At some point, HTML developers will have to entirely give up on Netscape 4.x. Is now this time?<!--content-->Its way past this time, IMHO<!--content-->Agreed.<!--content-->Depends on what you mean. I'd say it also depends on the type of site and the audience.<!--content-->It also depends on what you mean when you say "entirely give up support".<br />
<br />
If you eg look at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3.org">http://www.w3.org</a><!-- m --> in NS 4 you will see that all CSS is hidden from it, but all content & functionallity is still accessible.<br />
<br />
It's IMO a perfect example of how to deal with the NS situation in *most* cases (though check meow's reply).<br />
<br />
Ie, treat NS 4.x as a non CSS capable browser and provide the text as if it was a text-only browser + images. that way you don't shut out those users that have no option to upgrade but don't waste a lot of time as well as limit your layout choises to get things working in it.<!--content-->
