nlinecomputers Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 I had a customer point this out to me and it is the same on my machine as well.If you goto http://www.usatoday.com/news/snapshot.htm?...-02-06-diet.jpgYou should get a flash presentation. I get a box that requests me to load flash. Been there, done that, got the plug-in. Still no joy.Anybody else get this? This is on a Xp and a Win2K box. What about you Linux desktops?

Grasshopper Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Same here.WinXPHome Firebird 0.7 with Flash plugin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usasma Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 It happens on my Firebird, but not on my IE6 or MyIE2 - WTF, over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebkens Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Same with Mozilla 1.5. Even after I downloaded Flash & it said it was successful - in Preferences, the x-shockwave-flash files (swf) are tied to the viewer which is my default image viewer (in my case irfanview). I'm going to try to tie it to Flashplayer - now I just have to find the flash program.But, if I go to the Macromedia flash test page, it seems to work fine. :blink:Maybe the USA Today page works only for IE?

teacher Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Does not work in Linux. I use Galeon which is a mozilla code. There are just a few sites that don't work well with it. HPs help desk online is one. Everything you type is scrambled. I ran across one the other day on USA that gave the flash error and I could not figure out why since everything else works in Galeon.--Julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 In SuSE 9.0: works in Konqueror but not in Firebird 0.7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlinecomputers Posted February 13, 2004 Author Share Posted February 13, 2004 Update!I downloaded an add on called PrefBar http://prefbar.mozdev.org/. One of the things it lets you do is spoof what Browser is running. I set it for IE 6.0 WinXP and wham the page loads. Time to send nastygram to the webmaster at USATODAY.com No need to filter this based on Mozilla browsers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_P Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 It loads fine for me with either Netscape or IE on Win XP Home. It also doesn't seem to care whether the JPG file is specified or not. http://www.usatoday.com/news/snapshot.htm?section=L works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
