Well I looked into to it a mbit now.  First some more details :  As you noted "graphs are missing on the status pages"
but not the trends page!  This seams to happen   only on status pages with one graph or it maybe its that  the disk status page works!
Now I JUST noted if you click  on  the  "mag"  glass it  brings up the 48/12/576 graphs ;  hit the netscape  back  button and  resize netscape and   you get the graph.  Now the the "mag" feature still does does not work.

What I forgot to  say  before was the the top menu bar is missing!
This I tested indepent of hobbit , the menu java script does not work with netscape 4.x !
I can "code" a page that displays on Mozilla.

Well I can use hobbit on the non devoplment (pc and unix and linx) side.  
And aside.  While I KNOW where to find the meaning of  all the icon; be nice if were a separate easy to find help item.


Lastly ,Henrik, Thank you for you help and for a fine product!!!!!!!!

When using Netscape 4.7x or 4.8 pages are not rendering correctly; no menu bar at top, pages with graphs have all
the magifier glass group at top  and sometimes graphs are missing.
If there is a  browser prerequiste , what is it?  And where is it stated.

Netscape 4.X is our unix  standard on our deveoptment side with no hope of  changing  that!
   
Sorry to hear that, but I'm afraid Netscape 4.x is just too old for the
web these days.

The Hobbit webpages are all HTML 4.0 compliant - they do use
stylesheets, javascript and probably also some other minor things that
have appeared in HTML since the Netscape 4.x days. (What HTML version
would that support - 3.2 ? Or only 2.x?)

Not that HTML 4.0 is brand new - it was published on 24 Dec. 1999.

I managed to dig up a Windows PC with an old netscape browser installed,
and yes - there are some problems with it. I don't quite understand why
the graphs are missing on the status pages - they show up OK on the
"trends" page.

But frankly, since I cannot even run this browser on my current platform
I am not willing to spend much time figuring out where it breaks. Feel
free to look into it on your own - you may be able to fix most of the breakage by modifying the header/footer files in the server/web/
directory.


Regards,
Henrik
