Hi I was guessing that was the reason when you first said the JavaScript link. Why would I test it with Netscape? I wouldn't. Waste of time to be honest. The president of Netscape told me that their Netscape browser doesn't work.

Okay, is this a race to get into a bit-bucket? How about, oh, Opera for OS X, iCab, lynx, Netscape, Mozilla? (there are about 20 Mil pissed off MacOS users just around the corner...) You see, PHP is a language that is installed and used on a *very* large number of platforms, many of which that IE can't even hope to support. If you offered patches to PHP, to be applied if needed, or used closed source, for win32 folks, only, that could help your product. If your openly contribue your product to the PHP source, with the understanding that it will *fail* on many browsers, for many users, but were intending on fixing that problem, that could help. As it is, your source is broken, on at least 3 browsers. And you don't seem to be opening it up for repair. And you don't seem to intend to fix it. How does it help PHP to add standards-damaging (or standards breaking) code into the code base? Can't you just add it as a layer to pear? -Bop --2D426F70|759328624|00101101010000100110111101110000 ron@opus1.com, 520-326-6109, http://www.opus1.com/ron/ The opinions expressed in this email are not necessarily those of myself, my employers, or any of the other little voices in my head.
