I'm no browser wizard -- just took a few stabs over the past year & a half
|
|
at writing some relatively simple Java applets, JavaScript and HTML for the
|
|
amusement of my family. No CSS, no frames, nothing at all even remotely
|
|
cutting-edge. One Netscape-using sister had dozens of problems with *all*
|
|
of these, most eventually determined to be cases of NS not meeting the
|
|
appropriate std, and-- far too often --crashing her machine.
|
|
|
|
Fact is NS dropped the browser ball a couple years ago, then poked holes in
|
|
it, then attached industrial-strength vacuum cleaners on the off chance any
|
|
air remained.

Hey, I'll close a stinking GUI any way I can <wink>.
