When will DHTML support be added ?
or is there a way to make it display DHTML effects now?

"it supports DHTML as well as mozilla, which is better than most browsers."

you have to be kidding right?

just go to http://www.js-x.com/search/?op=2&q=55
and see how many dhtml scripts you can get to work...

it has no support for DHTML for layers or position effects.

DHTML dropdown menus = no go.
DHTML mouse effects = no go.

I realize this is a mozilla issue and not a K-meleon bug, but as a web developer I do have clients that want dynamic effects and if mozilla want to play ball in the big arena then they must address this.

IE, Opera and even Netscape handle DHTML better...

Mozilla/K-Meleon supports DHTML; the DOM is just different. For example, to access a layer with a specific id you'd do:

In Netscape 4.x
document.layers[id]

In Internet Explorer and Opera:
document.all[id]

In Mozilla, Internet Explorer (5 and higher) and Opera:
document.getElementById(id)

The first two are proprietary DOMs introduced by the 4.x browsers. The last one is the standard that any browser that's any browser supports.

I hope this helps.

ok, I'll address it now:
"Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ear. If you write crappy javascript, we will not parse it. If you would like your page to function according to standards, write your code according to standards; otherwise stop complaining"

On the other hand, people like us would't be able to complain all the time if everyone complied with standards...

Do you want to keep complaining - I do ¦:¬D
