When I go to this website http://forrent.com/ I can not see what I type in the boxes I know what I type is their but I can not see it. Also the information in the drop down list like the the states doesn't appear. How do I resolve this

I tried Firefox and Opera and couldn't get that site to work correctly either.

I noticed it's coded in Flash. AFAIK, linux supports Flash up to v.7 -- so I it must be a v.8 or above. Probably need windoze to use it.

Could it be the way you configure the fonts and background colors in your browsers?

For me it looks that that site was designed with a windows-based template of a flash designer program, which causes this issue in non-MS browsers.

Firefox has an option to report sites that do not work well. It should be under "Help", in Firefox menu.

The idea of that report is to provide an "evangelist" team of Firefox with information about the problematic website, and that team would contact the webmaster/webdesigner of the problematic website, aiming to fix the issue.

Hmm, it works perfectly in Firefox, but not in Opera.
