Why Does Mozilla Look And Function Like Netscape?

[null]

The Mozilla being
discussed in this thread is Mozilla 1.7

With 95-98% of users running IE, web developers would love to drop
support for Netscape/Mozilla. The two camps differ in their object
hierarchy, forcing us to write special JavaScript code to deal with
them differently.

There are object model standards developed at the W3C, together by
Microsoft(!), Netscape, Mozilla, Opera and several other companies &
organisations. W3C DOM Level 0/1/2 are more or less suported by all modern
browsers. Mozilla has the best implementation, but Opera 6/7 & MSIE 6 are
rather good at it too, so you do _not_ have to write special code for each
of them.

Having been involved with the project for three years, I'd
have to say that you are wrong again.

Too small to say you made a mistake?

You're an idiot, and I'm not wasting more time with you.

Thank you. I think you were the one who lost track of the thread.

Thank you. I think you were the one who lost track of the thread.

Thought you might get a kick out of this:

(link might wrap)

Seems that Netscape isn't out of the running after all. And notice
what the new version will be based on.

Moz 1.7 (after 1.7 is released, I suppose). Interesting. I'll probably
take a look at it just out of curiosity. Thanks.

I already mentioned somewhere in this thread that Netscape 7.2 was coming
out. And no, it is no surprise that it will once again be based on Mozilla.

Note what the article said - no major changes except a few minor security
fixes.

I am completely sold on Gecko as a browser. I have used Mozilla and
Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox in the past, and settled on Netscape for
now because it works better for my browsing needs that either of the above.
