We all know how bad Netscape is. I tried 4.5 6.0 6.2 and they all suck really bad. Made my site look like a train wreck.

Came across Netscape 7.0 tonight and it work pretty dam good. I was shocked. My vB looked great using it. So I thought I would pass this info on. So you can pass it on to your users.

Here's the link. Netscape 7.0 Free Download (http://channels.netscape.com/ns/browsers/default.jsp)

Well this is not Netscape's fault. The fault belongs to Webmaster if the page's not displayed properly in any browsers. Webmasters are responsible of designing sites that are displayed as they are in all browsers. The hint to do is to know which HTML tags are valid in all browsers and avoid using special HTML tags which is not competible with all. So if you design your site for IE with IE tags, Netscape cant display it. Same would apply to IE, if you used Netscape specific tags..

Netscape was once ruling the internet and setting the HTML tag standarts. However Microsoft now get the market and to finish Netscape start using its own tags which are not competible with Netscape. And they have achieved their goal..
