My first guess is that you are making use of some CSS that is not
supported in NS 4. It is rather old... We support NS 4 for most of
our apps and have never had any issue with the HTML generated by WO.
CSS on the other hand... :-(

In general, the HTML generated by WebObjects is completely up to you.
It is the developers responsibility to write HTML that will work in the
desired browsers. There are a few built-in WO components that generate
HTML---it's possible some of these generate HTML that is incompatible
with Netscape 4.0, although I have yet to see this myself, most of the
built-in components that generate HTML generate very simple HTML that
should work in any browser. And in general, most of the HTML being
delivered by your app did NOT come from a built-in WO component, it was
written by the developer.
Well, except in the case of D2W. If you are using D2W, then indeed most
of the HTML generated came from built in WO components. I haven't used
D2W much myself though---most of the built-in component generated HTML I
have seen has been very simple and should work in any browser at all, so
I'd expect this would be true of D2W as well, but don't know for sure.
But if one's app isn't working properly on Netscape 4.0, the first thing
to assume is probably that HTML written by your own developers isn't
working properly on Netscape 4.0, not that the probably minimal HTML
that came from a built-in component isn't working properly. Although if
you are using D2W, there's perhaps slighlty more reason to suspect WO.
In any case, the thing that needs to be done is identifying exaclty what
HTML is not working properly, then figuring out where this HTML is
coming from, then figuring out how to fix it.
It is certainly possible to develop apps targetting any browser at all
in WO.
Hope this helps,

We use webobjects to develop our site. We wanna our site to support
both IE and netscape(including
netscape 4.0 and even older versions).
But we found that it does not shows up correctly in netscape version
4.0 and older versions. Could
you give me some information about the limitation of webobjects
developed pages and/or some
solution?
Thanks in advance.
