From Britol City Council’s PublicAccess for Planning page:
Please note that the documents within PublicAccess can only be accessed by using Internet Explorer. This is due to a limitation within the system which has been raised with the suppliers.
Not good enough. Here’s form I knocked-up in about 2 minutes that gives users of other browsers access to associated planning documents. The associated documents are things like supporting letters, photographs, a copy of the application form etc.
Enter a planning application number to view any supporting documents.

It works in FF now. Sadly the same system is used by almost all councils in the country, and some of them have not been updated to allow non-ie browsers – how did you make your form?

I hate Natwest Online Banking because it insists that Chrome isn’t compatible with it… If only they just let me choose for myself what browser I use, thanks very much! They let Safari through and it’s largely the same WebKit engine — in fact, I wonder of the original KHTML engine in an unmasked Konqueror is allowed through… Which brings me to another point of mine — I can’t find any detailed config settings in Chrome, for god’s sake! We need to be able to mess with things like user agent strings… Not to mention the lack of an extension API. Oh well. I like Chrome because it’s fast, but I might be sticking to Opera or Firefox, because despite FF’s loading times I still like having Adblock and Flashblock.
Rant over.
