Just a quick update on my chart of browser capabilities. I've added a field, (Seal of Approval, or SOAP :) indicating that I've tested it on stuff I'm developing and would recommend it for sites with heavy use of forms and user authentication. One of the more tragic bits of info is the fact that NCSA WinMosaic can't properly handle a POST method in a user authenticated area, which means that the 27% of users using various versions of WinMosaic to visit our site won't be able to do some of the more interesting things unless that bug is fixed or another free working browser comes out. Anyways, enjoy. Further requests for updates should come to me personally - I'll send this to the list again when major changes take place. If you are using a browser for which a "?" or blank exists in any field, let me know. Brian Curr. rev. User Auth.
