What do you want?
Netscape to be IE 5.5 compatible???
Netscape 6 supports the DOM in a way far more compatible with the CSS
guidelines than either Netscape 4 or IE 5.
This does unfortuneately mean that code that worked in Nutscrape 4 and ie 5
probably wont work in NS6
If coded correctly accoring to the CSS standards, code that works in NS6
should normally work ok in IE5...
I agree this is a big hassle for developers, but if everyone can work to the
same standard, surely this is far better in the long run...
Cheers

Dylan,
I've seen Netscape 6 in action and I almost jumped out of my skin. Sites
that had working DHTML for Netscape 4.X
don't seem to work with Netscape 6. Maybe there is an option you need to
turn on in Netscape 6, but I'm not sure.
In my opinion, the Netscape browser lacks in support of DHTML as well as
overall browser performance.
On another note, your 3-layer DHTML menu sounds interesting. Is it on a
public domain site that we could peek at?
Thanks.
Mike
