One of many unfortunate facts.
It's a pity that Netscape...
- doesn't support the ID attribute.
- doesn't support the FN tag.
- still parses comments wrong.
- lets incorrect markup pass as okay.
- flags correct markup as wrong, and makes it blink.
- encourages people to use bad markup by
endorsing SIZE=+5 and BGCOLOR=#343434.
- doesn't support SRC in HR or UL or LI tags.
- leaves blank lines for multiple BR tags.
- doesn't support LH.
- never bothered to do FIGures or OVERLAYs.
- doesn't let you at the information in any LINK tags.
- doesn't support stylesheets.
Pity that.
(Anyone else care to add to this list? This is just what

that each of the missing features mentioned above are
currently available in at least one other browser.)
