I tried one last thing on this qvc page that I'd like feedback on.
(I would like to send mail to their webmaster about the bad html
and anything else I pertinent.)
I went through the same process as before until I got to the page

This time I selected [4] instead of [3] to see if it could handle encryption.
On the status bar I got something like
"Alert! this client does not contain support for HTTPS URLs"
The currently selected link was

If the cookie jar is important, it contained:

So I was able to complete an order without encryption but not with encryption.
IS THIS EXPECTED BEHAVIOR? (i.e., bug or a feature? whose bug?)
Again, if anyone wants to try Netscape on this file, you can access both
the original (bad html) version and the edited version at
http://www.voicenet.com/~leaves/
Comments welcome.
(I want to know what I'm talking about before I send them mail.)
