> Think about what you just said... Umm... no... I spent the afternoon debugging my pages because netscape isn't as forgiving as ie. I don't feel like thinking anymore.
I guess that makes me a bad programmer though, and unprofessional. I use ie only here on the intranet because I don't have to spend time searching through the piles of code that I have looking for that forgotten table tag and its nice features that I can get to work the first time. If you love netscape, good for you. I don't, I know a LOT of people who don't, and it's an inferior product for that reason alone. No, I haven't read the w3 standardization for css or html or javascript or whatever. I have to spend my time pushing code out the door for production purposes. I don't even use stuff that is ie-only. I have a 1998 O'Reilly javascript book that I use and everything in it works on ie except where it says it won't. > I keep screaming for a <makeWebSiteHere/> tag too, but nobody > listens....sigh. Oh, gosh, you're right. I wish I had a tag that does that also, but instead, I'll use ie, which saves me a lot more tedious tag-searching work than ns ever did. So, you're right. Sometimes I forget to put </html> at the end of my page. Sometimes I forget to fully qualify my scopes when writing javascript and my css doesn't work. These are the things that I use that make netscape break into pieces. You're defending this?

Sure it's a headache, and so are all those old Canadian drivers who come down here every winter. Doesn't mean they are going away, nor do I want them to.

AOL 8.0 is going to use the Gecko rendering engine.

I keep screaming for a <makeWebSiteHere/> tag too, but nobody listens....sigh. jon ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
