ChrisM Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 (edited) Hey all, Got a bit of a problem with Konqeror. A couple weeks back, I needed to complete an online form. Using Konqeror, I couldn't navigate past page 1 - none of the links would work. Today, I needed to update some details with my ISP - again online, the links wouldn't work. In both cases, Firefox works perfectly. I've looked in Konqueror settings>Configure> but cannot see anything obvious, other than putting a check alongside Misc:Open directories in seperate windows - and still nothing. Why won't Konqueror navigate - is it the browser/settings, or could it be down to the config of the online forms? Recall tho, Firefox is able to navigate. Any suggestions? MDK 9.2 KDE 3.1.3 Konqueror 3.1.4 (default with MDK/KDE package) Edited September 22, 2004 by ChrisM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 (edited) it can be that the sites you want to access do not support konqueror. i do know of several sites that do not work well with non-IE or non firefox browsers. you think i am lying? try to access yahoomail with epiphany e.g. ... everything is screwed up. blame the website-coders, not kde. :) Edited September 22, 2004 by arctic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM Posted September 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Hi arctic, no no, I believe you, and it is why I asked if it could be the browser/settings OR the config of the online forms etc. After posting this, I sent an email to my ISP cust' service, who have amazingley got back to me already (I did also mention the problem in in a telephone call and I was advised to clear out the History files!) Anyway, I know many ISPs aren't that great when it comes to Linux, and often Linux doesn't even get a mention. However, my ISP promotes web hosting too, and on its home page offers hosting on Win' or Linux. In its bit about broadband service, it says "To use [xyz]Broadband you'll need: [blah de blah] Computer, Windows, Linux or Mac" Now I know this is not a revalation in itself, but at least Linux users are acknowldged as existing! My ISP has however now p****d me off, its reply, which is as I quote: "We have checked with our engineers and they have confirmed that the Control panel only functions correctly in IE. Even a browser such as firefox will have problems viewing the control panel at this time. Apologies for any inconviences this causes." So, back to my initial Q - I just needed to know if perhaps I needed to correct any browser settings, or, as now has been confirmed by your good self, and endorsed by my ISP - that its outta my hands.

scoopy Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 You can try telling Konqueror to identify itself as explorer? Worth a shot I guess. Settings --> Configure Konqueror Browser Identification --> Click "New" button and choose something under "Use the following indentification" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM Posted September 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Thanks for this scoopy, I tried this - for it to be recognised as IE 5.5 in as Win98 - but Konqueror refused to be passed off as second rate rubbish :P I like my Konqueror - I've let my ISP know I'm not happy, I'll let them sort it out or otherwise.
