I have been wondering about that. I saw the JavaScript work going into the browser, but thought, "Surely they don't have a layout engine that can cope yet?" Most of the JS I've ever encountered is there for no better purpose than producing flashy page transitions (a classic example of style over substance, and the bane of the web), so presumably NetSurf isn't much use at those yet. I do hope it at least does something about the perennial curse of "Warning: button could not be activated", though. Presumably mostly for the benefit of these people: http://securityreactions.tumblr.com/post/33891938791/but-we-sanitize-input-with-javascript -- __<^>__ / _ _ \ It is written that Geeks shall inherit the Earth.
