David, our statistics suggest that it is time to abandon Netscape
4.x. It just isn't worth it.
I'd agree as far as non-academic sites are concerned, and although my
own database site still works on NS 4.x (I think), the way I've used
css makes it look prehistoric. I worry sometimes because academics
are so reluctant to upgrade their browsers and many unix types are
wedded to primitive web browsers, but they have alternatives and I
think they have to upgrade if they want to view our stuff.

unless you still use Chime on the Mac. ;-)
There is an alternative, Tim. I actually develop on Mac OS 9 (I have
a dual-boot machine so also check on OS X), and to test Chime I use
Mozilla 1.2.1 which I think is the last version for OS 9 (at least
that's the version on my laptop - I'm currently using an iBook in a
remote location in the west coast of Scotland so I don't know what's
on my desktop machine). This supports Chime and Jmol applets and has
reasonable css support. I admit it is a bit buggy - it tends to
memory/processes when running in the background (forget the technical
term) so if I'm testing Jmol on IE5.1 (which I prefer) and have
Mozilla open as well I sometimes find I can't do anything. (Solution
is just to shut it down.)

PS Whether there is a Live Connect problem that would make one stick
to NS, I don't know, as I don't use the Jmol.js at the moement. But
doesn't that require a higher version of java?
