[thelist] Konqueror web browser questions

Great! Konqueror is a great browser. Of course you have to install it to 
test your site, but that's likely the toughest part of the operation. Once 
you start writing CSS and JavaScript you'll see that it's nearly as good 
(and standard supporting) as Netscape 6. Of course there are a few bugs and 
a few unsupported things, just like any browser, but not much more than in 
any other browser.

The beauty of it all is: you don't have to worry about it. Most Linux users 
understand this jargon perfectly and are able to reinstall Konqueror when 
necessary.

As to JavaScript, see my site at 
http://www.xs4all.nl/~ppk/js/index.html?browsers5.html#konq for some 
information.

Quite standards compliant, but they don't hesitate to include a good 
Microsoft method or property if it does something the W3C approved methods 
or properties don't do.
