Netscape Navigator Easter Egg - More "About:" Eggs

Are these really eggs?

No, Mr. DrD. These aren't really eggs, just undocumented commands.

These are documented on Netscape's Web site!

If you're using the Unix version of netscape, then "about:" followed by just about anything results in the response "Whachew talkin' bout Willis?" Here's to the resurrection of Gary Colman's career!

also, about:plugins to view all your plug-ins.

You can also type about:logo to view Netscape logo

In older versions of Netscape (pre-4.5 at least, I believe), anything you put after the "about:" URL would appear as written in the Netscape window, including rendered HTML code. Kind of neat, and handy for testing short code snippets or creating quick links to do a right-click and Save As for some files. Unfortunately, in version 4.7 and above, any about command it doesn't recognize results in a "?".

Netscape has addressed the "about:" commands issue at http://help.netscape.com/kb/consumer/19970513-4.html. Netscape Navigator and Netscape Communicator recognize several "about:" URLs that aren't mentioned in the documentation. Some of these serve a useful purpose; others are just there for fun. Beyond those mentioned before ("about:", "about:global", "about:mozilla" and so forth), one can also put the name of some of the developers after "about:" to see their home page at http://people.netscape.com/: marca, nelsonb, jelwell, etc. (Not operational in Netscape6) There are other special URLs: "javascript:" brings up the JavaScript console "javascript:JavascriptCode();" executes JavascriptCode(); And for development purposes: "livescript:" and "mocha:" URLs (Latter two may not work with Netscape6).
