Graphical Browsers
		Netscape Netscape is my favorite browser. For web development it is nice for several reasons. One is that you can right click on a graphic, view graphic and get the dimensions of the graphic which you can then put in your HTML width and height settings. Another is that it is less forgiving with your code. If you can get your code to work in netscape, it's probably going to work in other browsers. It may not always look the same, but it will work. Microsoft's Internet Explorer While IE is not my favorite browser, you definitely can't dismiss it since most of the world's population is using it. When designing your pages, make sure it looks okay in the latest versions of IE. NCSA Mosaic Version 3.0 is now available for Windows95 and NT. I hate to say it, but I'm still not very impressed with this browser. They claim it supports tables, even nested tables, but some of my pages with tables don't appear correctly. The <FONT> tag is still not supported either. By default, underline links and change cursor over links is turned off. Some people may disagree with me on this one, but I prefer at least for the cursor to change so I can find the links without having to keep my eye on the status bar. I also had several problems with screen redraws when toggling the presentation mode.
		Viewer Tools
		Adobe Acrobat Reader Adobe Acrobat files (.pdf) can be viewed with this reader and it really is neat. The author can create flyers, brochures, and even books with Adobe Acrobat. With the reader, a web user can actually view the material exactly as it was created. No more problems of trying to get a page to look good on three or four different browsers! The reader is free so make sure you click on download reader rather than purchasing Adobe Acrobat. Netscape Plug-ins Netscape allows you to "plug in" several different applications so that when you download a file of a particular type, you can view it. The most widely used are Adobe Acrobat Reader, Shockwave, and RealPlayer.
