Do You Check With Differnt Browsers?

[wsac]

When you design Websites do you check the compatibility with others Browsers than IE? If yes what are the other browsers?

 

[GamesCreation]

I do.

Firebird, Mozilla, Netscape, IE 5 and IE6

 

[GordyMac]

Actually, No I don't personally... sometimes I will ask a friend with a different browser to look at it though..

 

[GamesCreation]

I dont do it personally though, I set up a script to do it. I just click it, wait a few seconds and the same page loads in each browser. Then I can see whats wrong and whats ok

 

[getyourbanners]

I check on netscape & I.E. Only

Safari
Opera
IE
Mozilla
Firebird
Chimera
Netscape

All on the Mac.

 

[GamesCreation]

Wow, that's a lot. Whlo needs that many browsers?

 

[imported_maxhest]

[GamesCreation]

It works in firebird, although the edge of the guarentee thing disappears into the side

 

[wsac]

I use;
Safari
Opera
IE
Mozilla
Firebird
Chimera
Netscape

All on the Mac.

wow that alot browsers but I guess is good to check all the browsers to see it look good

I only use mozilla and IE but theres a lot of differences sometimes for layouts in the different browsers so its always good to check if you can anyway.

Actually a site I made, I checked on an iMac.. didn't look quite right.. site is http://t2.capertech.net/

 

[RobAPI]

It looks fine here Gordy, Im using IE
What is the name of the browser on the iMac?

I have never tested any sites with a Mac

 

[GordyMac]

Internet Explorer, which I found weird, cuz thats what I tested with too..

 

[imported_maxhest]

Well, mac is a bit different, but still nice.. I am looking to get a mac, ibook

Go Mac! I was a PC user for 15 years and got a job that required using Macs. I figured I could fake it and now 4 years later ( I still have the job so I must have faked it well enough ) I am a complete convert. Never been happier and with the OS being Unix, it's smooth and stable.

 

[RobAPI]

Do you have many problems with sites in Mac?
Are you using Mac now?
Would it be closer to mozilla or IE for the default browser?

 

[imported_kylebellamy]

Actually, the defaulty out of the box is something called Safari but I find most peoplle split into two camps.

The converts like me tend to go towards IE as it seems to be the most forgiving of non-standard code although most of the tricks like the colored scroll bars don't work.

The lifers tend to go with either the Mozilla option or in the case of the new OS, the built in browser.

The real trouble tends to be that none of them support any wide bunch of protocols so you end up with IE handeling DHTML better than Mozilla but not as much CSS which Mozilla seems to do better with.

I have on my system for the puropse of testing for Mac compatability (I'm a little biased but then most of the higher end graphics people, and I'm not generalizing here, there are always acceptions, etc etc etc, use macs):
Opera
Firebird
Camino
IE
Mozilla
Safari
Netscape
Firefox

All are Mac OS based browsers. Camino, Firefox and Firebird are Mozilla offshoots. As it turns out, according to my web stats, the majority of Mac users that visit are using IE or Safari.

So if you code to fit them, you'll be doing well.

I try to check on as many browsers as possible. I actually keep in mind some feature (such as layers) look quite different from browser to browser so I try to use them.

I test on Mac, Linux, and PC. Checking IE, Mozilla, Netscape, Firebird, etc.
