atlas not working with netscape

[Guest]

I've been playing around with atlas for hte past couple days and its very
impressive. However the standard browser here is Netscape, specifically:
Netscape 7.02
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20030208
Netscape/7.02

While everythign works great in Firefox and IE, absolutely nothing seems to
work with netscape. Is there something I need to change in my browser caps to
get it to work in netscape? I want to incorporate this into some new
applications, but if it doesn't work in netscape, there is no point...

Who uses Netscape? They have less than 0.1% market share these days...
Netscape is dead.

Unfortunately we do. And writing business apps for within an organization,
its gotta work with the standard browser. Is this version of Netscape so
divergent from current versions of Firefox that it doesn't work?

The weird thing is I don't get any javascript errors - it just doesn't do
anything. I haven't traced through it, but it appears that the atlas
framework is not even attempting to emit functional javascript for this
client browser. Hence why I was wondering if there was something I could put
in my browser caps....

here it works with Netscape 8.1 (for the accordion control at least), but
not in Opera (we always test all our stuff on Opera too because mobiles tend
to go on Opera)

I hope it helps

Netscape and other Mozilla based browsers don't display JavaScript
errors in alerts, they trace them to the JavaScript console. Type
"javascript:" in the location bar to see the console, or choose the
corresponding menu.

If you want to check what is going wrong, try Venkman, which is the
debugger for Mozilla based browsers.

HTH,

I was actually trying with the javascript console up. I think I'll spoof the
user-agent string and see if it makes a difference...

Opera is not currently supported by Atlas.

you should consider upgrade the standard to Firefox...
