Anyone know where I can get details to write some VB codes relate to the

Tuan -

I am afraid I don't understand what you mean. Can you tell us what you are
trying to achieve?

I am trying to find the netscape equivalence to SHDOCVW.dll and MSHTML.dll
so that I can perform some Intyernet related programming that are specific
to Netscape. Thank you for your help.

Tuan -

You are making the assumption that Netscape are kind enough to expose their
interfaces for people like you to use. Netscape have no interest in
allowing grubby little programmers reuse their beautiful cross-platform
statically linked code, whilst Microsoft have all the reason in the world to
want you to reuse their enormous DLLs.

I could be wrong, but I think that, at least, the Wininet.dll library comes
with Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4/2000. In which case, you can reuse this
via the Microsoft Internet Transfer Control which comes with VB5 and VB6.

Of course, if you want to browser specific stuff, you are pretty much alone,
unless Netscape have created some sort of hook into their browser. In fact,
why don't you take yourself off to www.netscape.com, and search through
their developer pages. Let's face it, they'll be desperate for someone to
visit their lousy "portal" site.

Mark,

That is so eloquently spoken...That is why I gave up using their
"developers' resources" because it is so poorly organized and the
information provided are quite superficial. I will keep on trying. Thanks
for everything.

Tuan -

I do not consider myself at all an expert on Netscape, but I am interested
in what you are trying to do with it using VB. Maybe you could do what you
want easier in JavaScript, or even Java.

Alternatively, if you haven't already done so, you could try posting on
another dev-archive Newsgroup (there are a couple of internet ones, I believe).

Personally, I am always shocked that some people don't realise that "The
Browser War" has been won - by Microsoft! I mean, how can anybody expect
that Netscape could win when the majority of consumer users have "IBM
Compatible" PCs, and Explorer comes free with Windows 95/98 which they are
forced by necessity to buy. Wouldn't you be better off trying to convince
your clients that they are sticking themselves in a technological rut with
Netscape, and go for Internet Explorer? Whilst 4.x ran like a sick dog, 5.x
is actually a very good piece of (free) software.
