Rob,
Sorry if I wasn't clear. These 3D real estate sites are certainly
viewable under Mozilla with the right plugin setup. When I tried to get it
working I sent some messages to both the Redhat and Gentoo lists and people
on both reported that they were able to view them correctly with specific
plugins.
The problem was that I was not able to view them with my setup, and
typically for life in Linux, the suggestions I got from different people
were just cryptic enough that I never found the solution and gave up. (Out
of date plugins required, or conflicts with other things installed, etc.)
I'm certain it was my stupidity and not that Linux/Mozilla (or Konqueror,
etc.) can't do it.
One day someone will do a site like the Plugger-5.0 testing site that
really gets this stuff installed and tested. That's a nice site that goes a
long way towards making sure you can view everything. It helped a lot, but
wasn't perfect.
Anyway, no big deal.
Thanks,
Mark
I had really good luck with Mozilla 1.5. The only
thing I've
found that doesn't work for me was some real estate sites that
had 3D viewing programs to look at houses for sale. They were
using a bunch of Java and I couldn't get Mozilla to handle
that even with the latest Blackdown stuff from Gentoo.
I've seen a bunch of 3D views like that and they were implemented
using Quicktime VR. I never cared for them so I haven't found
out whether they work in Crossover Plugin with Quicktime or not.
