I am currently testing the following browsers on my Debian/Linux system.
IE 5, 5.5, 6,
Firefox/Iceweasel
Opera
Is this sufficient for testing web pages?
I don't think I need to test for all browsers, and of course using linux
there are probably some browsers that I won't be able to test for, but I
would appreciate your intelligent answer.
thank you

Considering that the vast majority of Internet users use Internet

Test what you have access to and use browsershots.or g for the rest

Better than nothing of course, but be prepared for surprises on IE when
you actually get your hands on a winbox and test drive the browser,
changing fonts, changing browser size etc.

Testing with Konqueror shouldn't be a problem with Linux.
Ditto lynx.

In practice, this approach leads to _worse_ sites.
Test for validity and good practice first. Use one of the well-behaved
browsers as your initial working platform. If you test correctly
against the objective standards (this includes CSS validity) and you
follow good practices such as Strict DTDs, appropriate doctype
declarations, standards-mode rendering and avoiding features that are
known to be poorly supported, then you'll see good cross-browser
results even before you begin testing.
_Only_then_ start worrying about other browsers.
If your approach to "cross browser" begins with "my browser", then
"another browser", then particularly if one of these is IE, then
you'll make your work _worse_. This is especially true in teams, where
one coder might understand the real issues, but the average team
member doesn't.
Obviously I'm not saying "Don't test on IE". But don't test on IE
until you _already_ have standards-based testing in place, and use
good practices rather than focussing on the "throw it at IE until it
looks right" way.

No, you should also test in a KHTML rendering engine (safari or konqueror).

I have noticed that the meaning of visibility: collapse has been discussed
on different forums, but with no consensus on what it really means.
Besides, implementations differ.
The specification says:
"The 'visibility' property takes the value 'collapse' for row, row group,
column, and column group elements. This value causes the entire row or
column to be removed from the display, and the space normally taken up by
the row or column to...

Hi,
I have the below code in an asp page. When I run this page in IE or Opera it
correctly displays the header info and does not redirect me to 'test.html'.
However, when I run this in Netscape it goes straight to the redirect page
'test.html' which indicates that javascript is not enabled and it also does
not display the header info. Can someone tell me why this is happening?

it does not find the html within the span. Here is an example....

Hello,
Just wondered what range of browsers, versions and OSs people are using
to test pages. Also, since I don't have access to a Mac, will I have
problems not being able to test on any Mac browsers, or is there some
other way of checking?
TIA

Don't you just hate it when you've got something working in every browser (that you've tested on) except the XYZ browser?
It would be a good idea to document some strange or incorrect behaviours of particular browsers with possible solutions and workarounds.
These will be documented in the following format:

Give a brief description of the problem

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
