- OK, I'll admit I'd almost given up in dispair with IBrowse - after
- having trouble downloading v0.67 from www.omnipressence.com and
- finding it didn't work, I got the next version 0.68 and also had
- trouble with that (can't find http library r2 or something).
-
- Anyway, for some reason it /does/ work now - AFAIK I didn't change
- anything, maybe a reboot did the trick?
-
- So for all those who got 0.67, why not put their web server to the
- test once more (aserve 0.4 I believe) and get release 3a/v0.68? :-)
-
- Forms seem to work fine now, with the exception that they don't seem
- to have the normal defaults for a given page - eg. Lycos's Search
- Options page (you're not seriously gonna ask the URL?!) comes up with
- 'AND' match instead of 'OR' etc. (of course I can change it I'm just
- lazy!) Is this an 'evaluation copy feature' or have they not got
- around to it yet? (sorry, can't be bothered to RTFM!)
-
- Tables - YES!!! Things are looking very promising in this area -
- they only seem to have a frame drawn around the edge at the moment,
- but all the data's in the right place which is the main thing! I
- tested it with a page I made which contains a fairly complex form
- within a table, which is itself within a table - no problemo!
-
- A lot of other stuff seems to have improved since 0.47(or so) - the
- internal image displaying is very tasty, and I'm pleased that
- imagemaps work now.
-
- Also the use of "alt=" for unloaded pictures is great - here's a
- feature Netscape should have!
-
- Well I'm sure there are plenty more delights for me to discover
- (though perhaps the odd bug too) in the latest release of IBrowse.
-
- Keep up the good work guys!
-
- Lars.
