Does your netscape browser work?

My netscape 4.75 browser back button returns to the top of the page rather than the area of post of the article. This browser works on other web pages. Does anyone know what causes this?

[goldstategop]

I don't know but have you tried upgrading to Netscape 6.2? It certainly works for most of the web pages out there...

[SunStar]

That browser is over two years old, which means that it has not been updated to utilize newer features and technology. Netscape 6.2 has been out for some time now, as well as Internet Explorer 5.5-6.0. In a word: upgrade.

Works fine for me using my Netscape 4.something under Linux.

I'm using Netscape 1.0 with a Timex Sinclair, and I can't even read this page.

Yes. failure to use Internet Explorer...I used to be a netscape freak, but they have turned it into AOHELL Junior. Time to switch...sigh.

Never did it before, but yes it's doing exactly as you describe on my system as well this morning.

The solution? Dump your Netscape.

I got rid of Netscape long ago after putting up with the hassles. Why knock yourself out? Just about every computer out there uses Microsoft operating systems. I figured if I wanted less hassles when surfing the net, I might as well use Explorer and Outlook Express for e-mail, both by Microsoft. Sure, they're not perfect, but for me, they're a lot less hassle than Netscape was.

I use Netscape Communicator 4.7. I just started having this problem 2 or 3 days ago. Haven't changed any of my settings. It's a real pain.

...give yourself to the dark side...it is the only way to save your cookies...yes....your cookies...your feelings for them are strong...

Working cool for me.

And to all you upgrade/ dump netscape people. I would if any of the alternatives didn't suck eggs. Netscape 6 is a bigger POS than any version of IE (I can't believe the way the F'd up the back button), and IE sucks, can't stand the layout of that pile the whole screen is filled with IE and there's no room left to browse the internet.

Might I suggest Opera, don't give in to Microcrap. It's here , I feel it's faster and has better features than IE.

Mine is doing it as well. Just noticed it yesterday or the day before. Aggravating.

Nevertheless, I won't use IE - which is loaded on my computer - because it loads my computer up with too much crap. If I go to IE for just a minute or so I can get a hundred or so cookies loaded to "Temporary Internet Files".

Same here.......

I noticed the same thing - it started this past Saturday or so. It seems to be a page rendering anomaly related to html tables. You should also notice a "hesitation" of sorts between the time that the html is received by your computer and the time the actual text comes up.

As a netscape 4 user, I notice more pages that trigger this bug as time goes on. I will likely switch, but to mozilla, which I've been using on my solaris/linux/bsd systems for the last few months, rather than IE.
