Hello,

I am considering using the CFMX cftree tag\java-applet. I know it works with IE5 and NS7. Will it work with Netscape 4.7?



Thanks,

Michael42
 
people still use that?

you should be able to download and instal multiple versions of netscape with few problems for testing. Give that a try.

We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true.
 
TruthInSatire,

VERY useful link - thanks for posting. :)

BTW, what do you use to create a tree interface in CF?


Thanks again,

i don't.

I always though the tree thing was a bit stupid. Every additional plugin a user needs on their system means less cross-browser / OS compatability. Stick with CSS for making your trees and your on the golden path to usability success.

Internet Average for browsers like netscape/firefox for java is only 71% installed.
 
if you have a captive audance it doesn't matter much, but i agree.

It seems more like one of those things that "just because you can, doesn't mean you should."

i found a java tree nav thing when i was learning web design around 1998 or so. It was a neat thing on my website which was a personal site just for me where you're encuraged to do the "just because i can" stuff.

If its for a customer or with real live users in a professional app... i'd find a better solution.

CF tries to pack itself with all sorts of neat stuff that make developers lives easy to make it more tempting to use. but some of those things make a users life a nightmare like cfform for example.
