Hmmmm. This sparked my interest since I've been using Linux more and more
(would love to get completely "weaned" from M$) so I tried it. The Moss site
worked beautifully with the Konqueror browser as shipped with Mandrake 8.0,
even displaying the PDFs. I submitted a catalog request as well, so forms
were properly handled too. Main site came up OK in Mozilla too, but the PDFs
didn't.
Odd. I keep hearing of sites that "only work in IE" but when I check them
out in other browsers I've had very little trouble. Only site I've had much
of a problem with so far with Konqueror is CarParts.com - they don't have a
"Submit" button on all their pages and rely on simply selecting items from
the drop down to trigger the "Submit". Seems to work on other sites but not
that one. BTW - those of you who run a web site PLEASE don't rely on this
kind of form submission - ALWAYS have a submit button available since that
will work with all browsers. Your visitors/customers will thank you, or at
least will curse you if you don't. :-)

PS - Ed, I didn't forget your request for me to look at your site in using
several browsers. Just took me a while to get around to it. But I'm happy to
report it worked fine in all the ones I tried - IE 5, Netscape 4.75,
Netscape 6 / Mozilla, and Konqueror. IE 5 was just on Windows,
Netscape/Mozilla on Windows and Linux, and Konqueror on Linux. Sound was the
only thing that didn't work everywhere, but that's no big deal. I don't have
access to a Mac, so I can't report on it.
