What browsers should I be testing with?

[Naz]

I have IE5,AOL(new one) N4.6 and I think I also need opera but what about no-script old browsers and ones that don't understand graphics. <br><br>Also I think a version of IE4 or even 3 may be useful, if it is how do you get it on a win98 machine with IE5 already installed (with no uninstall).<br><br>Any and all advise is welcome, this subject is a real minefield.<br><br>Naz

&nbsp;&nbsp;My rule of tumb, is to always test out with one version before the latest in both IE and NS.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I also make good use of my counter that also keeps tab of users browsers.&nbsp;&nbsp;Most still use NS 4, very little people are using NS 5, actually, more people are using NS 3 than they are using NS 5.&nbsp;&nbsp;As for IE, I found that most are usign IE 5 and 4.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I rarely ever see any other browsers on my site, even though my first SF site is still Lynks compatible.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;Hope this helps. <p>Andre Vandal<br><a href=mailto:dezign@canada.com>dezign@canada.com</a><br><a href=

statistics say that more people use IE5 than most other browsers.<br><br>but forget the stats- NN6 is what people will be using in the future. it's also the most standards-compliant browser, so your code has a better chance of looking the way it's &quot;supposed to&quot; (as in, per order of third party W3C, not some browser with proprietary code).<br><br>I'd wait until NN6 has a real release before I'd start worrying too much, though... <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=

Thanks for the input, you've set my mind at rest somewhat. <br><br>I agree NN6 looks like a serious step in the direction of standardisation.<br><br>Naz <p>Guy<br><a href=mailto:guy@noisygraphics.co.uk>guy@noisygraphics.co.uk</a><br><a href=dont bother I'm still agonising over the text blurb.>Noisy Graphics</a><br>Experienced multimedia and game content artist, lots of 3d experience, also known to draw pictures.
