Despite my criticisms, I really do want current Netscape users to upgrade. Netscape 4.x was an abomination that should have been withdrawn from commercial release as soon as Version 6 went final. The fact that you can still easily download the latest point release of Communicator from the same part of Netscape's site as Version 6 is disturbing. 4-valid, syntactically correct pages. Pointing the finger where it's due A lot of the complaints about Netscape 6 relate to the way it chokes on certain Websites.
Problem is, half the time it's the fault of bad HTML markup.
Web authors say they want standards compliance, but there are two halves to that particular equation. Browser manufacturers can support standards, but Web authors have to stick to them as well . This isn't really the browser's fault. No wonder Netscape chokes. But this is just bad nesting, a real kiddie error.
