K-M and DHTML

Can K-M handle webpages with dhtml code correct?
On a site (see below) one can choose between flash and dhtml. The flash part seems to work correct. The dhtml part opens in a window with just (dhtml-) text on Win98SE and on WinNT the graphics come up but no link is gonna work. The status bar then says: javascriptmouseClick(20)
Browser-ID: default, NS 6.1 or NS 4.76
JRE is installed and works fine otherwise. So check out the site: www.beercultur.com then choose Navigator/Brewmaster
NS 4.79 can handel both dhtml and flash here.

"dhtml" means practically nothing. Unless the site is coded using jscript, and uses the DOM correctly, kmeleon would not support it. The chances are that it uses proprietry extensions in IE and NS that are not standard and are not supported...

Dhtml is just the marriage between javascript and css. As long as the pages are coded correctly kmeleon will handle them perfectly. You have probably browsed in on a page that is coded for IE and NS4 and not for Gecko. The document object model of IE, NS4 and Gecko are not exactly the same and the pages has to be coded right to work whith all of these.

Here ara a dhtml site coded for IE, NS4 and Gecko browsers: http://w1.970.telia.com/~u97007522/

Tanks for the explanations. It seems that many programmers are to much focused on IE and NS. I hope that will change!

steelneck,
cool design your page, unfortunately I don't understand any Swedish

Here is a very good explanation about the DHTML, (wich is Javascript than makes the HTML code change automatically), and the difference between IE and NS, and why the Mozilla team decided not to support many "unofficial" tags.
