Javascript and Internet Explorer

Monday, September 13th, 2004

Found this error in seek.com.au (a recruitment site like monster.ie) when updating my seek copy
of my CV a few days ago.

Can you spot it?

Scary thing is it works ok in Internet Explorer, which just demonstrates how broken IE is.
I just hope for Seek’s revenue’s sake that there aren’t similar, or worse, errors when buying posting
space from them to advertise job vacancies.

I emailed Seek to notify them of the problem – they only support IE; heaven help anyone in
Publishing (Macs & safari) or Linux IT in Oz who are looking for work!
