Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Counting so far

I think Richard tested them.

Fair enough though if you're not sure about them. Perhaps if there are 
to be people moderating additions to the CVS you should assign a browser 
to each moderator (or are you the only moderator Robert?). If someone 
(or more than one person) is experience with NS6 or Mac IE5 then they 
should check and okay any changes.

The only testing I've done is with the DynAPI examples, and with the 
site I'm working on. It's better to test with something complicated I 
think, as it tends to show up faults in the code, the examples are a bit 
too simple for this. Widgets are good for highlighting problems I've found.

Some of the developers must know a bit about NS6 though as there is a 
lot of support in the API already, although some of it is a bit out of 
date (for example, NS6 final supports innerHTML).
