No plugin found for 'application/x-mplayer2'.
Do you want to download one from www.microsoft.com?
[NO]
A script on this page is causing KHTML to freeze. If it
continues to run, other applications may become less
responsive.
Do you want to abort the script?
[YES]
I then get a little iframe box in the middle of the screen - *with
*vertical and horizontal scrollbars, for fuck's sake* - and not a
single word of text or clickable link visible anywhere on the page.
That's with Konqueror 3.3.2 running on Debian Etch. The site is a
little more interactive in Lynx 2.8.5: there's the excitement of
selecting the iframe link and not knowing in advance that that page
will be blank too!
But I always like to find something positive to say, and at least it
took much less time to download Mattie's blank webpage this time than
on previous occasions. Well done, Mattie!
