I'm not very experienced webscripter,
but in my humble opinion:
1. Why bother having a standards organization?
2. Isn't that what microsoft targets: embrace, enhance, extinguish (cfr.
haloween) (not my ethics)
Since
- NS4x is still in the stats
- DYNAPI is a cross-browser dhtml lib
- Some web applications require dhtml
I think NS4 should still be supported, BUT of course im not too aware of
how much of a pain Netscape is for dhtml ...

# Subject: [Dynapi-Dev] Netscape 6 discussion
#
#
# Just reading an article on freshmeat (thanks to
# www.scottandrew.com) about
# Linux problems with a good browser.. mainly targeting Mozilla.
#
# Then started thinking, I was a huge fan of Netscape..
# operative word: WAS.
# After trying out IE5 I got annoyed by Netscape's browser:
# it's so huge.
#
# I then read about Mozilla, being a faster browser using the
# super-fast gecko
# engine (raved about by many sites and magazines). But when
# the first few
# milestones rolled out I was very dissapointed. Now NS6 is out
# and a few new
# milestones have been released, but it's still one big
# application that I
# don't need.
#
# How many of you out there are using Mozilla, and why? Is it
# just because you
# "hate" Microsoft? or is there really something I'm missing. Also for
# professional webdesigners out there, are you targeting ALL
# browsers, or just
# ignoring the Netscape "things" ?
#
# Another question (full of them today :-) is that everyone
# wants standards..
# so why rave about Mozilla supporting the W3C standards perfectly? If
# Netscape stops, it means that Internet Explorer (win32) is
# the standard
# (almost there already I think) Sure, again Microsoft will be
# controlling
# things, but once IE is the standard, a smart company like
# Opera can easily
# move into that area, making there browser 100% IE compatible,
# and work from
# there. We now have 2 very distinct Netscape browsers and
# Internet Explorer
# and MS will not support other peoples standards..it's not the
# way they work.
#
# Leading to my real question: should DynAPI keep supporting "old" 4.x
# browsers? is there any need for it?
