"HTML Test Bed"

I'm sure many people already know about this but I thought it was still worth a mention for those that don't...


HTML Test Bed (from jmarshall.com)

As you will see this is years old but still works well.

A lot of the web stuff I do I'm afraid to say is just cobbled together! The Test Bed often comes in useful as a quick and simple way of experimenting with bits of code.

I've just looked at the other thread...

That's cheating, deleting stuff after the event! :¬P










[s]Hmmm...[/s]

We do but maybe they were doing it to show you an example? Keep you in the loop? :S

Alternatively they were just playing about in the wrong bit............ I know which one I believe is the truth :D

EDITED: For wording

ONLY TEASING

It's interesting how you are now using this live website and live forum to test your changes!?! :¬D



I would have thought you would have some type of test environment...

Ahh I fully understand that general web users will browse the internet with the blue "e" button, however obviously this guy is either "stupid" like you say, or as I have said his target audience does not include IE users.

Presumably most people who design websites or are web techies will use the more advanced web browsers. For example I use Firefox's plugin, Firebug daily to debug my JavaScript work. This is something I could not easily do in Internet Explorer currently.

I just got this book bought for my Birthday, which hopefully will give me even more power to design for all web users!

Then they are stupid! :¬P
See my visitors browser stats. 71% of my visitors are using IE.

So if people 'in the business' don't care about IE then they're not in the same business as me! ;¬)

Haha, I didn't check! How about IE7?

I guess some people "in the business" have stopped caring about IE, it obviously doesn't affect their target audiences.

Interesting that IE8 can't cope!

I found a more up to date live looking HTML and CSS test bed:

I suppose then that this is antique:-) I still use 1st Page 2000 - but it does an awful lot more than it says on the tin :-)
