With the cell-phones and other portable devices we will likely see a
resurgence of web safe colors in my opinion but it would be short lived at
best as the technology is moving fast enough that TFT screens will soon be
available in even low-end color phones as they are now for PDAs. I guess the

Yep, Netscape 7 (7.01 I think) is basically Mozilla 1.01. It's available
on the Mozilla.org old releases page. I believe 7.1 is forked off the
Mozilla 1.4 codebase and that's when support for OS8 and 9 got dropped.
There's a roadmap somewhere on the Moz site with all this.

You are CORRECT in that, the Internet is a part of the web. However,
RESPECTFULLY, you sir are completely INCORRECT in the claim that SPAM is NOT
on topic. To say so would be like claiming the tail is not part of the cat
and therefore should be ignored.
I'm fairly new, and I like this list a lot! I agree with Jackie that an
OT list could be beneficial (not essential), and that a forum would be
undesirable(painful on dialup).
One of the reasons OT topics get started and go so interestingly here is
that the folks on this list are informed,
Hey List,
I have been toying with FireFox and the:
-moz-border-radius
CSS Attribute...
I have to say that, i think its the *BEST* modification I have seen in
a LONG time...
I wish that IE had implemented something similar, I know its not valid

I would argue that it depends on your target audience. Suppose you are
developing for an audience that mostly uses cellular phones and PDAs. Few of
these devices support more than 256 colors, so the web-safe colors are
relevant for those devices. If you are aiming for just regular web browsers,

I read that Mozilla included it, as well as others, not to offer extra

WOW,
thanks heaps.
What a great read!
Does anyone know what the next IE (in the next XP service pack) will
support?
I bet it wont support this, but 10,000,000 non standard, useless mods...

Because most of the people who use handheld devices hate using crippled
