I'm runnung OSX Panther 10.3.9 on an Ibook. Now everyone i know with a similar spec mac machine can access this site ( http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk ) on their Macs with all known browsers IE, Firefox , Safari ect, but i cannot. A dialogue box just comes up with message, 'Orderflag is not defined at line 28'. This happens on every browser i use, Firefox and Safari on my machine. I have updated Java, but apparently its nothing to do with that. It is an OS issue. Can anyone help me?
Got a tip for us?

Maybe it's an issue with your ISP. Maybe give them a call to see if they know what's going on. FWIW, I get through fine.

Just phoned my ISP provider and they they say there is nothing that could be blocking my access to that site from their end

Can you take your ibook to a starbucks or somewhere and use their internet access just to test out whether its your laptop or the ISP as mad jew said. Does sound like an ISP issue though...or a very odd and random OS issue.

It cant be my ISP because freind of mine with a power mac with same ISP company can also access it fine
That doesn't necessarily mean it isn't the ISP though. I strongly recommend checking out a coffee shop's connection or even your neighbour's (ask first), just to make sure.

I've just remembered that i took my Ibook to my freinds house , who is with a totaly differant ISP company, plug into his ISP and i remembered that i couldn't access the site there either

So how do you clear the cache in OSX? and would having Norton anti virus/firewall running have anything to do with this little problem?
Well i've just de-installed Norton anti virus and firewall and that seems to have cured the problem
By way of explanation, if anyone is interested, Norton Firewall was obviously intercepting some data along the way and interfering with it in some way--preventing a connection, stripping out something it didn't like, delaying something, whatever. This apparently caused that site's weird sripts (it has some sort of "loading" screen for each page) to get data they weren't expecting, and therefore generate an error.
Yet another reason to believe that Norton causes more problems than it fixes.
