Konqueror's Javascript Continues To Improve

ElitusPrime writes "Konq's Javascript support may have been regarded as weak in the past, but 3.0 is a huge improvement. As an example, DHTML Lab has just released a Konqurer supported version of their popular HierMenus product. These cross-browser, backwards compatible pop-up menus are very complex, using all sorts of Javascript and DHTML tricks. Konq now supports them out of the box!"

Are these guys stoned?

I went to that site in the latest Konq CVS, and the menus worked great. But then I went on to read about this company.. 29.95 for the use of some simple DHTML menus on only 5 pages?!@?!? Higher license fees for mroe pages??!?! I could code my own implimentation of this in 5-10 mins! These guys are seriously whacko.

The Hiermenus are not "simple DHTML menus". They are extremely capable menus that work with an unprecedented set of browsers and capabilities, with good ease of use.

And if you want more than just capable menus, check out Tibet, a full client-server architecture for the web. These guys started by using JavaScript to fix the bugs in various browser JavaScript implementations, and then proceeded to build class libraries, debugging tools, client-side page templates, and a full IDE. All in JavaScript. And I'm not making an April Fools joke.

Also, the code is dual-licensed, commercial and open source.

The code is beta at the moment, and there is much work to do, but this is a seriously ambitious undertaking.

And no, I don't work for them or otherwise benefit from this heading-towards-off-topic post.
