Installing plugins to Gecko embedding browsers on Windows - Archive of obsolete content
since the prospect of embedded gecko browsers raises the scenario of more than one gecko-based browser that a netscape-style plugin can work with, it becomes important to let plugin developers know how to discover these browsers on a windows machine.
...for example, netscape 6.0 and 6.01 do not write any of these keys into the registry, and thus these keys are not available for plugin vendors to parse for these two browsers.
... netscape 6.1 and onwards, however, will write these keys, and so creating a plugin installer that puts the shared object (dll) in the right place becomes much easier, since the relevant meta-information is present in the win32 system registry.

Back to the Server: Server-Side JavaScript On The Rise - Archive of obsolete content
full circle if you were part of the early web's big bang in the mid-1990s you might recall that being able to use javascript both client-side and server-side was core to netscape's original vision for web apps.
... netscape livewire was the first server-side javascript engine.
... now more than 10 years later, with netscape's technology group having been transformed into the mozilla foundation, server-side javascript is seeing a strong resurgence because of the simplicity it provides to web developers reinvigorated by the fact that today's cpus can process javascript more than 10x faster than the cpus of the mid-90's ever could.
... conclusion javascript can be successfully used for full application development on both the client and server, fulfilling netscape's original vision for a single, unified language for the web that makes apps easier to develop and maintain.

... in some cases, where a significant portion of the audience is running netscape 4.x, use of simple tables for layout and css for font control may be a solution.
... another option is to serve html content to netscape 4.x users, without css style.

Rhino history
the rhino project was started at netscape in the autumn of 1997.
... at the time, netscape was planning to produce a version of navigator written entirely in java and so it needed an implementation of javascript written in java.
... when netscape stopped work on "javagator," as it was called, somehow rhino escaped the axe (rumor had it that the executives "forgot" it existed).
... for a time, a couple of major companies (including sun) licensed rhino for use in their products and paid netscape to do so, allowing work on rhino to continue.

Defining Cross-Browser Tooltips - Archive of obsolete content
the classic example is a "tooltip" of an image; when the user pauses the mouse pointer over an image, the contents of the alt attribute are displayed as a "tooltip." gecko-based browsers such as mozilla, netscape 6+, and compuserve 7 do not support this behavior.
...a quick check of various user agents showed that title attribute contents were displayed as a "tooltip" in: gecko-based browsers (mozilla firefox, netscape 6+, etc.) internet explorer 5.5+/win internet explorer 5.x/mac safari opera 6.x+ of these, only ie/win treated alt text as a "tooltip"; the other browsers did not reproduce this behavior.

Handling common JavaScript problems - Learn web development
the trouble with javascript historically, javascript was plagued with cross-browser compatibility problems — back in the 1990s, the main browser choices back then (internet explorer and netscape) had scripting implemented in different language flavours (netscape had javascript, ie had jscript and also offered vbscript as an option), and while at least javascript and jscript were compatible to some degree (both based on the ecmascript specification), things were often implemented in conflicting, incompatible ways, causing developers many nightmares.
... using bad browser sniffing code all browsers have a user-agent string, which identifies what the browser is (version, name, os, etc.) in the bad only days when pretty much everyone used netscape or internet explorer, developers used to use so-called browser sniffing code to detect which browser the user was using, and give them appropriate code to work on that browser.

... netscape alumni took nspr with them to their new companies: good technology, kontiki, tellme networks.

An overview of NSS Internals
a high-level overview to the internals of network security services (nss) software developed by the mozilla.org projects traditionally used its own implementation of security protocols and cryptographic algorithms, originally called netscape security services, nowadays called network security services (nss).
...in order to support multiple operating systems (os), it is based on a cross platform portability layer, called the netscape portable runtime (nspr), which provides cross platform application programming interfaces (apis) for os specific apis like file system access, memory management, network communication, and multithreaded programming.

JSS FAQ
many netscape products, including nss, have nt and windows builds that are essentially the same except one difference: one is linked with the nt version of nspr and the other is linked with the windows version of nspr.

Creating the Component Code
registration is a process that happens in all xpcom applications, whether they're embedded gecko clients, mozilla, netscape 7, compuserve, or any other software that uses xpcom.
...we suggest that when you are testing your component in the mozilla or netscape client, you copy your component into the components directory in the client's installation folder.

Starting WebLock
there are many ways to do this: you can use standard ansi file i/o, or nspr (see the netscape portable runtime library below for a brief description of nspr), or you can use the networking apis that gecko provides.

Plug-in Basics - Plugins
for more information about helper applications, refer to the netscape online help.
...though the object element is the preferred way to invoke plug-ins (see using the object element for plug-in display), the embed element can be used for backward compatibility with netscape 4.x browsers, and in cases where you specifically want to prompt the user to install a plug-in, because the default plug-in is only automatically invoked when you use the embed element.

Scripting plugins - Plugins
(a bit of history: npapi plugins that used to take advantage of being scriptable via liveconnect in 4.x netscape browsers lost this possibility in mozilla (due to the jni making the netscape 4.x jri obsolete).
... as an answer to this large gap in the netscape plugin api, an extension to the api has been developed that lets plugins be scriptable again, independent of java.

Introduction to events - Learn web development
well, in the bad old days when browsers were much less cross-compatible than they are now, netscape only used event capturing, and internet explorer used only event bubbling.

Properly configuring server MIME types - Learn web development
if the media type is displayed using a plug-in in netscape gecko, install the plug-in and then look in the help->about plug-ins menu to see what mime types are associated with the media type.

Introduction to cross browser testing - Learn web development
this situation is a lot less bad than it used to be; back when ie4 and netscape 4 were competing to be the dominant browser in the 1990s, browser companies deliberately implemented things differently to each other to try to gain competitive advantage, which made life hell for developers.

Gecko info for Windows accessibility vendors
windows applications based on the gecko layout engine gecko is a rendering engine that mozilla, netscape and other new browsers use.

Creating a Firefox sidebar

How Mozilla's build system works
for example, there is a tier for the netscape portable runtime (nspr), one for the javascript engine, one for the core gecko platform, one for the xul app being built, and so on.

JavaScript-DOM Prototypes in Mozilla
one of these interfaces is nsidomhtmlimageelement, others are nsidomnshtmlimageelement (netscape extensions to the standard interface), nsidomeventtarget, nsidomeventlistener, nsidom3node, and so on.

Mozilla Quirks Mode Behavior
there are a bunch of quirks to get percentage heights on images, tables, objects, and applets (etc.?) to "work" (the way they did in netscape navigator 4), even though css says that percentage heights should behave like 'auto' heights when the parent element doesn't have a fixed height.

NSPR Poll Method
the poll method operates on a single netscape portable runtime (nspr) file descriptor, whereas pr_poll operates on a collection of nspr file descriptors.

NSPR release procedure
this design comes from the netscape days.

NSPR's Position On Abrupt Thread Termination
this memo describes my position on a facility that is currently under discussion for inclusion in the netscape portable runtime (nspr); the ability of a thread to abruptly exit.

Nonblocking IO In NSPR
introduction previously, all i/o in the netscape portable runtime (nspr) was blocking (or synchronous).

Process Forking in NSPR
the threads provided in netscape portable runtime (nspr) are implemented using different mechanisms on the various platforms.

I/O Types
for example, the netscape implementation of the secure sockets layer (ssl) protocol is implemented as an i/o layer on top of nspr's socket layer.

Introduction to NSPR
the netscape portable runtime (nspr) api allows compliant applications to use system facilities such as threads, thread synchronization, i/o, interval timing, atomic operations, and several other low-level services in a platform-independent manner.

Memory Management Operations
libraries built on top of nspr, such as the netscape security libraries, use these functions to allocate and free memory.

String Operations
libraries built on top of nspr, such as the netscape security libraries, use these functions to manipulate strings.

NSPR
netscape portable runtime (nspr) provides a platform-neutral api for system level and libc-like functions.

Overview of NSS
nss makes use of netscape portable runtime (nspr), a platform-neutral open-source api for system functions designed to facilitate cross-platform development.

PKCS11 FAQ
mozilla, thunderbird, and netscape products that use nss have different ui to get the the security devices dialog.

Installation guide
the build system of nss originated from netscape's build system, which predated the "configure; make; make test; make install" sequence that we're familiar with now.

Rhino requirements and limitations
j.fieldandmethod = 5; var field = javaobj.fieldandmethod; javaobj.fieldandmethod = 7; // now, field == 7 you can work around this by forcing the field value to be converted to a javascript type when you take its value: javaobj.fieldandmethod = 5; var field = javaobj.fieldandmethod + 0; // force conversion now javaobj.fieldandmethod = 7; // now, field == 5 jsobject rhino does not support the netscape.javascript.jsobject class.

JS_ValueToInt32
this routine was added for layers-based graphics programming in netscape 4, but unless you know you need its rounding behavior, it is best to avoid it in favour of js::toint32.
