Thanks for this link. A very helpful explanation of NS4 event handling.

I went to browsers.evolt.org - it goes back as far as Navigator 0.4 (yes 
0.4, 16 bit). Remember 16 bit programs and Windows 3.1? It can be quite 
amusing to get an old pre-javascript web browser and see how it renders 
the most ordinary of modern web sites.

Anyway, I downloaded the windows versions of NS4.04 and NS4.79. NS4.04 
doesn't run _any_ of the dynapi examples. It complains about the many 
places throughout dynapi where a "function does not always return a 
value.". When I get some time I'll make a list of them, if anyone is 
interested.

NS4.79 seems to work quite well.

By the time I finish with this I'll hopefully have some useful 
documentation on dynapi event handling. I'll keep you posted.


Andrew.
