Hi folks,
The page to find you MP by postal code has changed:
http://www2.parl.gc.ca/Parlinfo/Compilations/HouseOfCommons/MemberByPostalCode.aspx?Language=E&Menu=HOC&PostalCode=B2W2X6This breaks my lookup function. It also breaks links on sites for
numerous advocacy organizations. Some have error messages revealing
they were doing the same thing as me.
The positive is that the information is contained in the URL, so you
can search for a postal code, and actually send the link to someone.
The person receiving the page won't be greeted to an empty form, but
to the actual information that was meant.
This could be a sign of clued-in behaviour. Unfortunately, the page
doesn't work properly in Firefox. That's 40% of people on this list.
Sigh. You're only entitled to see information if you use a
monopolists' insecure browser.
I'll see how much work needs to be done to repair my lookup
function... hopefully not too much!
Cheers,
Daniel.
PS: Who is moderator for the list? I've got a letter stuck in limbo :)
