Answer 1

I don't see this as a question about computers, it is more a homework question that you need to find out for yourself.

Answer 2

In March of 1999, Microsoft released IE version 5.0. The last week of September 1999, Netscape Communicator v 4.7 was available for download. Both companies have pushed the products beyond a simple method of viewing web pages; the browsers now give users an incredible assortment of features, add-ons, and stand-alone services and benefits.

Netscape and IE display content a little differently from one another. IE can display Searches, History, and Favorites within a split screen to the left of the main display. For some people, this feature is welcome. If an entry is selected within the split screen, the result is displayed in the main area. I find this feature helpful during a search. If the split screen is closed to allow more viewing room for the resulting page, upon reopening the search screen, it returns the same list of results as before, without resetting.


4 advantages & disadavtages(client/server side)
----------------------------------------------------------------

There were several areas that the users commented on while taking the usability test and filling out the questionnaire. I used the "Thinking out loud" technique to capture what the participants were thinking while they were working (Rubin, 1994). The following is a list of all major comments, both positive and negative for both browsers:

CONNECTING TO SITES:
"Why is Internet Explorer taking so long to find a site?"

"The main problem I had with Internet Explorer was the fact that it took forever to connect to sites."

"IE is so %$!# slow getting to a site!" "Have we lost the Internet connection? IE can't find this si...oh there it is."

BROWSER SCROLL BARS:
"I like how smoothly the IE scroll bar scrolls!"

"I don't like the way IE scrolls the page - it's weird"

ON APPEARANCE:
"Netscape looks "blah" compared to IE"

"I like the spinning world on the IE logo - it's easier to see than the shooting stars on Netscape."

"I can't stand how those buttons pop up on the IE toolbar!"

"It's annoying that those little pop up descriptions are not shown for all tool bar options in IE - it's inconsistent"

SEARCHING THE INTERNET:
"Why does IE only provide one search option? Netscape gives you a quite a few."

"AOL Netfind?? (in IE) That's it? Where are the other search engines?"

NAVIGATION
"When IE opens a new browser window, you can still use the "back" button to go back to a previous site from another window. Netscape doesn't allow you to do that, which is annoying."

BOOKMARKS
"Netscape's bookmarks aren't as nice looking as IE's Favorites and IE's are more intuitive."

"When I delete a bookmark in IE it's annoying to wait just so I can see a little folder with paper flying out of it."

"You can't see the different Favorites in the folders! I hate that! You can see the whole list in Netscape within each category! You have to scroll, but at least you know what is there."


the current versions of internet explorer, mozilla and
netscape all support client side xslt, it won't really be long before assuming client side xslt support will be reasonable even out in the wild.

When viewing the site on a PC with IE 6, everything looks fine (as in, the menu links on the main
page extends across the screen and the submenus line up underneath their respective links)

However, in Netscape 7, the menu on the main page does not extend, and the alignment with the
submenus has been really tricky.

Another major limitation of Netscape as compared to IE is that not all properties of a page can be changed at any time. This is because when the web page is once written to the screen, only position, visibility and clipping can be manipulated dynamically.

The good news is that from the web designing point of view you can now forget completely about debugging all your websites for Netscape 4.x as a very small fraction of the Netscape community still use it. Think of it this way, if you are bent on making the website work perfectly for version 4.x then you cannot use some effects (especially javascript and CSS) that are easily supported by the latest versions of all the major browsers.

For Dreamweaver to not keep throwing up Netscape 4 errors set the browser check settings to show Netscape 6 instead of the default 4.0. To do this click on the Results panel, select the Target Browser Check tab, click on the green arrow to show the list of options - select the Settings option and set Netscape Navigator to version 6.0.

Microsoft sees the future of its monopoly on the desktop as threatened by Netscape, Sun, and the Java-based network computer, among other challengers, and the only way it can win is to fragment the browser market, embrace and extend Java into the Win32 realm, and ensure that Windows NT lives through the next release cycle. Little of this has to do with the support or lack thereof for CSS1. XML, for example, is now being recognized as the driver that will open up proprietary file formats forever

hope this would satisfy!
