Hi.
I reproduced the problem on my SunBlade 100; note
that things are better when I decrease the font size
(ctrl--).
If you really want to detect a browser running on a
Solaris machine, you could check the user-agent string,
though this is NOT recommended. For the Solaris
Mozilla/Firefox browsers on Athena, this is currently
set to:
Mozilla:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050923
Firefox:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050923 Firefox/1.0.7
Note that many browsers will include the leading
"Mozilla/" in this string; your best bet might be
to look for the "SunOS", "Gecko/", and/or
"Firefox/" sub-strings in this value.
Please feel free to contact me if you want more
help with this.
Bob
