Wrong. His choices are: 1) Do nothing. It will continue to work on MSIE and Netscape 4, but nothing else present or future. 2) Update the script to make use of the W3C Standards. It will continue to work in MSIE and Netscape 4, _plus_ work in Mozilla _and_ any other future browser that implements the W3C Standards, with no additional effort. This will include Opera once they get their DOM support up to par. So it's either do no work and get no gain, or do a little work and gain support of any future compliant browser. That's the whole point of the standards: write once, run anywhere. It's the direction everyone's heading; Mozilla is just the first to get there.
