Well, the JS implementation is not without its problems either. So it
could be a combination of both.
Even simple scripts fail to work on V3P2. Evidence:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>A Simple Javascript Example</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function DoIt() {
alert('Click Away!');
}
// -- End -->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H3>Alert example</H3><HR>
<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="Button" NAME="MyButton" VALUE="Click Me" ONCLICK="DoIt()">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
This script doesn't work correctly on V3, but it does on Opera,
Netscape, IE, and AWeb. Haven't tried iBrowse 2.1.
I guess that's why programmers invented beta testing. ;-)
