It's all in how the browsers interpret the Javascript bits that are included in parts of the UI (for in-form validation, etc). > This is not really a complaint, it's more giving feedback to the Cobalt > guys as to how the web interface performs on some Linux browsers. Has > anyone else experienced this funkiness? Is there a solution? I personally use Netscape 4.7x on Linux and Solaris, and it works very well. While I won't argue about it's being outdated, etc, it does work. All our development people use Linux on their workstations as far as I know, so they are pretty well aware of what limitations are out there regarding the UI and browsers... I think it comes down to the critical mass issue - making it work the best in the browser(s) that are most dominant in the end-user world... given the amount of time (and therefore $$) it takes to run a full QA cycle for each browser on each product UI, it's hard to financially justify testing some of the less-popular browsers, regardless of what our personal preferences might be... :) -- Bruce Timberlake Sun Cobalt Technology Engineer Sun Microsystems, Inc. _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
