Well very interested in the reply of the KonquerOr people.. are they
interested in the DynAPI supporting them?
We had some great discussions about browser support on this list, and nobody
ever mentioned KonquerOr in
the list of browsers. It's just not a big player, Opera is actually a bigger
player in this scene, although it lacks
alot of good support. As mentioned by others, we haven't seen any
patch..post it to sourceforge, we'll look into it.
Also is there any browser difference between Linux / X11 !? It seems
Netscape on linux runs correctly without having
to detect the difference in linux distributions. It does not ignore linux
platform, if it's not mac or win32, it's linux (or other which
probably refers to X11).

a patch has to be 1. found, 2. checked/tested
we 1. didn't find it, 2. couldn't test it because of 1

That's what we are doing.. we're fixing problems in browsers, not in the
DynAPI, but in the implementation
of DHTML in all the different browsers.. eventually exotic browsers like
KonquerOr will be tackled, but it's
just not one of the biggest players out there (not even on the list I
think).

Ofcourse they didn't work, Sourceforge was parsing the pre html code (even

I fixed it, but the examples DO work, the tutorials just couldn't be
loaded..

It's probably a very great browser.. but not very commonly used. And I'm not
going to install linux to run
an exotic browser to debug the IE or NS code, because I'll use IE or NS for
it.
