Warning:<\/b><\/font> Extremely website developer technical talk ahead. <\/p>\n

Click here<\/a><\/b> to skip the jargon.<\/p>\n

For all the fun, and all the curiosity, I’ve installed Netscape Navigator 6.2.2<\/a><\/b>, Opera 5.12<\/a><\/b> and K-Meleon 0.6<\/a><\/b> (a lighter version of Mozilla) just to test whether my site would look right in it.<\/p>\n

All the pages looked fine (duuuh, I hand-coded them) but some skins have weird artifacts.<\/p>\n

Infinity<\/a><\/b> animates in Internet Explorer 4<\/b> onwards and Opera<\/b>, but doesn’t on the other 2 browsers. I was surprised that Opera<\/b> pulled off such JavaScript well!<\/p>\n

Blue<\/a><\/b>, Under Construction<\/a><\/b> and Classic<\/a><\/b> all work fine in all browsers. Somebody get me a golden star sticker to put on my site!<\/p>\n

Green<\/a><\/b> (which is currently the default skin) doesn’t sit in well in the topleft corner of Opera 5.12<\/b>. (I suppose Opera 6<\/b> would have better CSS support.) I could<\/b> actually get rid of the margin, but it would be against the laws of valid HTML 4.01<\/b>, and I wouldn’t be able to keep the geeky icon at the bottom of my Green<\/a><\/b> skin. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Frame<\/a><\/b> only looks correct in Internet Explorer<\/b>; every other browser puts scrollbars everywhere. Opera<\/b> won’t even let me get out<\/b> of the frame; apparently somebody needs to teach them what TARGET<\/i>s are for. Netscape won’t load pages on top of frames; instead it opens a new window. Only K-Meleon<\/b> gets with the program on this one.<\/p>\n

Mirror<\/a><\/b> looks nice in every browser, but the namesake’s effect shows only in Internet Explorer<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Not bad for compliance, huh? The only really un-user-friendly skin would be Frame<\/a><\/b>, but even then, that can<\/b> be adjusted with some nifty JavaScript. Heh.<\/p>\n

Which browser, you may ask, is most compliant with my<\/b> website? Internet Explorer<\/b>, duuuh! However, every other browser has it as a tie – Infinity<\/a><\/b> shows correctly in Opera<\/b>, but a simple thing like CSS margins in Green<\/a><\/b> is not supported in Opera<\/b>! Frame<\/a><\/b> looks distorted in every other browser.<\/p>\n

On a side note, it’s a pleasant surprise to see Netscape Navigator have link highlighting (you know, those dotted lines around links when you choose them?)<\/p>\n

<\/a>There you go. You’ve passed the geek talk. You are verrry brave. Here, have my golden star sticker. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
