front page looks like that for me too, is just when going to the wheel packages it displays like it did up top

Well that's the closest to how it should look so far.

I suppose I could have just coded it all with tables, but it's nice to get away from using tables for layout if possible :)

Trying a bit of both ...

CS works absolutely fine in Opera 7, not found any problems yet...

PVD Alloys, however, does not:

Cheers!

Although why anyone would want to view an alloy-wheel website (where the main purpose of visiting is to view images of alloy wheels) with a text-only browser.

:P

You've not seen our user agent log then :D

Like I say, I'd like to have it fairly cross-platform. When you say 'messy', could you screen dump it?



Whilst CS probably isn't the most accurate representation of web users as a whole, IE isn't far off that percentage of the market share.

There isn't one browser that is 100% happy with CSS - there's so many fixes you need to cater for it makes more sense from a costs perspective to cater for the majority. Those with less significant browsers should be fully aware of the implications of using them on today's WWW - I've tried Opera (and infact I'm currently using Mozilla) and at the end of the day, IE is so much better.

I can't show you a screenie right now, our *nix box at work shows CS surprisingly well though.

I will check pvdalloys.co.uk when I'm back if you like.

Trotty, how does it look in Lynx? Most if not all of my sites should be more than happy in text-only/screen reader browsers - it's just the display elements of CSS have become a bit messed up across the latest browsers...

Thats what ya get if you dont click exactly on the text link within the drop-down menu, or if you click on a line between sections. It's ok in konqueror, but I think its probably related to how mozilla handles javascript.

Microsoft is just shoved in everyones face though, like it or not you get it & its not an option unless you build your own machine :P explains the results :lol:

CS runs ok in both Konqueror & Mozilla 1.51, but the menu is a bit messy at times in mozilla

apart from that no probs here (linux)

just making a website for IE is silly... not everyone uses it

How is CS? I don't test it too well as I've not much installed but I'd like to know how it behaves.


Joff

Having a site that validates through any parser isn't the be all and end all with complying to W3C recommendations.

Looking over some of the warning that throws up, there are a few tweaks that I could do to fix them - just stuff where I've been rushed and it tests and runs in IE 6 so... moved on to my next item on the to-do list ;)

I also think using the correct Doctype would fix a couple of points, but it's a lot easier to just use Transitional and let the (MS) browsers do the rest ;)

Funny you should mention W3C...

Yeah, relies on CSS-2 quite a bit and as IE 6 has the most complete W3C implementation, we decided to go with IE only.
