Could you check my page please?

Looks good on IE 5.5, Win98 se, 1024 x 768

1024x768 checking in with NS6.1, NS4.5, and IE5.0

BTW, I also signed up with Netmechanic today for their new Browser Photo Feature.[nbsp][nbsp]I held off for quite some time as it seemed horribly expensive ($120/annual per domain unlimited use or $15 to run it once on a single url) but I was getting such a headache with FutureQuest's new website I couldn't help but to go for it.[nbsp][nbsp]I must say, I'm quite impressed.[nbsp][nbsp]Within 20 minutes I had 14 excellent views of the site using various browsers at various resolutions on various operating systems including, NS, IE, AOL, WebTV, and Opera mixed between Mac and Windows...

Within 2 hours the problems we had been fighting with for over a month were fixed :D

I wouldn't recommend the system for "most sites" as _usually_ just posting to forums such as these will give you all the feedback you need, but if you're doing web design for a living and/or have a site that _must_ be viewable in all browsers etc it may very well be worth it.

Thanks for your looks, everyone!

Deb, NetMechanic looks interesting... can you (in each browser) resize the browser window and reload the page?[nbsp][nbsp]It didn't look like it from the tour.

Also, it looks like they only do 4.0 browsers and up; I think its still too early to totally write off 3.0 browsers (depending on your site's target audience, of course).

BTW, (from NetMechanic) "Building a test laboratory to get the same capability would cost at least $4,500." isn't quite true.[nbsp][nbsp]Get a Mac, load it up with every Mac browser you care to get your hands on, then get Virtual PC and do multiple installations of it, each with a different version of IE (you can install different versions of Netscape on the same machine, but I believe its difficult / impossible / undesirable to do so with IE... or not?).[nbsp][nbsp](And do an installation with Linux if it suits you :) )

But while we can test pages locally with a myriad of setups (with NetMechanic, Mac / VirtualPC, etc.) until we go blue in the face, it still helps to ask for feedback in forums like these, as everyone's setup has its own unique idiosyncrasies, and its impossible to emulate every single one.[nbsp][nbsp]Hence, like, beta-testing...
:)

Hi!

Could I request that people look at this "template" page and let me know if it "behaves" or not?

http://123math.ca/pages/_TEMP_.html

(It should look something like this: http://123math.ca/pages/demopage.jpg )

I would especially appreciate if people look at it on the not-so-bleeding-edge versions of Internet Explorer for Windows, since I (still!) don't have archived versions of these beyond IE3 for testing purposes.[nbsp][nbsp]

Please let me know what browser, browser version and OS you are using if and when you look at the page.

Thanks very much in advance!

Harley
