I strongly recommend firing you webmasters and finding a team that actually know how to write to web standards. I wanted to order a drill, but the javascript returned an unreadable quote.

funny my mac runs this site with no problem you still on system 7?

We have a Mac and sears.com and its related sites all work as well on it as on any other computer. My guess is it's your computer, and not the website.

thanks for your response. I think it's javascript. what javascript version do you publish?

I have no idea. I'm not a sears.com IT pro or webmaster. I'm just a guy from a store. :)

Exactly why you should not comment. Hey, we're both guys, but I need a real answer from an IT Geek, OK?

Very glad to hear it, but if I were running a 15 +year old system, I would also expect compatibility  with 15 year old * IE and Javascript

Let us all know how the Lowes site works out for you.

Wow, thanks for the rudeness. You said explicitly that by virtue of your computer being a Mac, the Sears sites would not work properly. Two people have since shown this to be incorrect. I don't need to know which Javascript version they're using to know that I'm using a Mac, and that he's using a Mac, and that you're using a Mac. And I don't need to know which version of js is being used to know that if one person claims Macs can't parse sears.com and two Macs CAN parse it, that the claim is not correct, and that there is some other incompatibility going on. You asked me a question to which I didn't know the answer. I didn't proffer a solution, I proffered an alternative. But, if snarkiness is your raison d'etre, don't let me get in your way.

Hi webman-Welcome to MySears.  If you are having issues with Sears.com, here is a link with their webmaster information.  Please let them know-they are always looking for feedback from users:

I think people just start threads like this to wait for a sears employee to answer and then pounce on them.  So rude and unnecessary! At least Blue took time out to attempt to help you even though your original post was just to complain.

If you are running a 15 year old computer system, YOU do not have equipment capable of performing to "standards.

 Xhtml and XML weren't around... 15 years ago.

And, Flash 10 on a 15 year old system?

I don't think so.

bah beat em to it adam

Okay?

What?

Did I say something "good"?

Hard to tell when you say so much. I guess there must be SOME good!

Well said, Mr. Blue. He is rude. must be from my neck of the woods

Yaa...

Some posts are better than others...

You've come off as rude yourself at times. Nobody is perfect. Oh, you were talking about being a frequent poster. Yeah.

This site is formatted pretty poorly. I couldnt imagine ever giving my money to those commies and buying a mac but they should look into this guys complain

Rude?

Me?

No...

I don't do well when personally attacked, though.

apple are commies now?

Apple's headquarters is right down the road from me.

And... I don't live in "commy" land.

Well. California.

That's more of a tree-hugging place, than political.

If you  outsource more than 70% of your business to commies, than your a commie.

cool were a communist country now guys.

BTW when did mexico go communist? thats where my last 2 macs were assembled least thats north america. wheres this china place thats written on the side of my brothers dell(and 90% of the stuff weve bught from sears kmart target walmart... you get the idea

Then, technically, there isn't a single computer you would be able to buy, because they're all made by "commies." You also can't buy televisions, telephones, video game systems, DVD players, or power tools. That is, if you don't want to support the "commies."

It's hard for me to think of a business like "Sony" as a political entity.

It's a BUSINESS!

Bad news...

The Lowes site uses Transitional xhtml 1.0, too.

There is a plethora of Javascript code, from the get-go, on the site.

CSS layers are used on the various drop-down menus.

I don't think your machine is going to have much better "success" over to the Lowes site.

I dont use anything I didnt make myself. With good old american parts and good ole american sweat.

Other than this computer. And i stole it so those commies didnt get any of my blood

blood? wouldnt it be easier to pay in cash?
