Current goals as I understand them:   1) Fix all know bugs in IE 4.x &5.x and NS 4.x on PC and MAC (linux?) 2) Ensure that all code works (consistantly) with IE 4.x &5.x and NS 4.x on PC and MAC (linux?) 3) Implement WC3 DOM support using NS6 as a test basis   4) and THEN we tackle improving size and speed 5) release "official" DynAPI 2.0 FINAL version. 6) figure out what we do for our next trick.   Doug Melvin   Please excuse my previous rants if they hurt yer head alittle, I'm a very big bitch without my coffe (had coffe x2.. fell much better now.. :-)  ) ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 12, 2001 1:02 PM Subject: [Dynapi-Dev] Re: [ dynapi-Patches-407882 ] Browser.js Recommended Upgrade From looking at the code that is in the current browser.js file we attempt to do at least 2 things: 1.  identify the browser 2.  identify the platform Here are the problems that I see.  We only support MSIE or NS, so why do allow for browsers that spoof, such as Opera, to get by?  Why not explicity detect them so that we can alert that they are not supported?  When we attempt to detect the platform we are using methods that are almost guaranteed to fail. I'm not saying that the entire thing should be included, but at the least shouldn't we fix the most obvious problems which have an effect on the way in which the DynAPI works? BTW, since I can't seem to find a list of the CURRENT GOALS, can someone post them to the list for me.  I would like to learn more about them and see what can be done to meet them before the future becomes the past and we get stuck in the present.   --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free by AVG Free Edition Download at: http://www.grisoft.com/html/us_index.cfm Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
