Yes but Don:
1. Olli was busy with his apartment and getting married end of 1998 - he
built his own apartment, really! So little (none?) V coding was done until
early 1999 onwards. Not that he didn't want to, just as he was quite busy
with the new apartment and so on.
2. The 'tables not working' thing is very generically reported. For instance
I'll admit I'm a major IE5 user at home, where I only use a notebook
(running UAE and stuff), due to lack of space. I surf quite a few sites. I
then move back to V in the office and am a) amazed how fast it is on my 060,
compared to my 333Mhz notebook (when the 060 is /much/ slower CPU wise) and
b) that most sites are the same or very very similar to IE 5 layout.
The only site that I noticed was 'different' from IE 5 was the
http://www.ford.co.uk web site.
3. Olli has been very very busy since early 99 on the JS DOM - this DOM
(Document Object Model) needs to be created /before/ you can add JS support.
The DOM is 'full working', with the JS fixes being in the interpretor, that
sits on top of this DOM. AFAIK it took Olli a few months to finish the DOM.
I'm truly quite happy with V 3, even compared to IE 5. The two things I want
are more JS fixes in the interpretor and Java support, if Daytona or Merapi
are ever released.
There are other things to do too, of course, but the way some people
describe the way Voyager 3 handles tables (etc) is like every single table
site looks different to IE 5, which is false.
Again, if you find sites that *genuinely* look different to IE 5 (or perhaps
NS), NOT compared to IBrowse (as this doesn't even support table widths at
all in v1.x, so using this as your tables comparison would be wrong to do
so), then tell us :)
We will look at them, really. It won't be done in time for pre-release 2,
but things will be done :)
Chris.
