Hm.. I'd think meanwhile it's more correct to say Netscape runs on Mozilla's Gecko Engine...
What is it that you're calling "a document type definition in old HTML"?
Anyways, if a document has a certain type definition, it means that it will follow certain standards, and at this moment no other browser interpretes the standards of markup languages as correctly as Mozilla does.
If a document is full of errors and invalid HTML, why have a document type definition? Most of those files were "optimized" :blink: for IE, meaning full of errors that luckily will not show on IE.
So what you call "strange" results are most likely "correct" results.
I've been using the Mozilla Browser for over a year now, and have very rarely come across a site that was impossible to read or just messed up. And thoses kind of pages usually aren't worth it anyway.
Opera 7 is a fine browser as well - finally they implemented DHTML and got rid of a number of rendering bugs. Unfortunately the 7.0 and 7.01 versions tend to crash quite often (depending on your setup - some don't experience any crashes), so as usual I'm waiting for later versions that software. Mouse gestures do rock though, that for sure, and I love the large number of small gadgets like "paste and go" etc.
