  1. Mozilla do ALL the test OK. by TulioSerpio · · Score: 5, Informative

    I'm not using a mac, but in mozillazine.org someone said the Mozilla team corrected the scrollbars bug in the latest builds.
    In my pc seems to work, too.

  2. not a total waste of time... by russcoon · · Score: 5, Informative

    This article isn't bad, but it only scratches the surface of a lot of more insidious problems with all the browsers "tested".

    For instance, no real differentiation is made between DOM 0, DOM 1, and DOM 2 style events and their setters. There's not even a whisper about mutation events. The section on "display" properties totally misses the related (and more useful) problems of using attribute getters and setters in the various browsers. Ever tried setting a div to have overflow="scroll" on Safari?

    One last nit: does anyone else find it uber-annoying that ADC's articles don't have authorship attribution?
