Cross-platform browser inquiry

site uses pop-up windows and iframes

[deltron23]

Hello! I am developing a web site that utilized pop up windows on an onload event. I also use IFRAMES. To make the web site viewable for netscape 4.7 or older users, I cloned the site without IFRAMES. On the onload event, Netscape users are redirected by the use of:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript SRC="index_files/swap.js" TYPE="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
var browser1 = navigator.appName;
if (browser1 == "Microsoft Internet Explorer"){
WindowOpen();
}else{
window.location.href="nfeatures.htm";
}
</SCRIPT>

I have tested the web site on IE, Netscape 4.7 and Mozilla browsers and everything is fine. However, I am concerned about browsers on Mac's. I'm probably a little bit paranoid; however, I want to make sure my site is accessible on the most browsers, on pc's and mac's. Does anyone have any advice for me?

Since you've already created your cloned pages for NN4, this idea comes a bit late.

For cross-platform Netscape 4 compatibility, you can wrap ilayer tags inside a set of iframe tags. NN4 ignores the iframe and other browsers ignore the ilayer.

<IFRAME SRC="foo.html">
<ilayer SRC="foo.html"></ilayer>
</IFRAME>
