<snip tale of woeful browser ident "error" trapping code and

encouraging response from site>

I was trawling the list of suggested suppliers from one of CTC's
parking leaflets yesterday and was amazed by the proportion of
disfunctional sites

"you do not have flash and shall know nothing of our site save the page
title"
"you browsed our site with a browser whose ident we did not anticipate.
Be Gone! You must be doing it wrong."
"you have passed the hurdle of 'flash plugin' now curse the day you
were born as you contemplate the unknowable mystery of our navigation
paradigm."

And most of these are brochure sites, not supporting online
transactions.

Subject: your website

When trying to buy some products from your website, I was told
"Some parts of this site do not work with your browser. You are highly recommended to upgrade".

I am using Mozilla Firefox. I do not wish to "upgrade" to Internet Explorer.

Can I suggest that you ask your web designers to update the site so that it works with modern browsers?

Yours,

Arthur

Thanks for your comments, we are currently revising our web site software to hopefully correct this problem.

So I might even be able to buy online with Xpedia soon!

My on line bank will not work with the version of IE on my works laptop
and with Firefox says its unsupported but works anyway. I had problems
with older versions of IE and Xpedia

And therefore driven by marketing types who cannot bear the idea of
simply providing information in a clear, concise and easily accessible
form.
