It seems just this morning The Age started doing this. You get referred to page below if using an old browser (in my case mozilla 1.6). I see so many scripts misidentify current browsers. It makes the site look foolish (and misleads users). This statement on any articles page under technology (http://www.theage.com.au/technology/) "Note: You are reading this message either because you can not see our css files, or because you do not have a standards-compliant browser. Read our browser standards page for details." Then go to http://www.f2.com.au/browserstandards/ An important announcement from the f2 network (including smh.com.au, theage.com.au, mycareer.com.au, domain.com.au, drive.com.au) You appear to be using an older browser. From early 2004, f2 network sites will no longer offer support for browsers earlier than Microsoft Internet Explorer 5, or Netscape Navigator 6. We are making this change in order to enhance the functionality of our sites to bring our users a better internet experience. While many sections of the sites will still be viewable in older browsers, the full experience will not be possible. A text-only version of both smh.com.au and theage.com.au is always available. If you wish to upgrade your browser, a new version can be obtained for free from the following sources: IMHO, I thought they were more aware and savvy than this. Geoff
