Seamonkey vs. Firefox 1.5 - Mozilla

I'm currently still running Mozilla v1.7.12. A website I use has a
feature which works correctly with IE, but not with Mozilla v1.7.12. The
site's author says it works properly with Firefox v1.5, and believes the
problem is due to a problem with Javascript support in the older browser.

I use Mozilla for both web browsing and mail/news, and I would prefer to
stay with an integrated suite rather than Firefox/Thunderbird. My
question: Is Seamonkey v1.0.1 based on Mozilla v1.7 or on Firefox v1.5?

Thanks!

SeaMonkey 1.0.1 uses the same Gecko Runtime Engine (GRE) as Firefox
1.5.0.2 so what works in FF 1.5.0.2 should also work in SM 1.0.1.

SeaMonkey 1.0.1 and Firefox 1.5.0.2 are both based on GRE 1.8.0.2.

how about posting a link to the site so others can go and check it out
and see whats going on. Maybe someone can recommend changes. There's
one or two experts on javascript that pops in once in a while.

The Pathfinder Web Client, available via

http://www.dxlabsuite.com/pathfinder/WebClient/

lets you type a callsign once and then search multiple web sites for QSL
information with one mouse click per site. It can search 11 sites that
provide information for callsigns from many countries, and it can search
more than 70 country-specific online callbooks.

The Pathfinder Web Client now provides an indication of whether a
country-specific callbook is available as you type into its Target
Callsign textbox.

When the Target Callsign textbox is empty, the country-specific callbook
search button is labeled "CBA: ?", and clicking it has no effect. As you
type a callsign into the Target Callsign box, the Pathfinder Web Client
attempts to identify the callsign's DXCC entity. If the entity is
identified and a country-specific callbook is available, the
country-specific callbook search button is labeled with the callsign's
country's DXCC prefix. Typing VK9NS into the Target Callsign box, for
example, will produce a "CBA: VK" button that when clicked will search
the Australian online callbook.

no.

Both use the same rendering engine, at least in theory, but it's not
really "based on" as most people would think of it.

I have noticed, however, that Firefox will render sites which Seamonkey
1.0.1 will not. I used the "report a broken page" feature, hopefully
that will result in a fix. Since the symptom was a total crash of SM and
all windows, and I was an hour into a file download, I did NOT bookmark
the page. I assume the developers will have it.
