Need browser/ platform testing

I'm developing a new navigational system for my new website. I have tested it on Win32 (IE6.0, Firebird, Netscape 7.2, opera 6.0, Netscape 4.7)

It works in all of those with the exception of NS 4.7 - which I will make an alternate site for.

Anyone using a browser not listed or one of those on a different platform - or even someone using one of these combos, please let me know of any problems. Once again, thanks in advance, you guys are really a big help.

PS: This site is in no way complete, I am testing function only.

Works in Safari, had to take a peak at the code to make sure there wasn't any text, though. Kinda freaked me out a bit, all those blocks and no content. Smiling

hehe, thanks for taking a look Suzanne. I just want to make sure I have most the bugs worked out before I start dumping in content. I'll post it in the Critique area once I get the content in.

Windows 2000: IE 6, Opera 6.05 and Mozilla 1.2.1
Looks the same on each one.

Konqueror 3.0.3 on Mandrake 9.0 looks fine

I'm sorry to say, it just doesn't work right in lynx. Wink

Wow, much appreciated Mark and disaster-master. Thank you so much.

Mark, is there any way I could get you to post lynx's navigator.appVersion & navigator.userAgent, and even better, maybe you have an idea why it isn't working correctly? I checked it in the W3C MarkUp Validation Service, as well as the W3C CSS Validator. It checked out in both, it only had a few warnings with the CSS. I would like to get it working in every combo possible, but I have already seen it would be less of an effort to make an alternate site for NS 4.7, that may be the case for Lynx.

Again, thanks, you have been a big help.

Heh, nicora, he's teasing you, sort of. Lynx is a text-only viewer. http://www.delorie.com/web/lynxview.html for an old version, and links to install it yourself.

Duh, I can be pretty oblivious sometimes. Thanks for the heads up Suzanne.

BTW, I get it now Mark - lol
