Thanks tranquilo.

This is good. The engineers are ahead of schedule, and it could mean a 1.0 Final Release before Christmas.

Well........ anybody tried it?

 

Seems to be stable enough so far....will know more after a few weeks usage. Doesn't seem to support Flash plugin tho', Macromedia site doesn't recognize browser

 

Mozilla with flash 6 works fine here... all you need is the "NPSWF32.dll" file for flash. If you use the netscape installer, it should work.

Perhaps this page will help...

Thanks! It seems to do the trick.

Now this is an old gripe of mine, but there still seems to be compatability probs with cascading style sheets, frames, etc. Latest version doesn't display some images and or tables correctly. Maybe I have to do a clean install, i.e. remove Mozilla, NS, and then try Mozilla again. I guess there never will be 100% compatability and pages displayed in IE will never appear the same in NS and vice versa. Who's to blame.....that I would like to know

 

Moz. 9.9 worked great. Clean install of 1.0, not. Error code "can't find starting point ". So I'll stick with 9.9 for now.

 

Dr. JB,

I guess there never will be 100% compatability and pages displayed in IE will never appear the same in NS and vice versa. Who's to blame.....that I would like to know.

Blame the web authors who use proprietary IE codes/tags, then complain like heck to them that their pages are not W3C compatible.

Thanks a lot my friend I guess I would fall in that group, as I'm using FrontPage 2002 to design my site. Unfortunately, due to the fact that the majority of web users use IE, I have to design my site to be viewed only with IE. To create dual pages is just too much work and complicated, especially if the site contains over 800 pages!

A simple example....maybe I shouldn't, as you'll only complain like heck Ok, compare the following url in both browsers.

You'll see that in IE the bottom frame has a nice grey border with the textured backgound inside it. In NS...well, the border is all wrong

I don't even wanna think when it comes to Opera, etc! Oh well, guess can't have it all.

 

Hey Dr.JB,

Actually, your page worked best in Opera 6.01! There was no sound file, however.

Ramona

 

So you are using Opera? Ok, maybe you can do me a favor and check this out. The previous example did not include the sound frame, so here is a full page

This page may take a little while to load, due to the flash movie containing the soundclip. Your thoughts would be appreciated. To everyone else, sorry....know I (we) are off-topic here

 

Dr.JB,

Let's take this to PM, OK? I'll give you results there!
