It's not easy getting something like that to work for all browsers since essentially they're all different.

Yeah like in gmail ,for example if I use konqueror to access my gmail account ,I can`t use the standard view becaus "my browser isn`t capable of that" ,but if I make konquror identify itself as firefox or IE ,than MAGIC ,it works ,well maybe the google developers don`t know that ,yeah right ... they don`t wanna know.In my opinion there are more than two browsers in the world that support stuff ,and it`s not a nice thing turning the others down ,google should set an example ,it should "support" all browsers that are capable of the "technologies" needed to display googles pages.

Maybe it works when identified as firefox because the site thinks you have firefox, a browser which supports the webcoding for that page 100%.

It's not googles responsibility to set an example.
You can start your own megawebsite if you want to give other browsers equal status.

Already have a site ,and I always chek if it supports the standards ,btw ,these google pages won`t run with opera ,even if I make it indentify itself as firefox.

Yeah, that's probably because the coding does not work on opera..

I thought you just said if you make a browser identify itself as firefox it works? Which is it?


Funny, I've never heard of a megawebsite run by a djdarkman.

didn`t say it was "megawebsite" ,it`s just something that I make in my speare time ,,GMail runs with the latest opera beta without identification tricks ,but for example konquror runs only if I indentify it as firefox ,but google pages runs only with firefox no mather how I indentify other browsers.
