Yes, you are surely right about that - but it isn't the point. The point is,
not can
browsers *show* them, but will HTML sites *use* them?
Increasingly, professionally designed pages, and also pages made by using
HTML editors, will be using CSS2 instead of deprecated tags.
For a while there might be "no styles" buttons, just as you used to see "no
frames"
buttons, now rare. However, if there is no "no styles" button, because
sooner
or later such buttons will become rare, then a browser that doesn't support
CSS will show a steadily increasing percentage of pages in unformatted plain
text with pictures in odd places, and tables all out of kilter.
Ditto for Javascript - that's why it's so good that V is getting better at
that all
the time.
As for JAVA, I don't think the problem is so serious. So far as I can see,
the
proportion of pages using Java is not increasing. I suspect that Java would
run
too slowly on 68K Amigas.
I'm puzzled by continual references to V locking up all the time. I
almost never get crashes or freeze ups on V. I am using straight
OS3.9 with hardly anything attached, e.g. no directory opus, or keyboard
hacks, etc. I only installed MUI because I had to to make V work.
Perhaps V is interfering with some commonly used keyboard hack or
something. For example, wouldn't it be ironic if it is snoopdos or
enforcer that is causing it.
