Story: UK government wakes up to Firefox

This site has been unavailable to all but IE users since they upgraded to the all new, all dancing version installed late November 2003! Since then I have been in regular contact with this useless department pointing out that the changes required to make it useable by everyone are not rocket science. All you get back is a load of dross about cost-effectiveness, and thorough testing. As I pointed out to them, if they are worried about cost-effectiveness then you don't run Windows, as for testing, hope it proves better than the last upgrade in 2003. That one didn't even conform to the most basic standards, the print out from the page checker was quite funny!
It must be something to do with the padded white cells they have them working in! Maybe DWP should stand for Don't Work Programmers!
