Hi,
I tried to check in from home for a flight and I could go through
everything until I clicked the "check in" button. I received a message that
check in wasn't available at that time. I repeated it twice. However, I used
Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) and I had no problems with it. What's
with Safari that we can't do that??

Even in MSIE I couldn't use the on screen "print" command to print my
boarding passes. I had to use File/Print to do it.

Also, when I made reservations with Hertz, I couldn¹t use the Print command
on screen in Safari, but I could in MSIE??

Would Mozila's FireFox handle this better or is this an OSX thing??

Frank

Internet Explorer for Mac doesn't support the window.print JavaScript
command, which is why links to "Print" on web pages usually don't work.
Safari does support this. Try it yourself. Type in
javascript:window.print() into the Address Bar, and press Return. Notice it
works in Safari & Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer. I would recommend
you give Firefox a try on sites that Internet Explorer & Safari don¹t work
well with.
