Need some tested please =)
Hi,

I'm just putting the final touches together with my new design for GLinks, but am looking for some people with the following browsers, so they can test it out for me :) (I only have FF 3 and IE 7)

I'm still a good few hours from having a beta ready (still trying to squish some CSS bugs,and fix up a few templates) , but I thought its better to ask sooner than later :)

Obviously, anyone who tests it, and wants to use the design on their site (for free =)), is welcome (as a thanks for testing)

Cheers

Hi Andy,
sorry I only have IE and FF too, but do you know www.browsershots.org
There you can get screenshots from all known browsers...

Hope that helps ;-)

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, I got a membership with that site (for some other jobs I did). The only problem, is that you can't actually "see" the pages (i.e little quirks, such as hover colors not working, etc).

Will give it a go on there now though - just to see if I can spot any major bugger ups :D

Cheers

Hi,

Coming along nicely :)

http://www.ultranerds.com/...os/tidy/page.cgi?d=1

I'm gonna call it a day in a min - but if anyone has IE6, IE 5 or FF 2, please feel free to test it out - and lemme know if you spot anything that doesn't look/work right :) (cross browser compatability is a real PITA sometimes Unsure)

I'm actually really impressed with this set Cool

Cheers

Damn, just looked at that BrowserShots page, and it looks like IE 8 doesn't like the brown section at the bottom of the page.

Anyone got IE 8, that can test to see if this is the case?

Again, the URL is: http://www.ultranerds.com/...os/tidy/page.cgi?d=1

TIA

Hi Andy,
had a short look with FF2. The colours are a bit strange - brown footer ?
Found one thing
The footer Headlines are a bit behind the brown background...

Interesting - looks like IE 8 is actually just in beta ATM, so I wonder if they will fix whatever is causing the problem in my design :D

Most likely not - seeing as itas M$ :(

Interesting - I've just checked this site, my own site, and about another 10 sites - and all of them have pretty screwed designs in IE 8 beta 1. I got a feeling there is something really messed up with the new version of IE 8, so I'm not gonna worry about trying to get it fixed up until they at least get a stable version out :)

Actually it's the opposite. The previous versions were broken but IE8 adheres to web standards so web pages that don't comply will break.

A properly designed website will display correctly in IE8.

Not sure why. I've been using it on Vista Ultimate for a while now.

Ah really?

Doesn't matter too much - I happen to have a PC which I built for my sister, which has XP on already - so just wiring it all up now, and gonna download IE 8 BETA, and see how it looks =)

Welp, seems to be with this:

Code:
#footer
{
clear: both;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0 !important;
bottom: -1px;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

Weird thing is - if I shrink the browser window a little - it shows where it should - but refuses to when the window is full ... very odd :/

Cheers

Man - finally sorted. What I ended up doing, was just removing the brown bar bit - and making it so that they are just <li> lists, inside a 2 column table (and they only show on home.html now, to save on GLinks having to do the same work on EVERY page)

I'm already starting to hate IE 8, and its not even out for real yet Tongue
