Trying to get an idea of what some of you test your Web pages in before going live. I'm stuck to one computer to test my pages- of course I can drive around town to audition pages at campus, but it's not the most convenient method by any means.
~ anyone running a small operation with the same limited testing area? What are some of the ways you test your pages? The main problem I feel comes from being restricted to one IE browser.
Netscape 7, IE 6, Moz 1.1 and Opera 6.05 are up at the moment.
Thanks for some input
Opera 6/Win - Opera 5/Mac
Netscape 4.0/Win (the WORST!) - Netscape 4.7/Mac
IE 5.5/Win - IE 5/Mac
I was thinking that Opera pretty well took care of the newest "compliant" browsers, including Moz and the latest Netscapes (so far I'm relaying on others to tip me off on IE 6 problems, and it seems to behave much the same as Opera as well)...
differences between Opera, Moz and Netscape?
With paddings and margin only on my last project. At the moment I'd say Opera and Netscape are very well in tune / and of course Moz. But this could change as I get deeper in testing CSS-P- I've been using very slimmed down techniques for simplicity.
IE 6 problems, and it seems to behave much the same as Opera
One thing that really bothered me the other day about IE 6 was this simple rule:
#your-text {
padding: 15px;
margin: 0px auto;
background: #eee;
border: 3px solid #000;
width: 50%;
}
If we are using the browser window as the containing block. This <div> should be dead center on the page. So IE chokes and ignores the auto setting altogether. Opera/Moz/NN get it correct.
