 | View Full Version : Which browsers to test? mv808 03-16-2007, 12:03 AM I just finished my website, which i coded in XHTML/CSS. I tested it in the following, and it displayed correctly : Firefox 2.0.0.2 Internet Explorer 6 Netscape 8.1.2 Opera 9.10 Are there any others i left out? Should i also test my site in older versions of these? Thanks. Christina 03-16-2007, 04:46 AM K-Meleon Safari Konqueror Camino Perhaps create an alternative for mobile browsing? Yes, it's a good idea to test in semi-old versions of the browsers but only if the updated versions haven't been out for a very long time. This is just my opinion though. the_pm 03-16-2007, 08:10 AM Lynx Blazer and/or Opera Handheld IE or Fx with JAWS (http://www.freedomscientific.com/fs_products/software_jaws.asp) IE7 ;) Then, open up Opera and test user environments, your site with images removed, those sorts of things. fastnoc 03-16-2007, 10:55 AM yeah rather strange you didn't test it in the most popular current browser version VentureMaker 03-16-2007, 11:18 AM And don't forget to use online validator at http://validator.w3.org ;) digisquid 03-19-2007, 03:03 PM One quick note about IE. In the last month I've noticed a huge shift in my traffic from IE6 to IE7. Most of my users have migrated to IE 7 / XP now. Considering the differences between 6 and 7 then it's probably worth testing both. SparkJim 03-21-2007, 04:01 AM Hmm... Tough job for web designers nowadays so many browsers each with different settings timdorr 03-21-2007, 04:08 AM K-Meleon Safari Konqueror Camino K-Meleon and Camino use Gecko, so it would be redundant to check those. Safari and Konqueror also use the same engine, so pick one or the other. restinpieces 03-21-2007, 04:31 AM Hmmm.. I would try both Linux and Windows browsers... Linux: Konqueror and Firefox (they both use Gecko but they display web pages differently) Windows: IE 6 and 7 Firefox 1 and 2 Opera |
