Is the latest Netscape version supported on *nix, 4.x??? I'm not positive of the answer, but I doubt it. I never develop anything with Netscape 4.x in mind anymore.... a huge waste of time... not to mention the headaches. Sometimes you just gotta let go :-) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:I have to disagree with Craig on the issue of banishing ns4. We are all working on a *nix box. There are not many choices besides mozilla or ns.

Are you experiencing performance problems with only pages containing nested tables? The issue with nested tables has been fixed in Netscape 7. Try this browser to see if the performance issues go away. Vinh -----Original Message----- From: Craig R.

For example, the peformance difference from running JSP pages with lots of custom tags (i.e. your typical Struts-based app) on current Tomcat 4.1.x releases, versus older ones, is nothing short of amazing due to improvements in the JSP page compiler. But these issues would cause visible performance differences for all browsers, not just Netscape 4.7.x. > Has anyone determined what causes this problem and how to resolve it? > I'm aware that Netscape has a difficult time rendering nested tables, > which we have minimized, however, other than use of Struts taglibs, > there are no differences between the pages I am using now and the ones I > have that do not use Struts, except that the non-struts ones perform > much better in Netscape. > You're probably not going to like my advice, but IMHO Netscape 4.x should be banished from the list of browsers supported by modern webapps. Besides the performance related issues you allude to (which a server side framework can't really do anything about), 4.x support for CSS and JavaScript is pretty hideous. > Any advice would be greatly appreciated. > > Thanks, > > Scott Carter > Craig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
