No, what will happen is that designers will drop support for Netscape 4.x
and code only one page that works for IE4.x, IE5.x, IE6.x and NN6.x.

I know IE4.x does not support a lot of features, but I really, really
promise that bloating your web page drives people away from your site, not
toward it.  I don't want drop down menus on a web site, honestly I swear
someone is not making me say this...has anyone ever used a web drop down
menu they liked?

DHTML Question

[Greg Breland]

I have been researching DHTML in Mozilla and IE5.5 for about a week now and
I have been unable to find the solution to a couple of questions.  I would
very much appreciate any help offered.

1) Are there any good DHTML resources for Mozilla?  The best I found was
http://developer.netscape.com but this had very little Mozilla info and a
lot of NN4.x stuff.

2) The following code works in Mozilla, but not in IE5.5:

window.document.onmousemove = mousemove;
function mousemove(event){
  vartmp = event.clientX
}

The following works in IE5.5 but not Mozilla:

window.document.onmousemove = mousemove;
function mousemove(){
  vartmp = event.clientX
}


Which one is correct or is there a way to do this so the same code works in
both Mozilla and IE5.5?  The full page that works with Mozilla is located
at:

RE: Idea: "Download History" log file/button

[Greg Breland]

XUL should really help implement a lot of browser "helper" tools like this.
I think just making a download tab on the sidebar that shows all files that
are currently being downloaded as well as all files that were downloaded in
the past X days would be a great feature.  I hate having 4 extra apps in my
task bar for file downloads.  

I think the screen shot from icab look great.  Is there already an
enhancement bug on this?
