In case it helps anyone, this is the resource that I used to

It tells you everything you need to know about what N6 *deliberately*
won't handle.

Doesn't help you with the N6 bugs of course.

These 2 are also interesting  readable but I don't think they
add anything to what's in the first one:

i've tried four installations and still i can't netscape 6 to load. it
installs fine. but when i launch it, it displays the the splash screen
that says "Netscape 6", the java console loads in my system tray, and
that's all that happens. the process continues to run (using no CPU)
until i end it with Task Manager.

has anyone else had this problem? i'm very eager to see how complient
our software is with Netscape 6, but it helps it would help if i could

RE: Netscape 6 out UGH!!!!

2000-11-15 Thread DeVoil, Nick

 I have basic Javascript in my browser that works completely
 fine in Netscape 4.7. Now Netscape 6 comes out and it doesn't
 work, what is up with that.

I think there are a couple of different issues here.

Firstly, the main reason JS written for NN4.7 won't work in
N6 is that NN4.7 is *hideously* non-standards-compliant.
In fact IE 5.x is fairly non-compliant as well, though not
nearly as badly. Whereas N6 does actually try to implement the
W3C Document Object Model. It was always going to be the case
that when W3C DOM-compliant browsers came out - and this is the
first real attempt at that - we would all have to do a lot of
re-coding.

However, the second issue is that Netscape have completely
forked it up and this is a very poor piece of software.

I first hit this issue back in August when some bright spark
at a client of mine told his boss just as they were about to
launch the site, "Hey! Panic! The DHTML doesn't work on
Netscape 6! That consultant must have been writing non-standard
code!" Even after a bit of "re-education", my relationship with
that client is not back to what it was before, and I don't thank
Netscape for that.

Nick

  IE, while not everyone's most favorite, actually does tolerate developers

  Netscape doesn't allow for that as much. But if you do exactly what it had

 For me, this is the exact reason I stay with Netscape as my primary browser.
 By coding all my HTML and JavaScript for Netscape first, it's much more
 likely to work in IE with no problems than if I did the HTML in IE first and
 then tried to make it work in Netscape also.  There are some situations
 where this is not the case, but 99% of the time it saves me hours of
 development time because I never have to go back and rewrite half my
 HTML/JavaScript to make it compatible with both browsers.
 
 Our entire development team (except me) uses IE as the primary browser, and
 I can't even begin to count the number of times I've heard "!@#$%^*

 Correct me if I am wrong, but mozilla being the very first offical
browser.
 Has set the standard others have to face and is where the w3c use to
filter
 the standards across the board.

I think you mean Mosaic, which was one of the first browsers (anyone
remember Cello?), Mosaic was free but was customised and improved by several
companies including spyglass whose browser later became MS Internet
Explorer. Mosaic was programmed by Marc Andresson (sp?) who later became a
founder of Netscape, when the Netscape browser went open source the
working/code title of the new browser was Mozilla - this is also known as
Netscape 6 although anybody can use the rendering engine to build their own
browser.

As far as Netscape 6 having JavaScript problems, they are almost certainly
caused by code which doesn't conform to standards, it is supposed to be the
most standards compliant browser ever - although until all the reviews and
tests are done I will reserve judgement ;)

I guess it all depends on target market, who the site is developed for

example, building an intranet i know for a fact that everyone in the office
will be using ie, so it doesnt matter what it looks like on netscape

building a website for a company in the middle of farmland may require me to
create a website geared towards IE 3+ and NN 4+ @ 640 x 480 because who
knows what sort of computers they will be using

building a website for a company that sells software at the 400k level may
require me to design it for high bandwith companies, 800 x 600 because
companies with 56k modems probally wont be interested

it all breaks down to who the website is for

this is still a great reference:

2000-11-15 Thread Peter Theobald

I disagree with this so much!

I am confident that my skills to do advanced programming and integration of the newest 
technologies can make a web site much more powerful than any "web tool for dummies." 
I don't base my "job security" on the fact that I know a list of annoying little 
problems that I can avoid quicker than a 13 year old!

It would be a pleasure if web browsers were consistent enough that everything worked 
reliably the first time. Then let the 13 year olds take all the little mom-and-pop web 
sites that only need HTML and the very basic 'shopping cart'. That level of design 
SHOULDNT NEED rocket scientists! The fact that it does is a shame.

 Does any of this really matter? All that they should care about is if there
 browser conforms the W3C specifications so I can count on things to work how

I disagree with this mentality completely.  All browsers should be
standards compliant so that us developers can spend more time doing the
things we are really paid to do: develop kick-ass web-based
APPLICATIONS.  Spending hours tweaking this and that and making
compromises to achieve some semblance of cross-browser display
compatibility is NOT why I am in this business.

RE: Netscape 6 out UGH!!!!

2000-11-15 Thread John McKown

I just cannot stand Nutscrape. Once upon a time, I rooted for them as the
underdog to M$.   But the browser was
outpaced by M$, and the browser war was won.  Over. End of story.
Shortly thereafter, another soon-to-be monopoly (AOL) bought Nutscrape, and
its destiny was charted to certain suckiness.
Netscape was just another advertising platform for AOHELL (like ICQ).
That is when I decided to seriously consider abandoning worry of
cross-browser compatibility.
I agree with the other post that mentioned that ALL browsers should be W3C
compliant.
AOL should spend less time squeezing ads into Netcenter and more time fixing
their browser.
It surprises me that Sun would not come to the rescue of AOHELL and help
them with their JavaScript implementation.

Boardwatch Magazine had a great new tagline for AOL:  "You're so easy to
use, no wonder we are number one"

my 2 cents. :)

RE: Netscape 6 out UGH!!!!

2000-11-15 Thread Lanny R. Udey

Hi,

Our observations are similar to Nicks. All of the issue we had with Netscape 6 ended 
up being our not adhering 100% to the standards. Both Netscape 4.X and IE 5 let much 
not-compliant code pass.

To echo others from the list, the compliance CSS and DOM plus bug fixes for things in 
4.X which drove us nuts, is a definate plus not matter what you think of the company 
and product.

But all of this is rather moot since it will be in the hands of millions of surfers. 
You will need to support it whether you like it or not. My recommendation is bite the 
bullet, make the code comply with the standards and you will be none the worse for 
wear - you are going to have to do it sometime.

Lanny Udey

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wednesday, November 15, 2000 
 I have basic Javascript in my browser that works completely
 fine in Netscape 4.7. Now Netscape 6 comes out and it doesn't
 work, what is up with that.

I think there are a couple of different issues here.

Firstly, the main reason JS written for NN4.7 won't work in
N6 is that NN4.7 is *hideously* non-standards-compliant.
In fact IE 5.x is fairly non-compliant as well, though not
nearly as badly. Whereas N6 does actually try to implement the
W3C Document Object Model. It was always going to be the case
that when W3C DOM-compliant browsers came out - and this is the
first real attempt at that - we would all have to do a lot of
re-coding.

However, the second issue is that Netscape have completely
forked it up and this is a very poor piece of software.

I first hit this issue back in August when some bright spark
at a client of mine told his boss just as they were about to
launch the site, "Hey! Panic! The DHTML doesn't work on
Netscape 6! That consultant must have been writing non-standard
code!" Even after a bit of "re-education", my relationship with
that client is not back to what it was before, and I don't thank
Netscape for that.

Nick

Yes, there is an option on the downloader that will put all the install

first which means you can still burn it to cdr etc. :-)

I installed it on 3 different PCs. I can't get it to work at all on one, it
just GPFs and dies. I've tried reinstalling, deleting all the files and
registry settings, reinstalling again, etc, etc. Still no go.  The second PC
wouldn't work the first time I installed it, similar problem, no GPFs, but
it would hang and would never load. A second reinstall fixed the problem.
Finally the third PC I installed it to, it work the first time. So, you're

Yeah, Internet Explorer.  After installing NS6, clicking on hypertext
links in Outlook email messages start IE, but the page doesn't load.
Also, clicking on the File menu in IE will show you that the "Edit"
option is now set to "Edit with Netscape Navigator."  After uninstalling
NS6, had to go into IE and reset the web settings for it to work
properly again.

The thing that bugged me was the user isn't given an option to not have
any existing defaults changed during installation, NS6 just makes the
changes without asking.

I just downloaded N6 and didn't really see anything wrong with it so far. It
has better support for CSS (a: hover works finally).

But as of yet (last 30 minutes) i haven't seen any mission critical things
with it yet.

Does anyone have any specific examples of things that don't work like they
used to? Like when using js what doesn't work, or websites that used to work
in other browsers that don't in n6?

thanks,
Gavin

On the other hand, I had code that only worked and looked good in IE, and
broke badly in Netscape 4.75.  With 6 it at least looks much more like the
IE, and my DHTML/CSS works in some places, but not quite all the way.  But

RE: Netscape 6 out UGH!!!!

2000-11-14 Thread Jeremy Allen

Netscape 6 is crap, Go get a nightly build of Mozilla..

NO ONE is going to use or support Netscape 6 until they
get it working right, they have not.  It is a huge bloated
marketing tool.

Use Mozilla, its like the directors cut of netscape minus
all the stupid BS like AIM and the AOL Icons on your desktop.

I cant believe honestly that they are shipping this product
in its current state of affairs... I cant see any way
we are going to support NS 6 until they get it working
at least up to par with NS 4.7. I have a huge problem
with AOL and them releasing it.  They have the XUL
application language and they intend for it to be
a programming platform! For once they have went
furhter than microsoft and have taken a simple thing
like a web browswer to new heights of bloat and
un-needed features, Grats AOL!!! So stupid. Anyways

Grab Mozilla M18 renders most of my Javascript DOA as well.
or a nightly build from www.mozilla.org heh the whole
support issue  of it were anyone to take it serious would
be hell, there are nightly builds, milestones, debug
versions, and then you have Netscape 6 which most people
will have :-P Anyways, Until they release a real product
whats the point in supporting it.

 I also hate to tell you that IE and Netscape are based off 
 of the open source Mozilla project which Opera has followed

While I prefer IE to other browsers, I don't think there's anything in IE
which has to do with Mozilla, or open source in general for that matter.

For browser trivia buffs, IE was originally based on the Spyglass browser,
which in turn was based on the original Mosaic browser. At this point,
though, I doubt that there's much Spyglass code left in IE.

RE: Netscape 6 out UGH!!!!

2000-11-14 Thread Stuart Duncan

I hate adding my 2 cents to the same age old debates but here goes...

It's a matter of preference.  Users, surfing... don't notice too much that 
one page works great and another doesn't, or that a webmaster had pulled 
every last hair out of his/her head (or anywhere else) trying to get a web 
site to look the same for every browser.

As developers and designers, we notice the differences the most, and to the 
developers of these browsers, they could probably care less.

IE, while not everyone's most favorite, actually does tolerate developers 
more. It allows for errors. Figures out what you were most likely trying to do.

Netscape doesn't allow for that as much. But if you do exactly what it had 
intended, then it could very well work better than IE.

For me personally, I choose IE... just for the little things... like 
putting a "Height" tag in my tables, and for using "document.image" almost 
universally, instead of having to make sure I list all the layers it may be 
in for Netscape.

Now then, that all said...  you'll notice I didn't mention a version once. 
It's always the same. It always comes down to the same thing. Especially 
since, if read back in this thread about 10 messages or so... none mention 
the version numbers either :)

  IE is based off of Mozilla?

 Have you taken a look at your user_agent string lately?
 
 HTTP_USER_AGENT=Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)

That doesn't mean that IE is based off of Mozilla. It means that it
identifies itself to HTTP servers as compatible with Netscape 4. This
started back when IE first came out; it was common at the time for
server-side code to look at the user agent, and give the user one page if
they had Netscape and another if they had ANYTHING ELSE.

Re: Netscape 6 out UGH!!!!

2000-11-14 Thread Justin Scott

 IE, while not everyone's most favorite, actually does tolerate developers
 more. It allows for errors. Figures out what you were most likely trying
to do.

 Netscape doesn't allow for that as much. But if you do exactly what it had
 intended, then it could very well work better than IE.

For me, this is the exact reason I stay with Netscape as my primary browser.
By coding all my HTML and JavaScript for Netscape first, it's much more
likely to work in IE with no problems than if I did the HTML in IE first and
then tried to make it work in Netscape also.  There are some situations
where this is not the case, but 99% of the time it saves me hours of
development time because I never have to go back and rewrite half my
HTML/JavaScript to make it compatible with both browsers.

Our entire development team (except me) uses IE as the primary browser, and
I can't even begin to count the number of times I've heard "!@#$%^*
Netscape!!" come from someone's desk because they thought the site they've
been working on for days or weeks was done, but low and behold the display
gets all screwy in Netscape and they have to spend another day fixing it.

I see Netscape as the HTML equivalent to coding with "Strict Attribute
Validation" turned on g.

I'm sure that the Microsoft developers would be very surprised to hear
this.  Early versions of both Netscape and IE were both based on the
original NCSA Mosaic code, but those days are long gone.

To be honest I thought it was different, I was under the impression that
Mozilla was an independant team of developers to Netscape, but shared the
resources to achieve the results. I might be wrong, but I recall reading
this somehwere in the gozilla docs!

RE: Netscape 6 out UGH!!!!

2000-11-14 Thread Scott, Andrew

I think it depends a lot on Corporations, in Australia we have standards in
most large corporations ( I would assume the same goes in the USA). These
standards means that until otherwise deemed safe these companies will not
migrate to the latest and greatest. Now take this one step further, most
companies (large ones) sign deals with MS to become a MS house. MS in their
wisdom will tell you you cannot use anything that they have, for example I
have worked in places where I can't use dreamweaver because MS has
frontpage.

However as a developer I hated IExplorer, until IE 4.0 came out. I then
found that to survive netscape needed to start making more standards
available in their browser. They took their time about this and lost a big
slice of the market share, however I think that Netscape 6 may be the answer
to all and until I have had a chance to run it I can't say. But the reports
during beta were positive to say the least.

When developing I always use IE, because I can use it with Studio. Then
during the final stages run through everything with it under Netscape and
then fix anything I need to do. But personally I like what MS have delivered
in IE and await to see Netscapes answer, and it would have to be good to
start to regain the market share that they have lost.

*g* Can't argue with this logic and I agree for the same reasons I left MS
for Netscape during the V3.0 days and later returned back to IE in the V4.0
days and have never switched back. With what I also hear from peoples
comments I don't think its worth it... Although I did check out geko (is
this right) in the earlier days but wasn't impressed at all.

  stinks, Netscape is getting to be as bad, or perhaps even worse now, and
  everyone else went off and pouted because the big boys didn't want to let
  them play ball.  That's too bad - at least the iCab, Opera and a few other

Re: Netscape 6 out UGH!!!!

2000-11-14 Thread Justin Scott

  I see Netscape as the HTML equivalent to coding with "Strict Attribute
  Validation" turned on g.

 I think you mean "lowest common denominator"

Perhaps, but I was referring more to the fact that Netscape points out HTML
problems much more readily than IE does, which forces the coder to follow
standards more strictly than if they had coded everything under IE first.
Similar to the way CF won't let you place extra parameters on tags when that
setting in enabled.  I can think of any number of sites that were coded and
tested exclusively in IE that do a fairly good job of following HTML
standards, but have a few very small problems that Netscape screams about
that IE blows off.

For example, PayPal had a problem on one of their pages that got past their
QA team where a set of radio buttons were all marked as being selected.
Netscape did what it was told, it selected all of them (an obvious coding
error).  In IE, it defaulted the last (or first, I don't remember exactly)
one that was marked and acted as if nothing else was wrong.

I can't remember how many sites I've been to where a page just stops
displaying right in the middle (if at all) because the developer forgot to
close a table tag.

I understand that a good round of testing in both common browsers is pretty
much standard in any web development so that these types of annoying (and
potentially embarassing) errors can be avoided.  My point is basically that
by developing under the more strict environment first, the layout testing
and correction process is much easier, and less time consuming.  I'm not
saying it's a better browser in general, just better for developing under
(in my personal experience anyway).

RE: Netscape 6 out UGH!!!!

2000-11-14 Thread Michael Kear

Well I for one am thankful that it's not a piece of cake to develop
reliable websites.

If it was easy, there'd be a FrontPage that works fine, and we'd be
besieged with 13 year old school kids taking business from us here highly
qualified professionals.

Whenever I'm sitting fretting over something tricky that isn't working
after 3 hours of working on it, I'm reminded of a sage word of wisdom my
father told me ... "No one pays big money for something any fool could
do!"

Nope.  It takes a special kind of fool to do this web site stuff.

 Does any of this really matter? All that they should care about is if there
 browser conforms the W3C specifications so I can count on things to work how
 they are suppose to. Not how they are suppose to according to Microsoft or
 Netscape or any other browser. I thought that's what the whole point of the
 W3C. I just always thought Microsoft did a better job at conforming to these
 standards then Netscape.

 IE is based off of Mozilla? Did I wake up on another planet today? As far as
 I know, thats _defintely_ not the case.
 (Although I prefer IE over Netscape as you do.)

  I also hate to tell you that IE and Netscape are based off of the open
  source Mozilla project which Opera has followed closely with.
  Just because
  it's Microsoft doesn't mean you have to hate it.
