In some cases the agent-switcher plugin simply won't have any effect. It's usually a case that the middleware used on the site, requires a certain set of dills/and/or plugins, that can only be used with a certain browser(s). I ran across this at a college website last year here in Toronto. The site in question was using JAVA as middleware, and the browser I was using at the time; Apple Safari apparently has/had a nasty JAVA exploit (at the time) so Apple Safari/and Mozilla users couldn't access the dynamic parts of the site for security reasons. I don't remember the details specifically, but I did find the bug listed on BugTrac. I don't know if this is relevant at all to your issue Ken, but it bears consideration. I complained to the webmaster, and he actually agreed with me, and said a new site was under development at the time. It has since been fixed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
