Netscape 3.0, 4.0 Documentation

Postby gjk » Thu 31 Jul, 2003 2:59 pm

Does anyone know how to find out who at Netscape would have authored a particular Release Notes publication? I'm looking for the author of "Netscape Navigator For Windows Release 3.0" (available on the Netscape archive @ Sillydog. Also, I'm looking for a more detailed write-up on "Netscape Communicator for Windows Release 4.0."

Specifically, I am researching how Netscape improved its DHTML support from 2.0 to 3.0 to 4.0.

My thanks in advance if anyone is able to help. Feel free to email me directly with any information you may be able to share: gKrabacher@yahoo.com.

I couldn't find one myself, and I guess Netscape did not write or replaced the 4.0 Release Notes.

As for the dynamic HTML implements, the best resource is the "archived section" of DevEdge http://devedge.netscape.com/

Another good source about dynamic HTML is Danny Goodman's Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference. (publisher O'Reilly) If you are looking for NS 2.x, 3.x, 4.x I would recommend you getting the first edition (1998); second edition (2002) is empharise on the standards and the new NS6/7 and IE 5+.

Since I myself have coded HTML + JavaScript since NS3, I guess I could write a short guide about the Dynamic HTML in Netscape. Still have all those printouts :-)g
