This is from Mom, who's using IE 7:
One of the things that I can no longer do is track a shipment via SAIA Freight. The message I get when I put in the tracking number is: "Sorry, your browser doesn't support IFRAMES. The page would be visible here if you were using an IFRAME capable browser. We recommend using Internet Explorer."

Any idea on what I can do (undo) to fix this?

Thanks, in advance, for any help!
Mom
I've already tried Googling this, but it seems everything I find is geared toward HTML/web authors on how to design pages properly, not end-users stuck viewing such pages...

Can anyone help Mom with this issue?

Thanks,
Eliezer
 
Are there any indications of spyware on the system? (It might be a good idea to scan anyway). I suspect a Reset (on the Internet Options, Advanced tab), will resolve the problem, but the big question is the "why". My gut feel is that you're seeing a browser hijacking behind the scenes.
 
Thanks, Smah... Before I go back to Mom with the report that her computer is infested [nosmiley], does anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks,
Eliezer
 
May be the site she's visiting has a javascript function that is in charge to detect the browser used that is a little bit to old to know IE7.
As the function doesn't recognize the browser, an error is send...

Hope that help.
