While I won't argue about it's being outdated, etc, it does work. Regardless if it being outdated, that version is still what ships with RedHat, I just never installed it because I figured the later editions of Netscape would at least be backward compatible. Really strange that the older one works better than the new ones. I assume the guys at RedHat aware of this thus not shipping the latest version of Netscape. I wonder if this problem will be fixed in Netscape 7.x, or Mozilla 1.0? Don't they use the same engines? > 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...

Isn't that the case with everything. :) It's still a MS world, but I am doing my part to change that, and so is Sun. ;) > 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... :) No problem I completely understand. Although I was just not sure if you all were aware of it. Obviously you are so I will shut up now and enjoy the flavor of my foot. :) Otherwise I do like the new architecture, I can't remember the name, but I do like it.
