Netscape and Win2k Autodial Trouble
With Win95 and 98 and using NS 4.7x with dial-up networking (modem) upon double clicking Netscape's icon my dialer pops up. It happens with IE also. With Windows 2000 when I launch IE my dialer pops up. It won't work with NS and I like this feature as it saves keystrokes. With 2000 I can't get this to happen reliably after setting the auto dial and auto connection service to automatic. No matter if the services are on or off, IE will pop up a dialer. If they are on and you use Netscape then it either works right or when Windows starts it prompts to auto dial without any programs starting up. Because I am unable to track down what is causing this to happen, I would like to find a resource to give me a registry tweak or other solution to make the auto dial feature perform just the way it does with Netscape and Win 98. No browser, no dialer window. It's frustrating because just when I get it working I'll start Windows and there's that annoying dialer. When I launch NS the dialer pops up. Turn off the services, restart Windows, no dialer prompt but also no connection when I use NS yet double-click IE and up pops a dialer window. Sorry for babbling. I just got real used to these features with '95 and '98. Any suggestions?

Suggestion for a new feature, that I suppose would become post-1.0: The ability to define/create bookmark groups, or to be able to define certain already existing bookmark folders in such a way so that all of the URL's within would open on one click in individual tabs (at the same time).

Tab destruction...
Hallo folks, I just noted the following behavior with Mozilla 0.9.6 (compiled from source by me): If I have multiple tabs open in a single Mozilla window, and one tab tries to close itself using JavaScript, the whole window is closed. Of course, the document shown in the tab doesn't know that it runs inside a tab, it assumes that it is running in its own window, which it attempts to close. Thefore, I think a change in Mozilla would probably be a good idea, so that any one page being displayed in a tab only closes *its own tab* and leaves the rest of the window (=the other tabs) intact. If this has already been brought to attention by someone else, I'm sorry for bringing this up again, however, if not, I thought that someone might want to deal with this - I don't think that it's urgent, but I guess it would make more sense if Mozilla would behave as outlined above. Greetings Nils

Re: DOM Inspector enabled in mozilla nightly builds
Joe Hewitt wrote: As of tonight, the DOM Inspector tool will be built by default on all three major platforms and included in the nightly builds (Mozilla only). Fantastic! I would have to say that the DOM Inspector, combined with Venkmann, make Moz the ultimate tool for web developers. The two make Moz so insanely great, it's making me froth at the mouth! See!

Re: XML not rendered
Nicolás Lichtmaier wrote: What Mozilla is doing now isn't more correct than what explorer does. Oh, I don't know about that. Web browsers apply somthing approaching the W3C's suggested style to HTML makrup when rendering it, which is obviously a good thing. But no-one as specified a default style for XML markup, precisely because you can't know how to render arbitary content. If, however you are dealing with a well known and supported doctype, like SVG, MathML or similar, one which has defined style, then Moz is justified in rendering it using that style. And all things being equal, Explorer's behaviour is far more useful. Initially, if you're trying to view an XML document, yes. But something like the DOM inspector is far more useful for rendering arbitary XML content, IMHO. -- Mike Gratton [EMAIL PROTECTED] Leader in leachate production and transmission since 1976. http://web.vee.net/
Re: XML not rendered
Michael Gratton wrote: Ranjit Mathew wrote: It would be quite nice (REALLY nice) if Moz could apply a default XSL to XML files that do not supply one. That shouldn't be too hard. I dunno, it seems much more correct to not have a default, because unless you *do* specify a stylesheet, style for arbitrary XML is inherently undefined. Undefined means that browsers can do whatever they like with it. MSIE does whatever it likes with it; it shows it as a collapsible tree. Mozilla does whatever it likes with it; it shows it as stream of text. The tree rendering is clearly more useful than the stream of text rendering. Therefore MSIE's behavior is more correct. But to be able to configure one if needed, either through the Preferences, via a hidden pref or using something like userContent.css would be cool. ...

Re: New Features Wanted
True enough! That is completely understandable! Besides, one can use other alternatives anyway! Like why would Microsoft put in all this unnecessary crap in their browser anyway? Konqueror in the K Desktop Environment is another of such example! Full Decent wrote: 3. Improve File Manager Capabilities How? By allowing users to view information on hard drives. By adding a tab that will allow users to view all the folders in the hard drive. By allowing users to move, copy, and delete some of the files.

Mozilla ActiveX control
Hi, I am trying to use the mozilla activeX control. It always crashes (both release and debug - using 0.9.6 build) when I go to run a sample MFC dialog application with the control embedded in it. There is no other code other than the insertion of the control. It works on my desktop and crashes on a laptop (both run win2k version: 5.00.2195). Can anyone give me hints as to what could be wrong? If this is not the right newgroup for this post - kindly point me to the right one. Thanks.

Hotmail attachment downloads? (Mozilla 0.95 problem)
I tried downloading an attachment yesterday through Mozilla 0.95 from my Hotmail account. As soon as I did, Hotmail asked me for my password, as it occasionally does if the connection gets lost or my login times out. When I type it in and submit it, I get asked for my password again (and again, and again). However, as soon as I load Netscape 4 up and try the same thing, the attachment downloads on the first time. Anyone else experience this problem? Will it be fixed in a future milestone release? Will Mozilla ever become functional enough that I won't have to keep Netscape 4 or IE lying around to use whenever I want to make sure I can actually do something on the web? :-( I like Mozilla a lot better than its two main competitors, but it has yet to demonstrate that it can fully replace either of them by being a fully functional browser. :( Erik Harris eharris1@rocheste$.$$.com http://w3.to/erikICQ: 2610172 Chinese Martial Arts Assoc @ Cornell: http://w3.to/CMAAC/ To avoid Spam-bots, my address at the top is INCORRECT.

Bookmark icons don't persist
I just noticed that the icons don't seem to persist between sessions. I had imagined that once established (e.g., Hotmail butterfly, NYTimes curly T), they'd stay on the drop-down menu. Surely that is the intent, isn't it?
Compose MHTML with Mozilla mail
Hi, If I create a MIME message and put HTML text (multipart/alternative) in it, I am able to get the old Netscape 4.xx to pop up a new message window with the following command: netscape -compose MyMimeMail.eml It will take the file MyMimeMail.eml and put it in the body (whether text or HTML) of the e-mail, let user edit it and send it. Is there a way to do the same thing for Mozilla? Any help is appreciated. TIA, Dusan
