<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">The ridiculous thing with the IAA Web site is that the landings page actively blocks non-IE browsers and prevents them from displaying the data.<br>
I am able to routinely check landing times by using View Source and searching for the flight number of interest.<br>
If you ask me, I'd look for a conspiracy theory there - such as a secret agreement with Microsoft to continue to block non-IE browsers.<br>
