Well, I don't mind if we use JavaScript/DHTML/CSS or PHP (does our server
support them?). I would love to not ever have to deal with Netscape again,
but I would agree, that we should probably support Netscape 4+ and
gecko-based browsers. I think MSIE is a freebie (most people only use
newer versions which already have a good, solid DOM). I've never had good
luck with Konqueror and JavaScript.
BTW, we've really got to match our icon set with the web page... I kinda
like the "iii" thingy... Hmmm... I should follow up with a patch.
