That's great to know... however it seems that as nice as it is of Lars to do 
that I'm hard pressed to think of much use for it without javascript. Not 
that I'm advocating total emulation of the non standard Netscape calls. It 
could be a benefit to emulate IE here where it is more compliant but then if 
you say you are IE to a website here you open Pandora's box of it's non 
compliant issues.

It would be nice to move konqueror to where it can utilize javascript DHTML 
more easily. User agents could help but what would be good is good 
documentation and examples of DHTML with the current DOM. Am I missing the 
availability of this? It seems that having good examples of this working 
natively would mean that it could be circulated in many of the script 
authoring circles on the net and make many more places friendly to konq.
