- There is NO SUCH THING as HTML 3.0 at this moment. All that there is,
- is a bunch of tags introduced by NetScape and MS Internet Explorer
- that some people seem to think is HTML 3.0. And I don't mind AWeb
- being as fussy as it is, as it teaches me to write good HTML. And
- good HTML means that AWEb will just ignore whatever it doesn't
- know. Including your netscape aka (HTML 3.0 stuff) Now if that has
- been written as it should be, and tested on other browser than
- just Netscape, the problems would show up there to and the authors
- could have fixed them. And we woudl not be having this discussion.
-
- But if you need Netscape stuff now, you have 3 options.
-
- 1. Run Netscape via Shapeshifter on your Amiga.
- 2. By another computer for which a native Netscape is available.
- 3. Use Ibrowse and learn to live with it's shortcomings.
