I can see the corps' point re: churn, but, frankly, if they made their junk W3C-compliant and followed other existing *standards*, their testing chores would be much lighter. As to the significant numbers of corps who are still running ActiveX apps on their intranets, I say let them continue to run Internet Exploder 6 until they choke to death on M$'s crap. They obviously don't give a damn anyway when it comes to doing things the right way. I'd rather that those types not even think about using Gecko. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
