I understand what you mean -- we have to design for what's out there, not
|
|
what we wish was out there. Nevertheless, Netscape is so broken that it
|
|
will *crash* on certain CSS inputs. Not render them wrong, crash. Thud.

I have EVERY hope that this will happen. (Please please please...)
|
|
|
|
And it'll be using Python, too. (Right?)

The one reason I like Opera (I'm not using it now because I'm a cheapskate):
|
|
it fully and nearly correctly supports the keyboard. Oh, it's CSS is better
|
|
than anything else, but like you said I don't code for the best, I code for
|
|
_everything_.
|
|
|
|
>(I'll be REALLY happy when they port Opera to AmigaOS 5.)
|
|
|
|
Hmm, would that be because of Opera or because of AmigaOS 5? (The current
|
|
version is OS 4.)
|
|
|
|
Are there many Amiga Python users out there?
