The hits, excluding robots, on www.freebsd.org are roughly 60% Netscape, 30% MSIE, 6% Lynx and a large variety filling in the remaining 4%. Proportions for specific pages may vary, and all web server stats must be viewed skeptically; there is just so many ways for things to be mis-counted. Writing javascript that is portable across versions of Netscape and MSIE is a pain in the butt, but if you can put up with it and provide a workable mechanism for people who can't or won't use JS, then it is fine. -john To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
