Big DOM

Hi.

Does anyone know a good place I can get info on browsers which use the DOM? or if you know yourself.

I'm trying to find out which browers (on which platforms) use the DOM.

I know IE5.5+ on WIN uses it, and NS6+ on WIN uses it... but I'm not sure about any other browser/OS set-ups.

Any help would be great.


Thanks.

Hi,

To clarify and/or confuse:

All browsers use the DOM. The real question is: which DOM do they use. NN4, for example, recognizes 'document.layers' but not 'innerHTML'.
IE4 knows about 'document.all', but wasn't around for the 'getElement..' DOM.

The 'standards' are set up at: [url=http:www.w3.org]W3[/url] , but the browser manufacturers can essentially do whatever they wish.
