The Plant Cell Biology web site has been tested and looks fine on the following information navigators or "browsers".
The chances are you are reading this with Netscape. "Netscape" should not become a generic term, as "Hoover" for vacuum cleaner. Netscape is nevertheless an excellent product, and has become a standard.
The layout of these pages was originally designed for Netscape. The home page and now other pages were designed with Netscape 3's plug-ins and Javascript in mind. Cyberdog and Internet Explorer can now use the same plug-ins, including Apple's QuickTime plugin. The plug-in Chime gives a RasMol-like graphics window within Cyberdog, Internet Explorer or Netscape; internet navigator as graphics workstation.
The site's layout is also good with NCSA's Mosaic, which is the true pioneer, and retains the original influence of the revolutionary development of the World Wide Web at CERN, Geneva. Mosaic and Cyberdog have, unfortunately, reached their final stages of development in early 1997.
Anyone interested in the unpredictability of the impact of science on society, or who doubts the value of publically-funded research, might be interested in the time-line of the invention of the World Wide Web.
As regards browsers generally, it must be healthy that there is competition, and therefore choice.
