Hi All,

I have developed a web application using jsp,javascript,html,servlets,css. My application is compatible with IE5+ and I want to make it comaptible with Netscape. So which Netscape versions I should consider ?

I use css also so please answer w.r.t to this point.

Thanks & Regards,
Kumar.

I'd say NS6+ will do,since it is the most standard compliant browser out there and its useage is increasing(slowly but steadily).

As such you need to make use of the NOSCRIPT element to ensure that your page "fails safe". And if your page "fails safe" it doesn't matter if the JavaScript that you use is Microsoft specific.
