So Now That NetScape Is On Its Way Out...

[Lee]

Will you be stopping building sites that are compatible with the NetScape browser or will you continue building cross-browser compatible sites for a while still?

Regards,

I used to cross check with Netscape, but quite some time ago I started cross checking with Firefox. I noticed that with my markup, I have the same browser issues with both Netscape and Firefox (no surprise, both are Mozilla browser). CSS interpretation seems to be the biggest issue for me between IE and Firefox/Netscape.

I haven't bothered to install Netscape for years now. It isn't just now "on it's way out" ... it's BEEN out.

Thank god. Thats one less browser that I have to worry about css compatibility for.

agree - firefox is the one to check for now and have been for some time.

Unless I'm mistaken, The Netscape browser uses an Internet Explorer render engine by default. So if a site looks fine in IE, it should be ok with Netscape.
