A well... what shall I say. I have to agree with you _A LOT_!!!
Netscape ruled, but doesn't anymore. It's a damn shame. They pretty
much stick to the standards (which I like very much) but the program
(browser) is f*cked up.
Anyway... My pages contain some tables about three within each
other. And NS can't handle tables to good. So if there is any
browser I'd want to use compression for... it'd be NS. That way the
data would be faster there and NS should have more time to process
it. So I'm not realy looking for I solution that only works for IE.
Because only compressing it for IE was something I'd thought about
already, but I don't realy think it's a reasonable option.
But... Thanks for spending your time to my problem!
