Sammy, I am moving away from using tables, and unless I am displaying tabular data I don't expect to be doing tables, but the advice is appreciated.


I have found that IE does not display well between different versions. If you design to a browser that matches the W3C standards more closely, you may find that most versions of IE will display reasonably well.

Fortunately, IE share of the browser market is slipping, and maybe soon they will fall behind FF.

Cary,

What is Acid3?

Ya me too... never heard of acid3 what is it?

Strange, Cary, I just ran that on my browsers and Chrome PASSED 100/100 while FF 32- bit was 96/100 and IE8 was 12/100... FF 64- bit is buggy, but then again it's a beta load

WebKit (the Safari and Chrome engine) and Opera do the best jobs of it. When I tested Chrome, it left an X in the top, right corner which shouldn't be there. So, yes, very close to passing.

Here are the Acid2 and 3 browser tests:

Hi folks, am knee deep in browser differences at the moment in London UK. Does any one know if it is possible to install the safari browser on a windows xp service pack 3 computer alongside Firefox 3 and IE 7 and access it from Coffee Cup?

You can install and run Safari on a WinXP machine, no problem. I don't know what you mean by 'access it from Coffee Cup'.

Hi Ingar,

We meet again ! Thank you for your advice. A great help. The guys in the Apple Store at Regent Street in London also say that you can install Safari alongside Internet Explorer & Firefox On Windows XP.

Do wonder though if Windows Safari is a special version? Internet Explorer has a special version to run on apple computers !

Any way it must be a lot better than travelling to the Apple Store to check things which I have been doing. There seem to be no Apple based internet cafes in South London the area I operate in.

The good thing about the Regent Street Apple Store is that they have all the versions of hardware and screen sizes so it is worth trying things out. Swear though that the different machine versions browse slightly differently, but I just can't cope mentally with that !

Has to be working on Apple Safari as that is what the client uses.

Feel if it works with IE7/8, Firefox and Safari that is as much as you can do.

Ingar in answer to your question what did I mean by 'access safari from coffee cup' I meant to say select from the 2007 editor as 'Test with default browser' 'Test with favorite browser' etc etc.

Question really was can you select Safari from within the CC HTML 2007 editor as a test browser alongside IE and FF

All the best

Nigel

Yes, you can select Safari as one of the browsers within CC HTML Editor. I have it running, and selected from the Editor.

Not a big issue, but my name is IngEr, not IngAr. That is a different name here.
