.com after finding a nice job on their site, that I would fit quite nicely in thankyouvermuch.

Hi there. I have noticed a couple of problems with the jobwave.com website. The first of all is the info@jobwave.com link at http://www.jobwavebc.com/contact.asp is broken, you've forgotten the mailto: part of the link.

Second is a bit more of an issue. I am using the latest version of mozilla under linux (best known as the new netscape release), yet your site tells me I need IE 5.x. First of all, this is the sort of prejudice that destroys the purpose of the internet, that is, access to information. I understand not allowing or giving warnings for old versions of software, but not against the newest versions of browsers (note that IE 6 works fine, though you specify IE 5.x).

I've accessed the site under IE and see nothing IE specific that would prevent mozilla or netscape 6 (or any browser based on mozilla for that matter) from accessing it. FYI, mozilla (www.mozilla.org) is a fully CSS 1 and 2, HTML 4.x compliant, and is on par with IE 5 and 6 as far as it's ability to render pages.

I'm sure that it is something like a test for "mozilla" or "netscape" without a check for version number. If this could be modified so that people with non-windows browsers had access to your site, life would be much improved.

Hope you understand my request.

Regards

I hope they listen to reason and stop their wicked ways.
