Indeed. This constraint applies to EasyPublisher (mentioned
in my last message ) - the within-browser editor only works
with IE.
Unfortunately most of the TTW (through the web) editor
widgets are geared for IE - however, there are some
notable exceptions. See:
http://www.bris.ac.uk/ISC/cms/ttw.html
for list. An interesting development, which I haven't
tried yet, is an ActiveX plug-in from www.esker.com
which allows _Netscape_ to use "IE only" widgets.
If anyone has experience to share on this option then
please let me know.
