Description stubnitz 2006-11-01 16:56:04 UTC
Version:           3.5.5 (using KDE 3.5.5, Kubuntu (dapper) 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu1)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.16.16-ath64

Probably most of these are site-related issues and not Konqueror issues, anyway:

- betfair.com does not include Konqueror (and, for what I remember, no linux browsers) among the working browsers
- identifying as konqueror makes the website unusable
- identifying as IE for WinXp makes the website work, but:
     * wallet amount in the top frame is always shown at zero
     * no side scrollbar is shown in the left frame (available markets to bet), even if it is sometimes required. Firefox shows the scrollbar correctly

Please do not hesitate to contact me if some clarifications are necessary

Did you try identifying as Firefox on window XP, or Safari? That sometimes works better...

Note that we pretty much can't fix a website like that w/o someone like you doing quite a bit of sleuthing due to the account requirement... Please at least enable javascript error reporting and tells us if any errors show up, and snippets of neighboring JS/URLs to JavaScript files may be helpful.

Identifying as Safari does the job for the scrollbars.

When reloading the top frame (the one with the wallet amount), three JS errors pop up:

1) http://cache.betfair.com/7.2.0-3/betting/Controller.js line 612

2) http://cache.betfair.com/7.2.0-3/marketViewMVC/MarketView_Interfaces.js 
line 199

3) http://www.betfair.com//betting/LoadMarketDataAction.do?mi=20143614 line 101

The error is always the following:

TypeError: Value undefined (result of expression parent.frames["header"].showHideMarketFunds) is not an object. Cannot be called

A strange thing I noticed is that, looking at the top frame source file, the correct wallet amount IS into it, but zero is always shown:

var oUser = interfaces_getNewUser({BLAHBLAH}, '€xx,xx', true, 0.0, 1)

Strange, isn't it?

Finally, some JS urls I found looking at the source code, hope something can help:

http://cache.betfair.com/7.2.0-3/betting/Interfaces_UserModel.js
http://cache.betfair.com/7.2.0-3/betting/userModel.js
http://cache.betfair.com/7.2.0-3/frontpage/Product.js

Cannot reach the website from Italy, it has been banned from Italian ISP. Links on #3 are not reachable too.

A testcase is fully appreciated :-)

Can you still reproduce with current KDE (>= 4.6.4) ?
