I dunno about FireFox, but the language selection menu looks and works good in Opera. (y)

indeed, dodgy script

Yep, works in Firefox :)
the global.php page works, but not the main page (where there's no form). Add the same in the main page ;)

You can say all you want about it, I'm not the one who created it. And as far as I'm concerned, everything in it works perfectly well, I don't see any reason to criticize it :p.

I was just coming here to inform you that I did the same change in index.php, I forgoot to do it today.

The script was dodgy, I agree :gfdrin:. And I know it worked with FFox before (I tested the site in every modern browser), though I must have removed the <form> during development.

As for Patchou's opinions regarding browsers "uncompatible with IE"... well, I don't agree :P  These are undocumented behaviours which have no reason to work, if IE decides to make them work good for them, but it's not other browsers' fault.

As I know that Firefox already has some kind of nasty plugin disabling Flash in the worse possible way, I couln't take this warning very seriously, sorry about that
err... That's pure misinformation :-/

Firefox, as IE, and as Plus!, supports third party plugins. There is a plugin which blocks Flash, and just like every other Flash blocking plug-in for Firefox, Mozilla, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari or whatever, doesn't do it properly because it does it after loading the page. When msgplus.net uses JS to detect the flash player available or not, the flash blocker isn't active yet. And because the player IS available, it loads the movie and immediately is blocked (made invisible) by the flash blocker.

That's not the worse possible way, it's actually the only possible way except for uninstalling and reinstalling the player in runtime. :-/

That's not something to take Firefox seriously or not, it's just that some people are in slow computers and want to block flash movies and therefore make and use these kind of plugins.

Indeed. But we are not talking about innovation this time, we are not talking about the IE-only features like the css filters. We are talking about just stupid decisions to make 2 separate names for the same thing :P

(FTR I use IE (avant) :P)
