[snip lengthy discussion about university web pages that are inaccessible to iceweasel] My personal experience with sites like that (ie. those that don't work with iceweasel) is that 1) their html-code contains errors 2) their java-code contains errors I would politely point out to your professors or better to their web staff, that their code contains errors (validate at [1]), and that this causes problems for you taking part in that course. Their reply will be, that they can't fix it now. However, at least they should take this to the manufacturer of their (supposedly) proprietary software for generating those 'beautiful' pages and try to improve it for the future. The internet will never be save and accessible to all, unless there are enough people complaining about errors and trying to force the whole line of web designers to adhere to the published standards. Here in Germany there is already a law, that forces all publicly sponsored sites (incl. universities) to adhere to valid html and to abandon java wherever possible (or publish the content additionally in a manner that is accessible with java turned off). It works better on paper than in praxi, but it's the right step.
