Netscape.... Dexter has also had similar problems and has had to turn off java script. He told me he tried Mozzila also it also had problems....

We just need a Microsoft Internet Explorer clone for Linux!!...... lol

Well, part of the Javascript problem is that Netscape and IE support has always been incompatible. I imagine that most authors don't bother with Netscape compatibility now that their market share is insignificant. However, Netscape is hardly to blame -- they're following the spec. It's Microsoft who is doing things in a non-standard way.


Have you tried running IE under WINE? Apparently it <A HREF="http://wine.godmonkey.com/wineimg/ie5-new.jpg">works</A>.

I like Mozilla. But after years getting used to IE, I think I prefer IE. Still, I'd use Mozilla over Netscape Navigator any day. I have no idea how well Mozilla runs on Linux.
