I would like to second these comments.

I have run into a number of sites where the javascript breaks Konqueror 
(usually resulting in a blank page) and a couple where the java applets 
run but produce strange font sizes and one where the applets sent 
Konqueror into a permanent spin.(I am using the Sun SDK for Linux 1.2.2)

Sometimes the javascript problem can be at least reduced by judicious 
choice of User Agent strings (but they have to be configured with an 
editor because the Add button is always grey in the configurator) but 
other times this does not seem to help.

Just today I also found a site where the HTML is rendered differently 
by Konqueror  (compared to Netscape and IE).

The markup was:
<B><P>text</B>

Konqueror ignored the bold tag (presumably because of the <P> tag) but 
both Netscape and IE rendered the text as bold.

This may be technically correct but it still means that the page in 
question looked very poor in Konqueror.

I also suspect but cannot prove that Konqueror suffers from memory 
leaks under some circumstances. Since updating to 2.1 I have had several 
occasions where I have had to logout completely before my disk stops 
rattling due to paging/swap - but only after visiting several web sites.

Cheers and thanks,
Stephen Davies
