- But there is still a problem... You can't set that html compatible setting in
- the prefs... so you got to set it every time you use the program. A minor pain
- in the butt. Remember moster web sites including amiga ones are using the
- "sloppy" html3/netscape setup and web browsers for the amiga should include it
- as part of the program not a unsaveable setting. As I said before I use both
- programs (ibrowse/aweb) and I use one based on which graphics I want to see. And
- since I'm in the middle of setting up my own page I need a browser that will
- support the new html3 protocols. It might be sloppy but it is the standard from
- the web user stand-point. If not why would most websites use html3? Some are
- even using java and amiga browser haven't gotten around to include that yet. As
- usual amiga users are left behind to see mac/ibm users getting the upper-hand on
- the new.
