Let the Browser wars (Re)commence!

So I went to www.mozilla.org to check out the browser a couple of people here have been plugging. I clicked on their link for "Newzilla - FAQ for end users"

http://www.gerbilbox.com/newzilla/

and got this:

The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

System does not support the specified encoding. Line 1, Position 42

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?>


I was using IE 5 with all the latest updates from Microsoft. Why can't we all just get along?

 

[hoihtah]

getting along is overrated. 😉

IE6 displays it just fine. Maybe IE5 didn't conform to the standards.

 

[Colt45]

XML = MS

not mozilla.

I love mozilla but the interface seems kind of sketchy to me and I'm not patient enough to give enough time to get used to it. Also it's not 100% compatible with every page I've been to (or maybe I didnt get all the security settings correct, who knows).
One thing though, it's speedy!

 

[Amused]

IE6 displays it just fine here, too.

Something wrong with your IE5, I guess.

 

[ApacheXMD]

both Opera 6 and IE5 work for me
IE version 5.00.3315.1000 if that's important at all

-patchy

The site is written based on the XHTML 1.0 Transitional DTD. IE5 is compatible with XHTML in general but it doesn't officially support it afaik. IE for Mac will screw up also (although I haven't tried their latest version).

Now that's interesting. This is the first time I saw XML in us-ascii encoding. I normally either leave it either blank or use UTF-8/16 encoding. Hmm.. Looks like IE5 doesn't recognize that encoding.
