actually most sites work under mozilla suite/FF just fine for me. The only issue i have with webadmin is hte lack of a flashing cursor..and that is soemthing i can do without..[:)]
I would disagree. FIrefox stays close to standards. IE, like so many other M$ produces 'enhance' the standards.
Look at the Kerberos used by M$ for another example.
But this debate is rather pointless. If ASL is built specifically for IE use, they should say somewhere. I wonder what Linux admins have to do.

I agree - the FireFox vs. IE issue is a separate debate, but it is strange that a Linux based product seems to work slightly better with IE. Perhaps this issue should be a bug in WebAdmin.
That said, I use FireFox with ASL and generally have no problem with most of WebAdmin.
You state that a poblem with Firefox is when it trys to spawn a new browser window. Enabe popups for your webadmin address, that should resolve that problem.
A number of functions do not work with firefox. Most notably those that span another browser copy. So I am forced to use IE.
Any config suggestions???
[/ QUOTE ] first..tell firefox to allow popups from your firewall's ip. Otherwise everything else should work fine. what other issues are you experiencing?

The things I've noticed with FireFox (1.02) are bothersome, but don't prevent me from using it with WebAdmin. But here's a couple examples:
On Executive Rreport, if you click view report to see the current report, the slider doesn't work right. You can use the arrows fine, but can't grab the slide bar and move it.
On the Up2Date page, the little blue "i" info icon next to the "Virus Protection", if you mouse over it, a window pops up showing the new definitions in the latest update. You can't scroll down through the whole list. As soon as the mouse pointer gets to the scroll bar the window closes.
Yes, Firefox sticks to standards more but the fact is that IE works on more sites more fully than Firefox does. I just finished a one month eval of it.
Yes, Firefox has some great features and is a good product but my above statement stands.

Not in my travels. I very rarely hit an ie only site anymore. Most sites that i have seen also render just fine on FF/mozzie. The only ones that have issues are ones typically designed using MS programs set at their defaults.
