[Javascript] Netscape 4.7

Fri Oct 18 17:51:20 CDT 2002

FWIW, some applets seem to do OK in NS 4.7 on the Mac, such as the applet
used for the navigation pane functionality in my online Texas Payday Law
book:
www.employmentlawadvisors.com/laws/tplweb/txpdlaw.html

It's about 164K, so it takes a while to load, but it does what it's supposed
to do, which is to operate Contents, Index, and Search tabs and provide
links to topics located using those features.
