Weird Web site problem

Posted by Abby on July 30, 2000, at 7:47:08

I've been trying to visit the health care web site

http://www.nomanagedcare.org/

for some time, but I can't get anything. What's weird is that I don't get an error message. Just document done. At the top of my browser next to the navigator/ship's wheel icon it says "Welcome to the Frontlines in the Fight against Managed Care," but the body of the browser, the screen is just blank, though a nice mauve sort of blank.

Does anyone know why this would be?

Thanks,
Abby

Greetings to Abby:

Try the dreaded MS Internet Explorer to view this site.
As the JAVA/ACTIVE-X wars continue, some sites have become
browser specific.

Highlight and cut the address from the Navigator's location bar,
load the Explorer, and paste into the Explorer's location bar.

When I had IE 5.x, this usually worked for me.

Abby,

I went here and got the same thing. I have some "special" software for checking web site content. and got back a "data missing or unavailable" message. There's nothing to see there except for that rather relaxing mauve screen....

Maybe a disgruntled, hospital-working, website hacking, ex-employee?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Why, thank you, kazoo, it DOES work when I use MS-IE 5.x!
Gee, you must be smart, as well as 5 inches short of 6 feet.

You're quite welcome, kazoo, and greetings to you, yours and IT, too.

I remain,

kazoo (but you can call me kazoo)

 

Thanks Kazoo

I only just got back, though I had checked a couple of times before when there were no posts. I only just got back, saw your post, and now am about to try.

Update: Just tried and it worked with an old copy of IE 4.0 I got from Dummies 101: HTML 4. Hats off to our IT specialist. Thanks,
Abby
