I meant to say Java APPLETS and not JavaScript, but FireFox (FF) also won't support much JavaScript. I don't know about Mozilla, but when I installed FF v.9.3, 1.0PR, 1.0RC1, none of them supported Java Applets and many sites that used JS they didn't work with it. I had to install the latest version of Sun JRE Java to have more Java Applets and JavaScript to be supported.
Yes, Harold, I forgot to mention that clock uses the same kind of code my mouse cursor effects use at some of my webpages and FF won't work with them. It also won't support webpage scroll bar decorations. I haven't used FF in about 3 months and I only used it for about a month or so total, so I may be a bit "foggy" on things (plus being on pain pills and antibiotics can't help. Hee hee :-) -Clint Merry Christmas to all & God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) http://ComputersCustomBuilt.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Kaulback" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mozilla does support Javascript natively Clint. No extension is needed to run Javascript Clint. The only thing Moz/FF can't do that IE can is support ActiveX, the most insecure and buggy dynamic language on the net. Most would think this a good thing. For starters look at how FF handles CSS here http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/complexspiral/demo.html and try the same page in IE. Note the differences. The problem here is that this piece of code is not compatible with Netscape/Mozilla, a very common occurrence with Javascript. Perhaps if this clock was done with Flash, a more universal language there wouldn't be so many issues.
