Did you actually see a message mentioning java?
Contacting the website managers through the supplied 800
number [now that is a nice feature] yielded only arote answer
"You need the latest Java" and not any mention of alternative,
or workarounds, nothing. Just don't care.
The problem is not java.
Actually, I don't think that site uses java. *They do use javascript
(practically all sites do).
The problem is your browser.
Using Opera 11.01, I can bring up the local flyer, which is an Adobe
Flash file.
Using Firefox 2.0.0.20, I can't.
I'll putz with this a little more, but this seems to be the direct link
for the flash file:
http://walgreens.shoplocal.com/walgr.../walgreens.swf
The file is about 700 kb in size. *Even using Opera 11.01, I can't seem
to get past entering a zipcode.
I don't have a stand-alone flash player (one that works on win-98
anyways). *Maybe someone here can see if they can render that flash file
in win-98 using some method or program...
Oops, I meant latest FLASH Player!
