dude chill. It would be the site that was annoying you, not the browser. Feel free not to visit sites that annoy you...I don't care. It's used for many other things, emulating a user click is a very handy shortcut for a lot of situations, like innerHTML. It's just really handy for styling the file input widget, which only IE is able to style at all. Mozilla gives the developer no control over it at all.
The reason most sites look horrible in Netscape 4.x these days is because developers were not given the power the IE gave them, so they stopped developing for it. Probably because someone was afraid a feature would annoy some nit-picker *cough*. jon DeMoN LaG wrote: > jon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED], on 12 > Jan 2002: > >> >>Sorry, I should have elaborated.
