FF does not support Page Transitions (Meta tag).
|

|
FF does now show TypewriterText effect (JavaScript 1.2).

Several clientside JavaScripts do not run in Firefox nor
Safari. |

FF cannot show AVI via <img dynsrc=...> .
|
| IE can present sound simply via <img dynsrc= ...> within page.
|
FF cannot present background/inline sound via <img dynsrc=...> .
|
| IE has poor graphical processing of background image moving from
right to left over canvas (CSS in JavaScript).

FF has fluent background movement of image over canvas via
Cascading StyleSheet.

FF has a better FullScreen presentation of slideshow in browser window.
Pressing F11 gives a larger viewing area. |
|
FF cannot find a plugin for .AVI video's. |
| IE (on WinTel platform) can not handle Color Range Cycling in the spectacular
way as the Commodore Amiga could with graphic format *.ILBM. Even in animated
images: PageFlipping and ColorCycling together: Real-time psychedelic effects

| Sadly enough, Microsoft has abandoned its own multimedia tag in the newest
version of Internet Explorer: 'img dynsrc' will not work anymore in IE v.7 . It
is a very handy and simple to use tag-attribute for inline sounds or direct
video films within a webpage. Yet again, another blunder of MSFT. Many websites
have to be re-coded. |
