Well Primarily I think this depends upon your audience. Some audiences will actually still require solid support for older netscape browsers, but most will not. Mostly I would treat everything before 6.2 as obsolete, and thus not really requiring testing (just avoid known issues) Personally thes

Hi all   Netscape 4.7 is the tricky one. You need to do a balancing act between 4.7 and 7.x compliance. However the latest google stats clearly puts ie 6.x ahead of the rest. Mozilla might catch up, though the current share is a below 1%   Cheers Dippy - Original Message - From:

Peter Netscape 7 is built off stable Mozilla 1.x code (1.01 I think) and they both use Gecko (the rendering engine). It's basically Mozilla without the AOL crap mixed in. Both Firefox and Camino betas are based off this engine as well (Firefox is the browser part of Mozilla 1.6a) This means th
