[Marouen MRAIHI]

The problem happens when you try to access to a file after the queries.

  Please see below the message from our Information-Communication Officer, re. the ODS : 

  I did not try the ODS site on Macintosh, but I did try it on PC, and I can affirm that it is not right that the system works only on Internet Explorer. 

  I tried it on the following browsers : 
  - Internet Explorer 
  - Netscape 
  - Fast Browser 
  - and the open source software : Mozilla Firefox 

  All of these softwares can display the site and the same results for the queries requested. 

  The only problem that I saw was with a browser called "Opera", which has not a very large number of users, and which can display the first pages of the ODS site , but instead of the result of the research, it displays the following error message : "Notes error: Query is not understandable".

  I tried with Opera. Fine for browsing, but when it came to accessing
  documents (Java), server timed out. I insisted and ABRACADABRA, it
  opened!!!!

  On Mac using various browsers I can search but cannot access 
  documents.  Does seem to be javascript.

  Welcome page says:

  "The ODS is a multilingual system. Therefore, it requires 
  UNICODE-based Internet browsers, such as MS Internet Explorer 5.5, 
  Netscape 6.21 or higher versions. For access to the ODS, please 
  ensure that your Internet browser complies with this requirement."

  I try to use Safari and Firefox.
