Some sites are just *so* bad.  I was talking to somebody last night about
one,  that has the gall to use the word "global" in their name --
and which has been a PITA for several years now.  I heard about it,  went
to check it out,  and could only get so far with it,  which was a shame, 
because they seemed to offer some certifications and a bit of training
material.  So I wrote them about it,  and got told that "they only
worked with IE and Netscape and I should install one of those".  To
which I responded "This is bullshit" and every email from that
point onwards carried that subject line.   :-)

Fast forward a couple of years.  Now they have a "browser capability
test" that you have to get past to use the site.  Their list of
"ok" browsers also includes Mozilla,  but my copy of firefox, 
which is based on Mozilla,  wouldn't get past it.  It barfed on the browser
name,  it barfed on the version number (!),  and it barfed on such things
as me not having flash enabled/installed.  Excuse me?  WTF to I need that
for?

So I'll find my info elsewhere...

You could talk to those guys,  and see if they can possibly understand the
problem with the site,  and if they won't change it,  then that speaks
volumes toward their attitude in general,  and they are probably best
avoided anyhow.
