Starting with the release of Netscape 1.0, until MS decided to take it away from them. At one time they owned 95%+ of the browser market. It was standard practice at that time for web sites to be designed for - and only work properly with - NS; questions asked on the wwww groups were routinely answered with solutions that only worked in NS; "cross-platform" testing meant making sure your pages worked in NS on both the Mac and Windows. > Netscape was never the 800 lb gorilla.

As I already stated, Netscape wasn't as good at the game as MS. <mike -- Mike Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
