Thanks!
Sword, are you using Safari or Firefox and why? Or other?
I use Safari. I prefer it to Firefox. The font handling is Apple native and I prefer the interface. I keep both around because there are a few websites that are not ACID 3 compliant that for some reason Safari cannot handle which FireFox can.
One of the strangest is the website that handles garnishees for child support payments for the State of California. One of my employees at the office I manage has to pay child support payments through a garnishee of his wages. . . so I have to log on and pay the withheld amount electronically to the State Disbursement Unit of the State of California. However, when I try to log on in Safari, clicking the continue button just brings me back to the login screen. It works fine in Firefox.
The tech support page for the website claims to use the site one needs a "modern computer using either Windows with Internet Explorer, or an OS X Mac with Safari or Firefox. . . but they lie. I have attempted to lodge a complaint with the SDU web support, but their phone says complaints must be lodged with your county's Child Services Agency. . . and then disconnects. No email complaint form allowed. Calling the County Childrens' Service Agency results in them telling me I have to call the phone number on the web site for problems with the website. . . which tells me to call the County's . . . which tell me . . . you get the idea. I have complained to the Governor's office (you know, Governor Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown) every three months now for four years and have not gotten an answer. In California 30% of consumers who have to also use this website are Mac users. It is the ONLY state website that is not Mac compliant.
The one they had before some MSCE got his mitts on it looked like it was designed by an ex-kidnapper. Talk about RANSOM NOTE DESIGN. It did not align from top to bottom, had at least fifteen fonts, and action buttons were oddly named and randomly sprinkled all over the screen. You had to scroll around to find entry boxes, and action buttons were not related or located close to entries they were intended to effect. It was a mess. . . but it sort of worked. I had heard it was designed by a class of inmates at one of the prisons as a class project in HTML web design. LOL! The most you could say for it was it worked.
