* Do you do DHTML

Post by Gen-ik »

Hopefully this will end up being as useful for others as it will be for me.

I am trying to get a list together of browsers which support DHTML, off the top of my head I know that IE5.5+ and NS6+ on Windows both support it.

So... if you use a browser which isn't a Windows version of IE or NS and you know when it started to support DHTML let us know below :)



Note.
To quickly find out if your browser does support DHTML you can use the following code...

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
alert( document.getElementById != -1 ? "DHTML Supported" : "DHTML not Supported" );
</script>

I have Opera 7.23 on Windows 2000 and it supports DHTML but I can't say for sure when it started supporting it, but I think I can safely say from the early days of DHTML (Whenever that was) as Opera does do a good job of keeping up to date. I am pretty sure too that Mozilla is compliant as well particularly since I think it shares a lot of code with Netscape (I might be wrong but I believe they both use the gecko engine). Hope that helps some.

Mozilla, Firebird, Konquer, Galeon, Opera all support DHTML on Linux.

Cheers mate. FYI I just hunted down the Opera website and discovered that useful DHTML functions became available in version 7... before 7.0 it had some DHTML functions but not much.

Do you know any browser version numbers for when they got their DHTML act together (getElementById, getElementsByTagName etc)

It seems like always, but you'd have to check their website's probably.
