RE: Character set question

What is buggy in Netscape 4???  Are you kidding?  I take it you're not a
big CSS developer.  :)

Netscape 4 should be every web developers worst nightmare.  I could go
on and on about how bad it is, but frankly, I don't have the time.  I
thought Netscape 6 was going to be a big improvement, but unfortunately,
it seems to be much slower.  Plus the CSS support in Netscape 6 is
better, however, I still find cases where IE handles CSS better.  At
least they did something good and got rid of layers.  But I'll take IE
(4, 5, or 5.5) over any version of Netscape.  ;)

        What is buggy in Netscape 4 ?? I thought the only buggy version
they made was 6 ;)

PS - I will take Netscape 4 or 6 over any version of IE :-)
