Netscape 7, Mozilla, Safari, and yes even IE 5.1 are every bit as secure as Netscape 4.7. Probably MUCH more so thanks to the holes that have been found in javascript! As for "degrading web sites," here's an easy way to save yourself a lot of bother: stick to the W3C standards for HTML and you'll never have a problem. It is ONLY when designers stray into unproven "extensions and extras" that you start getting sites that show up correctly on one browser and not on another. iCab is an INVALUABLE tool for checking standards-compliance. You should test your sites with IT and then you won't have to worry about IE vs. Netscape -- it will work correctly in both. _Chas_ New at http://filmmoi.blogspot.com - a review of the Disney documentary "The Sweatbox."
