IE 4 made Netscape 4 look like a piece of crap. It was light-years ahead. I'm getting the impression that the other browsers have caught up but I refuse to develop for them unless made to.
Questions: Have the other browsers caught up with ease and power of their scripting? Do any of them have an XMLHTTP equivalent? Do they share a common DOM? I hate writing cross browser code. Supporting multiple browsers is like having to test and write every application in Java, VB, and C. Chad -----Original Message----- From: Frank W.

I do know for sure that they were originally an IE-only extension, so if Mozilla does support it, it represents a very rare case of Microsoft leading the pack :) I'm not sure about the object tag idea... I've never seen it used that way but that certainly doesn't mean it won't work. My understanding is that it embeds content in a page that is recognized by one plug-in or another... I suspect it wouldn't help in this case, but I could be wrong. Now, if there is a way that I don't know about to target a layer, that could do the trick. -- Frank W.
