As Jeff asked, what UA does Konq use by default?

Follow the like above. It's an addon for mozilla that allows changing 
the UA string on the fly. I usually use it to get past so broken 
javascript browser check, then switch it back for other pakes.

Which one? Is it a public site? Have you reported the problem to the 
webmaster and the mozilla developers? What's the bugzilla number for the 
mozilla bug?

If you don't report bugs and complain to webmasters, it won't ever get 
fixed. Webmasters need to learn that M$ IE is not the only browser out 
there.

What in the javascript is wrong? Mozilla also has a Netscape 
"compatibility" mode. It allows some nostandard javascript stuff to work 
but it's not recommended for use. The site should be fixed.
