If you use something other than firefox 2 or ie 7 can you please check this out...

Does the blue header area on this page look like the usual adt header?

Thanks!

If anyone knows of a reasonably priced browser emulator that would be great too.

Hello Steph,

Browsershots might be of interest to you. From the site's description:

This service is for free. Sadly It doesn't seem to work with forum.adultdvdtalk.com, but the service is still in alpha state.


A commercial alternate I've heard good things about is BrowserPool. You can test BrowserPool ten times for free. From BrowserPool's website:

Thanks, Milo. Online ones won't work with our site due to our entrance page mechanism. Browser Pool is pretty expensive - $400+ yearly.

So no need to check my test page - I made the new header live. Please let me know if you have any problems. Basically I'm just cleaning up some clunky code.

Very nearly. It's a few pixels taller, and the ADT logo is a few (just a few) pixels down and to the left. And the "Gay DVD Review" link to the right is missing. It's also missing on your new default front page.

I tried with Konqueror 3.5.5 and Opera 9.10 on Linux.

In the Opera browser on the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet, the blue strip stops short of the right edge.


Which browsers are you concerned about? If it's Safari on the Mac, and you don't want to buy a Mac to test on, perhaps Drew could put Kubuntu or some other KDE friendly Linux distro on a spare PC and test with Konqueror. Safari's renderer is based on KDE's KHTML.

Otherwise, I'd say that if the pages work well in Explorer 6+7, FireFox and Opera on Windows, they ought to work OK in most other browsers.
Getting the thumbs up from validator.w3.org would, IMHO, be a nice touch as well.

Steph, if you want to test your website in various IE versions, then the free software Multiple_IE is higly recommended, which allows you to install multiple versions of IE on your PC. Good stuff!

K - I'm not done with the page, redoing it piece by piece - using a validator. I know I didn't position the logo in the same exact place and removed the gdr link as it should be with the rest of the navigation. The main goal of the header redo was to remove the table.

I'm interested in any browser feedback, but I'm not going to spend too much time on any that don't compose at least 1% of our traffic - which means ie, firefox, safari, opera, netscape.

With some other sites I'm working on I had css probs with ie6 (which I have on my laptop at home, but not at work where I am now.)

I might've spoke too soon, I now have a bottom scroll bar that won't disappear, even if I maximize, or change the width of the browser. Don't ever recall that being there before. Maybe a product of the current testing?

EDIT to add: Looks fine with Firefox, but even though I hate Microshit, I still rather use IE 6. I tried 7, but thought it was crap. Had to many changes and useless spam and spoof site "blockers." Had to allow almost every site I went to, I would hate to do that on all links I click.

Just kidding.

On the e-mail log in page it is malfunctioning, you only get the ADT logo and below it the banner advert and everything else is missing.

Works well with Safari Version 2.0.4.

As for an emulator, better work with the real thing and test (good excuse to get a Mac and a Linux machine as well).

No, but it's gone now. I was unable to answer sooner because my computer got fucked by rotten software so I had to reformat and reinstall. Just got back online.

My screen resolution is 1152 x 864 now, pretty sure that's what it was before the reformat too, but since I lost all my setups, I can't be certain.
