Post #36,295 by Ashton 4/23/02 7:56:34 PM Reply	Realize that mostly - Obviously jscript can be read! in ascii (and comprehended by those with a mind to). Like er VB-script and like Perl.. sorta (?) What I was unsure of was - whether there is any obscure connection with the 'virtual machine' (if also loaded via Prefs checkbox). I guess the answer is NO. Which doesn't explain the impotence of .9.9 with jscript ON, at some sites = doing nothing - even where the task-bar box shows a routine command (on mouseover) which even I recognize. I see I'll have to scan the Mozilla errata stuff more punctiliously.. 'Help' is too coarse to be useful. Ashton

If it's not carefully written (harder than you think), then things like Mozilla, Netscape 6, Opera, Konquerer and sometimes even never versions of IE will fall through the crack and the JS thinks the browser is unsupported. Whilst this may be technically correct, the right approach is to check for the features you need, not the browser versions you think you need. I know this doesn't really help, but it does explain why some sites don't do anything in Moz even though JS is enabled. I often have the same problem with Opera. Wade.
