I've seen that the french (my ^^) translation has been put online, but the script that should change the document.location doesn't work I'm using Firefox (0.8) but it works with Avant, so it should work in IE too.. I've already sent an email to Patchou about this problem

[edit] His answer : don't use firefox xD [/edit]

It doesn't seem to be a nice answer though

I remember that according to W3C (I forget where), the script should use window.location instead of document.location. IE does recognize document.location, but it wouldn't be queerish if FF doesn't support it. I'll mail Patchou about this and he may give it a try.

Well, it's not my fault if Firefox is not compatible with the browser which is being used by 95% of the people who go on msgplus.net . 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 .

In any case, as Mnjul gave me the fix on a golden platter, I included it. It should now work with your browser .

Patchou, seriously: I think you're completely wrong about this.
Remember that 100% of windows users are sort of forced to use Internet Explorer unless they download another browser. Mostly n00bs and unconcerned people stick to IE => 90%. If you take a look at the 50 top posters you'll see that percentile dramatically decreases .

Any good website builder is concerned with the portability of the code:
- Following W3C standards
- Testing it on most browsers (ie, but not limied to: MSIE, Mozilla, Opera and Safari, at least)

You can't just marginalize a browser because it's less used than another, I thought you'd know that from Plus! compatibility with old and hardly used versions of Messenger, for example .

I'm happy anyway that this gets fixed soon .

PS: Firefox hasn't already anything about blocking flash. There is a third-party plugin that can do so, in order to block ads, not just block any flash that comes through the line .

when will the other languages be added?

there is only frech in the dropdown list; of course there a lots added in the ....&lang=xx pages

i checked it before i posted and the "select your language here" @ msgplus.net shows only "francais"

it still doesn't work xD

If it still doesnt work I really doint know what else I could do. And as for following the glorious W3C standards, let me laugh: haha. If Microsoft (and Netscape at the time, for once, I have to give them credits for something) hadn't taken things in their own hands to allow more features in web page, almost nothing would have changed in the past 8 years. Standards are good, as long as they match needs. As far as I am concerned, IE has become the standard, I couldn't care less if another browser is not capable of rendering my pages as IE do. I know this sounds blunt that I'm really speaking my mind here (and this doesnt mean I don't like Firefox, this seems to be a very promising browser).
