You can get your server to simply put that at the top of every page served to a Netscape client, followed by a horizontal line and the normal web page. It should be easy to put together the hacks to do that and get them out to lots of people. Watch how fast people would switch from Netscape, especially were it widely deployed. You would then watch a fast fall in Netscape stock, which would likely piss Jim Clark off far more than anything else one could do.

This type of page hack is pretty easy. Take a look at _HTML & CGI Unleashed_ from Netsams press. Page 410 has a script that can be easily modified to do something similar. (Great book, but lacks some of the more advanced server redirect tricks I have seen elsewhere.) The example is for displaying an optional display for browsers that cannot deal with image maps. It can be altered to do the same to any browser.

We need HTML 3.0 capable browsers for all platforms, though.

They (the W3O) need to agree what HTML 3.0 consists of before that will happen soon... | What is the Eye in the Food Pyramid? | alano@teleport.com | |"The moral PGP Diffie taught Zimmerman unites all| Disclaimer: | | mankind free in one-key-steganography-privacy!" | Ignore the man | |`finger -l alano@teleport.com` for PGP 2.6.2 key | behind the keyboard.| | http://www.teleport.com/~alano/ | <fnord> |
