Mozilla Suite for the Solaris Operating System
Making Web Applications Compatible with Mozilla browserA great deal of content on the Web was originally developed for early browsers like Netscape Navigator 4 or Internet Explorer 4. These browsers were developed before the W3C standards for HTML, CSS and the DOM were finalized. Therefore, these browsers support only proprietary (read: non-standard) HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Internet Explorer 4 and Netscape Navigator 4 share support for a large part of the HTML 3.2 standard and for basic JavaScript. They also support (to some degree) the CSS 1 standard, although the implementations are incomplete, are inconsistent with each other, and do not faithfully follow the CSS standard. Neither Internet Explorer 4 nor Netscape Navigator 4 support the W3C DOM. Instead, each browser supports its own proprietary API for manipulating the content, style, and position of HTML elements in a web page. In addition, Internet Explorer 4 and Netscape Navigator 4 use completely different methods for embedding third party software into the browser. Mozilla browser (and Netscape 7.0), on the other hand, have been designed from the ground up to support W3C standards and do not support the proprietary approaches of the past. This can cause pages that were coded using non-standard, proprietary techniques to not display as intended in Mozilla browser, Netscape 7.0, or other modern browsers. The purpose of this page is to identify and facilitate resolution of major issues related to migrating Web solutions to Mozilla.
