[Javascript] Re: Best browser for Linux

[Cutter (javascript list)]

Pietro, 

Unfortunately, layers is strictly a feature of Netscape, and an outdated and 
non-compliant one at that (version 4.x and down). I find that the best 
browser for the Linux platform is Mozilla (http://www.mozilla.org), which is 
an open source project from which Netscape originally stemmed from (the 
Mozilla group has definately surpassed NS). It is very compliant with 
current W3C standards, so DHTML, JS, CSS should work fairly well. Flash 
support is a whole other ball of wax as there is no support for Mozilla 
(Flash 5 support for Netscape is available on Linux, but I wouldn't use NS 
on any OS in any recent incarnation).
