"Browser Test Request..."

Hello

I have been working on a new portfolio site this week and would like some feed back on behaviours in certain browsers. The site is Standards Compliant and uses xHTML (transitional) and CSS2.

Basically, I can't be bothered to install new software at the moment due to getting a new machine in a couple of weeks.

Now I know how it looks in IE6 (use this as a reference), Moz 1.2.1 and NS7 (all Windows based) and anything below IE5 & NS6 should get a nice page informaing them that their browser is cr@p (/basic.php) and that they should upgrade based on the webstandards.org recommendations.

I would be interested in anyone using a Mac (IE/Safari etc) and Opera (all platforms). The aim is to find which browsers can't render it properly and use more scripting to redirect those browsers elsewhere, or even as far as loading alternative CSS's based on OS/Platform/Browser.

There's no content yet, it's just a shell of templates at the moment.

Comments welcome too.

It's fine on Opera 7, no difference between that an IE6 as far as I can tell.

It worked with IE6 on XP for me before. It's XP SP1, not sure if it's actually IE SP1 though.

Works nicely now.

Great site.

Works fine in IE 5 for Mac, looks nice too :-)

Still don't work for me :)

Netscape 7 does though and the site looks cool :D

Tom/Cjh... There was a small bug in the JS detecting wich browser, but now fixed and definately works with XP/IE6SP1. I'll probably switch the redirect to PHP later. For now, just go to..

Christ. That was a little subconscious.

As true as it may have been, I actually meant "have"

I also got redirected off to that basic.php page saying I needed to update.

I hate Windows XP, IE6 service pack 1.

Don't know if it would be anything to do with security settings on my PC though...

Did you use JavaScript to do the browser-detecting??

Maybe it's just a slight bug in my browser?

Odd... I've run it through IE6.0:WinXP Pro & IE6/SP1:Win2K with no problems? and fine on IE6:WinME too! Any ideas anyone?
