From: fepotts@fepco.com (F. E. Potts) | | Yes, there have been problems with JavaScript: | | http://www-genome.wi.mit.edu/WWW/faqs/wwwsf7.html#Q61 | | http://www.osf.org/~loverso/javascript/ | | While some of the problems associated with JavaScript have been fixed, | others have not, and new ones are waiting to be found. To me, | JavaScript is about as buggy as Sendmail, and needs to be treated with | equal care. --- f/w/i/w, the first reference reports on Netscape 2.01 as the latest release and the second reference seems to say that all the security problem he found were fixed in the 3.0 betas. It would be interesting to get an up-to-date summary on whether any security problems are known in Netscape 3.0's implementation of JavaScript. sccott -- scott preece motorola/mcg urbana design center 1101 e. university, urbana, il 61801 phone: 217-384-8589 fax: 217-384-8550 internet mail: preece@urbana.mcd.mot.com
