I'm one of the folks behind www.artifiction.com, and online gallery space for contemporary artists. Right now though, what Im most concerned about is compatibility with Mac browsers. I've been able to check out on my machine (WinXP IE6/Moz-Firebird 0.8 ) and all is fine. One of the other developers has also tested Mac Mozilla (latest).

It did throw up some weirdness on IE on his Mac, which got me a little worried, so I thought I'd throw it in here & see if how the "general public" (ish) fare.

There are works-on-everything ways of doing this, but Im trying (for simplicity/speed) to stay standardsish. This is mostly all CSS with some javascript for compat with the least bad of the bad browsers. How well it degrades is another question.

Things to look out for:
top page menus (right place, popping down, selectable, pretty?)
artwork hovering info-boxes (visible?)

So, give it a click and just say what you see: www.artifiction.com

Thanks in advance for any help here folks,

OK,

There are couple of great services out there that should help people out:

iCapture - For PC users who SHOULD check how things look in Safari.

ieCapture - For Mac users without a PC who want to check how there site looks in various version of IE, Netscape and Opera. You can even see how it will look at different resolutions.

And to hell with poeple using bad browsers

Wow, thanks for those someone had mentioned iCapture elsewhere, but the ieCapture is a new one. Im with you on the bad-browsers things.... Trying to accomodate them all just prolongs the problem.... if all of a sudden everyone stopped back-bug-quirk-fixing I think people would change pretty quickly Standards... standards... less rsi for me...

...theres a lawsuit in there somewhere
