    What is version '1.b'! It works fine on Mozilla 1.3b/WinNT4.0 - is your version of Mozilla older than that?

    Ditto with Galeon 1.2.5.

    It works under windows though, and that's the main thing.

    Getting it to work on Linux browsers (and preferably also RISC OS browsers)
    is important. Its working on Windows browsers is a mere side effect...

    It's not a case of getting it to run on a browser or platform, more of
    getting the browser or platform in question to work according to the
    standards (well, recommendations). Everything on screen is simply an
    image or other HTML element manipulated under script - nothing (apart
    from the key events) is dependent on detecting the platform and
    branching the code.

    Nope. 1.4 on MacOSX running fine here.

    That's interesting. What's the spec of your machine? Mozilla 1.4 on my PowerBook (400MHz G3, OS X 10.2.6) suffers from the animated objects
    jumping about the screen.

    I don't think it could be machine specific, since the layers are well abstracted (at least that's what I believe it to be ;-) but here it is:

    TiBook G4 / 1G / 512M / 10.2.6

    Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4)
    Gecko/20030624

    No problems running the game. No animated ojects jumping - except the
    HERO himself (after pressing the long one, of course).

    Well... might it be the machine's /performance/ problem ?!
