Subject: RE: Tech: Browser problem
treewind -
If you have an obscure (relative to MS) browser and you have a spare moment any chance you could look at http://cresby.com ? Apart from noticing any obvious (not to me that is) sillies it would be nice to know if Galleon handles my few lines of java that exorcises the framed banner ad. TIA

Sadly the lowest common denominator is technically fairly low
and regards the users - almost as low. They are there to be informed and they might like to think a bit but not if they are just surfing - I have found they need help and it takes another brain to tell you what is not so blindingly obvious. A tech savvy user with a fresh take on what you are doing is a great help. It was a hard lesson for me. The ISP and webspace you use may not help. eg I no longer use Angelfire, they have a file size limit they don't tell you about, and loading via their FTP/preview may not reveal it.
Have a couple of old browsers just for checking - Netscape 4.5 and IE4 say should tell something before you go public on a new iteration of the page.
My experience is: - go to the site from another machine (I am down at the library here) and see what happens. Try all the links - the one you don't is the one that is broken - usually. Murphy was right!!!!
