I Really Like Mozilla

I finally got Mozilla installed and running just last week and wow... Nice
work you Mozilla developers, you!
And is it just me or does Mozilla really interpret/execute CSS code really
well especially compared with IE?
And those browsing tabs, and "realtime fluid resizing"...
It's like a world of difference.
....I am tempted to code just for Mozilla and IE be damned. ;-)

Mozilla does everything better than IE.
And those browsing tabs, and "realtime fluid resizing"...
It's like a world of difference.
You do realise it's now your duty as a Mozilla user to persuade all
your friends to switch to it? And get them to persuade their friends
and so on...

No-one codes for Mozilla - they code 'for' the standards and Mozilla
just happens to implement the standards properly. If all browsers
supported the standards properly (I hear Opera's making good progress)
then we wouldn't have any more of these 'code for' debates.

Well, yes, of course. Errors in Mozilla coding are just that,
errors. "Errors" in MS coding are frequently part of Microsoft's
strategy to subvert any open standard.

Glad to see the smiley. You should know that coding "for" _any_
browser is a mistake. Code to the standard, then decide which
browser bugs are so bad (on such popular browsers) that you have to
make compromises to code around them.

You and your closed source Opera7?
From what I understand, Mozilla is open source, Opera's closed. If so,
again, a world of difference.

I can influence their decision, but they'll have to persuade themselves. ;-)

Ya, I know; I just reluctantly and with irritation crammed a table into a
div.

Why are you posting with Outlook Express if you do not like Closed
Source Software? Mozilla has a newsreader you know...

In any case, the point is to code for the www and not for specific
browsers - closed source or not.

Sure, with Opera you can get support if you pay $39, otherwise you have to
rely on the user community to help you in newsgroups or web forums. Oh
wait, it's the same for Mozilla...

Yeah, I sure know the differences, but for most end users, it doesn't
matter much. Both Opera and Mozilla are continuously being developed,
while MSIE is just an add-on to an OS and is treated as such.

Lovely piece. But not convincing.

Or better yet, report a bug. Working around bugs only leads to too much
code.

Hi, Does anybody know how far you can get nowadays with trying to use Python as the script language for XUL instead of JS? Is it possible (even theoretically) to write full-fledged applications on the Mozilla platform with python only? In a parallel vein, anybody know what the architecture of Komodo is? Thanks for any pointers, information, etc

Hi all, I've written this little piece of code, which doesn't seem to work in Mozilla 1.5. I haven't tried it on other Gecko browsers, but I've found some indication that Netscape 6+ has the same problem.

I have noticed that the meaning of visibility: collapse has been discussed on different forums, but with no consensus on what it really means. Besides, implementations differ. The specification says: "The 'visibility' property takes the value 'collapse' for row, row group, column, and column group elements. This value causes the entire row or column to be removed from the display, and the space normally taken up by the row or column to...

Hello, This is NOT a troll, it's a genuine question. Please read right through to see why. I have been using Vusual Basic and Classic ASP for some years, and have now started looking at ASP.NET. At first glance, it looks excellent, albeit nothing that couldn't have been done to Classic ASP. I have been through a few tutorials and was impressed with how quickly you can get database info onto a page.
