Old summary: "flipdoc.com - "Find Jobs" page on flipdog.com is not completely displayed" New summary: "Flipdog.com doesn't support Mozilla / Netscape 6" Platform -> All. Also, their front page (http://www.flipdog.com) now reads: "*** NOTICE *** This site contains programming that requires a different version of your Netscape browser. FlipDog.com currently supports only Netscape 4 (versions 4.07 and greater)." Of course, in purely mathematical terms, 6.1 *is* greater than 4.07. But, I suppose it would be more wordy for them to say "this site only supports Netscape versions 4.07 through 4.78" ;).

I would like to note that flipdog.com has a "Tell us what you think!" link at the bottom of their main page. It might behoove us to send in one or two (a.k.a. a lot of) messages to them reminding them of the presence of Moz and NS6+ customers.. especially if they have faulty javascripts on their site (as opposed to the unlikely? event that Moz's JS compatibility is at fault).
I sent feedback to FlipDog.com specifying that their site did not work with Netscape 6.2 nor Mozilla, and this was their reply--looks like game over for this bug#: Thank you for submitting feedback to FlipDog.com, the easiest and most effective online recruiting resource for employers and job seekers. Unfortunately we do not support the Netscape 6x platform. Sincerely, Your friends at FlipDog.com If you have any questions or concerns you may reach us by telephone at 1-877-887-FLIP or via email at support@flipdog.com
adding new [insult] keyword (which means, that this page doesn't deny us, but says they don't support Netscape 6 (or any other Gecko browser)

Hm.. i can understand not supporting Netscape 4. But Netscape 6.x/7.x/Mozilla? flipdog = weak.

What's the chance that is a real Mozilla bug? I'm using Mozilla/5.0: (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030313 I changed my user agent to: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows XP) and get the same results. If you click where the map should be you will get an outline for each state you click on. And the search does the correct thing by searching in that state.
Okay. So I played around a little bit with this out of curiousity. I'm not javascript or css expert (not even a beginner) but..... I saved the page locally and made the following change and got the map to display at least which it wouldn't do before.... Hopefully this gives someone with clue a lead.... Any non negative value for the z-index property shows the map although the highlighting doesn't work right... <style type="text/css"> .mainMap { position: absolute; z-index: -2; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I removed the - add got the map to display top: 120; left: 134; } .stateHighlight { position: absolute; z-index: 2; top: 120; left: 134; } .searchUsChkBox { position: absolute; z-index: 2; top: 120; left: 134; } </style>

I tried to use the flipdog site today and was rewarded with the unsupported browser message, and sent them feedback.

Who should flipdog.com talk to if they are interested in recoding the site but are not familiar with what to do in certain cases?
