I would like to distribute K-Meleon on cd -rom as a offline browser
in e-book fashion.
Questions:
1 - Does it have to be installed to work. (ie: Will it run from a cd-rom?)
2 - Does it ride on or require an existing browser, IE or Netscape?
3 - What level of HTML and Java does it support?
(I'd like to use IE type transitions and some low level Java scripts)

I'm making a family history using HTML and can't predict what kind of
browser support end users will have.

Thanks for any encouragement

It has exactly same level of standards support as Mozilla 0.9.4: HTML 4.01, complete (I think) CSS level 1 and subset of CSS level 2, also good deal of DOM. It's DOM implementation, however, differs somewhat from that of IEs. Look at DOM compatibility table at <a href="http://www.xs4all.nl/~ppk/js/index.html?/~ppk/js/dom1.html">http://www.xs4all.nl/~ppk/js/index.html?/~ppk/js/dom1.html</a>;

As for Java then that depends entirely on JRE the user has installed.

In addition, K-Meleon does not need any installation of NS or IE to function.

a few things (like the rebar menu) need up-to-date system files, though, that are most commonly supplied with recent IE versions.

The rebar menu can be turned off though.

yep, and as a matter of fact, i seem to recall that the developers mentioning that they were working to reduce some of these dependencies in coming versions.
