It does not support those damn self-made layers. Correct. <layer> was in the (not very) great tradition of tag soup, and was not adopted as standard for this reason. Since Netscape 6's overriding obsession, often to the expense of more important issues like UI, is standards it doesn't support old cruft like this. > It does not support W3C standard CSS-driven layers as well. If you're going to speak, at least make sure you know what you're talking about. It's called the DOM, and Netscape 6/Mozilla has better support for it than MSIE. Many people just assume Netscape Mozilla does not support DHTML (as they call it), because they use document.all, a proprietary Microsoft object no more standard than Netscape's layers. Netscape does not support this, it supports the DOM, and better than MSIE does. > It does not support many more good things known to everyone. Like what? You mean like SVG? Like MathML? Like RDF? Like XML? Like full HTML4? Like the DOM? Like more, and better, CSS than any other browser? In fact, like what precisely? > Netscape 6 is not the product to support by now. > Don't even try. Unless you want people to actually read your pages rather than going somewhere else. Unless you want to write code that will stand the test of time because it's based on standards rather than proprietary stuff like document.all. Unless you don't think you have the right to tell people that they must change their browser to view your pitiful little page. > Read this instead: > http://www.oreilly.com/news/flanagan_1100.html But realise that while it tells the truth that Netscape 6 is beta- quality in that it has some big holes and shouldn't have been released quite so soon (although in fact *all products* have big bugs in them - it's Mozilla's openness that hurts Netscape), it's a beta of the most complete browser in existence. And read these pages: http://www.richinstyle.com/bugs/mozilla.html http://www.richinstyle.com/bugs/ie5.html and find a more balanced picture. And then go learn the DOM. -- Random fortune Q: How was Thomas J. Watson buried? A: 9 edge down.
