Re: Mozilla successes.

Peter,

is there a Sun SVG build, or plans for one?

the standard SVG nightly builds are here:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/contrib/latest- 
trunk/

I'm particularly concerned at the lack of keyboard support, but SVG and  
accessibility offer significant potential advantages.

regards

Hi Tom & Esther Ward,

I'm delighted to hear of your successes.  Thank you for the report of  
problems with the Sun Java download page; we'll look into it.

We are working to integrate all of our bug fixes into Mozilla trunk,  
but that process is unfortunately a bit slower than we'd like.   
Meanwhile, I encourage you (and everyone else who is interested) to try  
the semi-weekly uploads of the Sun Mozilla builds, and share with us  
the results of your explorations. We are very keen to hear user  
experiences (and especially any bugs that you find).


Regards,

Peter Korn
Sun Accessibility team
