Philippe Le Hégaret, DOM Activity Lead, has provided a page to test user agent DOM support [1]. I tested Netscape 7.0 and Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 and was a bit surprised at the results. NS supports DOM Level 2 except for 3 areas: - UIEvents: basic user interface events - MutationEvents: events for mutations in a DOM tree - Traversal: Alternative traversal methods of a DOM tree However, IE 6 fails all DOM Level 2 support tests. According to the test page, this *could* mean IE doesn't really implement a DOM module even though it claims to. Anyone from Microsoft care to explain these results? The JavaScript code used to perform the checking is available.
