What's new in Netscape Navigator 2.0
summary
Implements TodoMVC in Netscape 2.0 and later ports to Netscape 4, using frame-set state + document.write and then layer-based pseudo-components, because script src, DOM APIs and a JS console are missing. Shows concrete limits: no arrays initially, global-only functions, alerts for debugging, buggy CSS and only inline scripting. The Todo app actually runs — add items, check/uncheck, filter and clear completed all work — revealing how much engineering those early pages required.
