Well, sportingnews.com still isn't quite right, but the javascript menus work now.  EBay doesn't crash anymore either.  In fact, no crash yet.  Much better than 2.2, but AWeb still displays sportingnews.com more correctly.  However, I think this leaves it at 3 sites a day I'll use AWeb for, and 3 for IBrowse so now it's even.  Heh, better yet, that leaves none for Opera or Mozilla on Linux.  I can now do all my surfing on the Amiga.

Just thought I say a little something to Stephen and all the beta testers who worked as hard as they did to make sure the JavaScript is where it's at...

thank you... thank you...thank you... thank you...thank you... thank you...thank you... thank you... infinitium et nasium...

Even some of my DHTML components work.

Development of major browsers, like IE and Netscape, is accomplished by hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people. iBrowse is worked on by how many ??? A lot less! I would be surprised if the number was over 10. Now you tell me how quickly can a program as complicated as a web browser be developed and updated with such a lack of manpower in comparison. It comes as no surprise to me that "current" feature sets, which change _daily_, are not implemented in Amiga browsers. There simply isn't enough manpower to keep up.


And simply put, you don't honetly know what you're talking about.

The whole Mozilla project, with all of it's forked-off browsers, is a grand total of just over 100 people.  For active developers, you can count them in a bakers dozen.  

And that's for Mozilla, one of the most complex pieces of code out there, as I'm sure anyone will agree.  It is not one web browser, but at least 6.  Plus a mail client and news reader.

Most web development groups number in the half-dozen to a dozen range.  Even Microsoft doesn't dedicate more than 20 people to IE.  

So, even Voyager with only 2 active coders, does stand a chance to keep up with these teams.

I'm trying it out right now and it's actually not too bad.  I could only think of 2 things right now that I wish were included: 1) Flash support and 2) Java (not java script).

That would go a long way toward making it seem like a modern browser.  Well, it could use a facelift to get rid of those ugly buttons. Does anyone know if you can replace the images with other ones?

hmmm. Double post, so I will just edit one.  The other thing is jpg support.  I've had it working on my system before, but now it doesn't seem to even thought the jpg datatype is intalled in /dev/datatypes
