Cross-browser check: Updated site template

[superninjagoat]

Thanks again for all the help troubleshooting my United Way of Beaufort site redesign.

Here's my newest iteration: http://www.unitedwayofbeaufortco.org/new_way2/

I've redesigned the site in XHTML using divs for all positioning (althought I did include one table nested in the main-content div. It was just easier than putting in a half-dozen browser hacks.).

How does it look out there in Mac Land? I'm specifically looking to see if the table in the main content area skips past the pictures and runs the length of the content area. It looks fine in Safari 1.2 according to iCapture. ieCapture has it looking good in all but IE4. (But screw IE4. It ain't pretty, but you can read it.)

Looks good in everything less one small issue in IE/Mac - the position on the top and bottom horizontal bars seems pushed up.

I tried the page on my PC (running Gentoo Linux).
It works fine with Mozilla Firefox but with Konqueror it looks quite weired.
Attached a screenshot.

Looks fine on a Windows box running Windows 2000 and using Internet Explorer 6.something.

A handy dandy way to see just what your web sites will look like on multiple platforms and browsers.

looks fine in opera 7.5 on windows
and the mac (plus free BSD, linux and solaris) version of opera (now also 7.5) uses the same rendering engine so it should be fine.
I think there are a still a few opera 6 for mac users (7.5 is only beta, and some people don't trust beta software) but I don't have a copy of 6 to check. wouldn't worry too much though, it seems opera is horribly unpopular on the mac...

Glad to hear about the Opera update - I think part of the reason for its lack of popularity is that version 6 was pretty awful in terms of its rendering.

I'll give 7.5 a try.

it kicks ass on the pc

thay have obviously got the rendering right, adobe and macromedia are going to be using opera's rendering engine (presto) in their web design products

and you can get opera on cell phones, how cool is that!

The larges submit button <oh-my-gosh>EVER</oh-my-gosh>

Konqueror's got a whompin search button.

I have to say, I'm pretty pleased with my results. I've started on the University of South Carolina Beaufort Web templates now. I haven't gottent the thing fully working on and browser yet, but it's here if anyone's interested. You'll notice that this is not browser friendly either, and that supposedly was the "clean" template.

The code I started with was nuts -- like it was written in Word or coded by monkeys. I couldn't strighten it out, and it was due for an overhaul, so what the hell: That's why they pay me the big bucks. I wish.

BTY, if anyone cares, I can't make the menuing system work the same as it did in the past iteration. Same code. What gives? The divs for the top navigation should be dynamically created and absolutly positioned above the page itself. arggggg.

Sorry, punch drunk -- been doing mark-up and javascript for for about 33 hours straight. Just wasn't sleepy. Haven't done that since I was in high school. Off topic. Sorry. Going home to live to code another day. :loopy:
