Wtf!

I have been trying to access my car's service records so I can add some items and I cannot access the web site at all.

http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/disp...ersHome.action


I don't have windows or a mac I run linux with firefox 3.0.11 although that should not matter what os you are using.

When I try it at work on a stupid windows pc it works so now have limited their website to windows and mac only? I don't work with windows or mac I work with linux and I have to keep using it to keep bread on my table and keep making the car payments.

When I go to the Canadian web site it works and I can shop etc.

What a bunch of bs. Two years of owning the car and they took one of the reasons I bought it away.

i dont believe its a windows issue, i think its an IE issue. ive noticed a lot of websites rely on frontpage/vb/etc extensions and functions that work wonders on IE but completely crap out on firefox. its one of the main reasons i hardly use any of my linux/unix machines anymore: the user experience for many online tools are designed for IE (or at least run better on firefox in windows).

if you have a windows emulator you can probably hop on and browse with IE. or i dual booted my laptop so i can have full windows functions when i need or want it.

well I use linux a lot and it works when I install the user agent switcher for firefox

but it is still crap when mazda canada works without the useragent switcher.

you are right that it is an ie issue

but any developers now that are developing with active x should consider a career change.

active x is a piece of sxxt and is not the way to develop a web page.

I hope you will still use linux a lot it will only get improve when people use it.
