Which means the current state requires having netscape 4.8 and quanta up and tabbing arround and checking with refresh your changes. If
Quanta has an internal preview mode (uses KHTML). You can also set it up to preview with the browser of your choice, but yes, that means a bit of ALT-TAB'ing.
you want to get into websetting I suggest learning raw html4 coding

Start signing up for email lists from those sites hosting free scripts. Not everything which works in both NS4 and IE4 will work in Konquerer. Also beware of scripts which require NS6+ or are IE5.x only. they will limit your sites audience. Interesting 8.0 had NS6 but NS4.8 is part of 8.2.
Neither NS 4.x nor IE4 are standards-compliant. IMO, we should not be coding to the least common denominator, but to *standards*. I don't use Konqueror, preferring Mozilla Firebird. I test check sites through the W3C validator, Mozilla and IE6.
I hope NS has the courage to open source the 4.8 and let us grow the browser for them.
Aside from the fact that NS is, for all intents and purposes, no more, what they need to do with 4.x is drive a stake through it's heart, cut off it's head and bury it at the crossroads at midnight. -- Scott Jones (scott at exti dot net)
