No, does not. > (or at least it can render the pages I mentioned) Yes: These pages have a javascript routine to "detect" the browser. They usually check for availability of the object "document.all" - only IE (to my knowledge) has this, so they "think" it is IE then. And then they assume "if it's not IE, it must be Netscape!", so they do the other code with document.layers stuff, which only Netscape 4 understands. > .. so is there any reason why Moz cannot or should not do so if the necessary code is included?

No, but the strict aim of standards compliance as far as possible (there are very few things not being standards compliant in Mozilla, such as some CSS attributes) was done to convince people to standards and away from proprietary extensions of browsers. The less Mozilla is standards compliant, the less it can convince people. > I am sorry if I am talking nonsense here, it is just that, if I am, I would like to understand why. You aren't talking nonsense. I'm glad to help you understand this problem. Regards, S�ren Kuklau
