Browser's hebrew status



Hi All,

As some of you people know, Netscape 6 PR3 came out yesterday, so I took it for
a small test in some Israeli sites (in hebrew: Sivoov be-eretz hakodesh) :)

Well, it seems that most of the sites can accept it - if it's visual hebrew...

On logical hebrew - the hebrew is backward - and unless someone will move out
his thumb from his ass - the situation will stay like this (and I think I'm not
the only one who thinks that it doesn't matter how it's done NOW - as long as we
have it!)

Here is a small example - Netscape 6PR 3 Vs. Konqueror (cvs from yesterday)

Test site - Microsoft Israel DNA pages:

On Netscape it looks like this: http://www.geocities.com/heunique/kde2/heb01.png

On Konqueror: http://www.geocities.com/heunique/kde2/heb02.png - the title on
the window shows as ??? cause I didn't set yet the title fonts..

I tested also on Yedioth's web page - www.ynet.co.il

Konqueror: http://www.geocities.com/heunique/kde2/ynet.png

Netscape 6 - just gives an error (Javascript bugs probably)

Java: on konqueror it runs almost fine, but the sandbox is not implemented yet.
On Netscape 6 - Sun's Java 2 is installed and works - but SLOW to death!
(running on K7 700 with 128MB RAM!)
