dynamic html and IE/Netscape/Others
IE and Netscape both have their own version of JavaScript, and its a big enough pain in the ass to have to write two versions of every function, much less worrying about other browsers like Opera.
my question is who uses a more standard version of JS, IE or NN? if i write a script, should i test for IE, write a version specifically for IE, then a version for all others...
if(IE) use IE version
else use netscape version for all other browsers
or test for netscape and use the IE version for all others
if(NN) use Netscape version
else use IE version for all other browsers

personally I don't know as much as I should on the interpretation of the javascript scripting language. However I always develop first for IE (if not already known as browser safe) then develop down to NN.
I have never developed for OPERA, probably never will...!!!
If you have any specific questions then post them at this URL. Probably a good place to start:

I'm an IE guy.... I usually don't even bother to code for NN
But then again, I spen most of my time on the back-end. I rarely write DHTML stuff
