Seems to work just fine using firefox or mozilla 1.4.

https://peoplefirst.myflorida.com/ which takes me to

https://peoplefirst.myflorida.com/reject.htm

I see what you mean, though, a lot of pages on that site are not a
problem.  I wonder if in their https configuration _only_, they
could've forced everything to be either NN or IE (shudder- in the name
of security).


Debugging or spoofing this could take more time than it
takes to pick up an Linux version of Netscape.

Download and install Netscape.

I get the error page you indicate when I attempt to
open this URL.

   http://peoplefirst.myflorida.com

If I use Netscape 7.2 I get the login page just fine.  <<<--- OK
Download and install Netscape!

If I look at other pages with Mozilla they are OK so all is not lost. There seems to be only one place where it fails.

 https://jobs.myflorida.com/joblist.html?displaymode=-4.10000051

Also there is apparently a 'SAP' data base involved.
File a bug with the SAP folks.  Tell them that you do
not see this problem with PeopleSoft or Oracle ;-).



If the page is designed properly for Netscape, it should work in Mozilla. It is a site related problem that the developer should be notified about.
