I used the information at

but unfortunately, not easy at all. The Mozilla developers helped us a
lot to develop the new version of the framework [1] (and fixed a few
bugs in the future release of Netscape 7 :).

Try the version developed by Bob Clary as well. The first version of the
DOM Level 1 TS was more IE specific than it should have been
unfortunately, especially since IE does not support ECMAScript. Anyway,
this explains why the JSUnit is being fixed in order to run on other web
browsers as well.
I cc'ed Dimitris Dimitriadis on this message since he is the (volunteer)
DOM TS lead and is in charge of making sure that the DOM WG keeps and
W3C members companies keep track of what the DOM TS is doing,

Regards,

Philippe
