Actually I tested it, and found that
view-source:http://www.evolt.org
is working in Mozilla, NS6.01, NS4.7, IE6 and IE5.5.
I didn't have time to check them all on a link in a website though, you
might be right there.
Wouldn't using try/catch cause an error in older browsers itself though?
Isn't that only implemented in Javascript 1.5?
