iCab 2.7.1 locks up on Apple support page
F. Todd Wilson
Does anyone else have this problem? When I go to
<http://www.apple.com/support/>, I consistently get the infinite spinning
rainbow....
Thanks,
Todd

I have a similar problem if I am attempting to go to Apple Support by
way of link in another web page [Macfixit or something like that]. for
some reason iCab just won't connect even tho I have the Apple Support ID
cookie active.

I don't have this peculiar problem but others, for instance when trying
to ftp I get
Error FTP #425
425 Can't build data connection: No route to host.
OSX version 10.1.2, icab 2.7.1. Opera 5.05b5 works just right
simultaneously on the same mac/OSX
I compared iCab prefs one-to-one with the OS9 v. 2.6 still on the same
mac, all are equal, 9/2.6 works, X/2.7.1 no...
the ftp site I tried was
ftp://ftp.caffeinesoft.com/pub/caffeine/OSX/TIFFany3.dmg.gz

No trouble for me either using the same versions as Dave above.

The new iCab version is very slow when I retrieve webmail from
Altavista. Netscape 4.75 is peppy in comparison.. But on some websites
with lots of ads (such as Business week) iCab is quicker. I keep both
handy when surfing.

My biggest complaint with iCab (all recent versions) is that the
pulldown menus on the National Public Radio programs site doesn't work,
so I have to get into the individual programs "manually."
Since I am a NPR/Real Player junkie, this is a big deal for me.
I recently switched to IE 5.1 for this purpose, and was favorably
impressed with the program. Only major complaint is that after a
certain amount of time running or windows open (haven't figured this out
yet) IE refused to download giving the same message it would for a bogus
address. Only cure is to quit and reload the app (not the system).
Since the app loads in a few seconds on my Pismo, this isn't huge except
I lose all my open windows.

It seems that there's a "mild conspiracy" going on between many of the HTML
developers and Microsoft/Netscape. The "big 2" are doing a good job of
staying abreast of what "illegal" HTML code the many sites are developing,
and reqwriting the browsers to display this. iCab is a "clean" browser; it
frowns on any non-standard code, and therefore won't display it.
Is this a problem with iCab? Or is it a problem with the pirate sites that
are doing whatever they like and counting on the "big 2" to follow along?
You decide.

It is not so much a conspiricy as people not testing properly.
As a web designer, you write a page and you want to know what it looks
like and to make sure you wrote everything correctly.
You view the page in IE and Netscape. It looks fine.
You go on with life, ignorant of the fact that your page has 100+ HTML
errors in it because you do things like nest objects that cannotbe
nested, you overlap contradictory tags, and you do not close some of
your tags.
In addition, you want your page to act a certainway, and you see that
someone has written up a hack (illegal HTML) that gets the effect you
want. It works in IE and Netscape, so you do not worry about it.
Indeed, there are things that the HTML spec does not allow for that the
Big 2 browsers are able to display. Some companies choose to take
advantage of that fact.

I didn't quote all of the former message.
I too have had some problems with iCab locking up or not desplaying some
pages. iCab does have the little frowning man to indicate that a page
is nonconforming. I would find it hard to believe that there is a 'mild
conspiracy.' What would be the goal of said conspiracy?
I like iCab very much. however, I don't like the locking up or
non-dispaly. I hope iCab can keep up.

btw I am in the (painful) process of registering Opera too, for those
cases where iCab e. g. doesn't handle CSS...
