Holy crap, just about had a heart attack! (Latest Mac update)

I don’t understand why sites do this. It makes it harder on both the user and the site programmers. They have to know every time a new numbered version of every browser that comes out in order to make it work. But of course they DON’T.

Why not use >= ??? (If FirefoxVersion >= 1 Then…)

My SIL had the exact same problem with school software - only she is a teacher and the site was for entering grades. She had IE7 and apparently the site ONLY worked with IE 5.5 or 6. Why not >= 5.5?

I had to send her over to her parents’ house to use their machine with IE6 so she could enter grades for the semester. I also told her to please send a note to the school’s IT people alerting them to the final release of IE7 (which had happened months before) and suggesting maybe their staff should update the requirements.

Yeah, no kidding. I lost a lot of time I could have spend on school work. When I get time, I’m going to let the IT guys at school know yet again they’re neglecting their Mac users.

I really appreciate the help I got here. It would never have occurred to me to just change the User Agent.
