One of our pilots has pointed out to me that due to fun DOM differences, our Fleet Library didn't work will with Netscape or Mozilla. I've made a change to the HTML, so hopefully the DHTML on the page will work better going forward.

On a side note, I was recently asked at work to determine the percentage of our web users that used NS4/NS6/Mozilla, and it came to 0.5%. I'm not sure what the numbers for DVA are, but I don't imagine they're very high. I have a copy of Mozilla Firebird on my box and I will do some tests, but please keep in mind that if you're using Netscape or Mozilla, things may not work. Please let me know, but in the interim give things a whirl with IE5 or IE6.

Cheers!

I use IE6 solely. To many bugs in Netscape, I think the MS clan designed XP Pro not to work well with netscape.

Luke, I have a secondary box (an old Celeron 300 Mhz) that I run using Red Hat Linux, and use Mozilla. I've found that things like the Approach Charts and Schedule stuff haven't come up in the past, but I'll give it a try again tomorrow. I should upgrade to the newest version of Mozilla, it's still running 1.0, but I'm too much of a Linux ignoramus to figure out how. So maybe I'll just wipe the box and reinstall. smile

I just tried the approach charts in Firebird (on Win32) and it appears to work. I won't vouch for the print button, but the stylesheet should allow you to print the page without the button showing. There was only a MIME type warning on the style sheet, which I fixed.

Cheers!
