Browser Compatibility

Netscape 4.7 cannot display certain visual nuances of the standard tree control. This tree has no borders and the title height differs from the standard tree (figure 1).

Figure 1: Example of the Standard Tree Figure 2: Example of the Tree in Netscape Navigator 4.7

The tree view is always opened completely in Netscape 4.7. It is not possible to expand and collapse nodes locally. The application has to handle these operations (requires server round-trip).
