Re: [WSG] Netscape versions

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: Universal Head To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 15, 2004 11:58 AM Subject: Re: [WSG] Netscape versions This is interesting - but lots of people still use Navigator right? I guess I was asking the difference between build numbers too, because the Netscape site has versions 7.1, 7.0, 6.2, 6.1, 4.7, 4.8 4.6, 4.5, 4.0, 3.0 and 2.0. Obviously I don't want have to check in them all ...

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 that if you test in Mozilla it'll emulate NS7. Netscape 6 is based off an 0.9 release of Mozilla - it has some issues and has a smaller footprint than v4 :D. As Netscape no longer exists as a company you may be better off using the Mozilla base (mozilla.org) to test.
