259542 - Behaviors

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; MyIE2)
Build Identifier: 

I have installed the mariner, but still I could not execute the behaviors, 
which in IE work correctly.
I suppose that you know to that I refer: this property that IE has of creating 
labels that work with files htc.
In any moment will they support this technology?

Forgive if my English is not good, but I am using a translator, since only I 
speak spanish.

Thank you very much. I order them a hug.

Yo hablo Espanol, pero no comprendo nada. Es possible para explicar en tu idioma?

(PS: for those that don't understand Spanish: 'mariner' should have been
'navigator'. These automatic translators are funny)

We are not going to support IE .htc files/behaviors.  That's Microsoft
proprietary stuff.

You guys probably already know this, but the W3C does have a working draft for
behaviors. It just hasn't been touched since April 4, 1999.

As to why it was never ratified, only they would know for sure.

It hasn't been ratified because it was decided to use XBL (which Mozilla _does_
support) for W3C behavior stuff instead.
