Hello Carbonize
When I create a design, I try to test it in as many brower as I can. But there are so many browsers, platforms and OS !
I stopped checking with IE4 1 year ago, because I couldn't see anymore login in my stats (less than 1% of my visitors used it at that time, so it was time to stop !). Now I'm checking for IE5+ full compatibility, seems reasonable even if IE6 IS the browser today.
I also test within NS4, but I should stop. Now that the whole Netscape story is dead, Mozilla should be the way. Of course I test my websites with Mozilla also - Who could not afford to test with Mozilla ?
.. Opera.
Up to now, I have seen no relevant contact from my log files. Opera is not really used as far as I can see, and in my mind it was supposed to be an old "text only" browser. I have to update. Regarding your post and the emphasis you put on it, I will check their browser - but it seems that I have to pay for that ? !"@~@##!.
Indeed, the main issue I encountered is the Mac. Their versions are not relevant to us on PCs : IE5 on Mac is based on an IE4 core!. Well, I have some eMac here but testing so many browsers on so many platforms sometimes gets on my nerves (I was about to say : sometimes sucks me, but I'm not sure it's great english ?). And I do not really test SUN, but I experienced some issues a few months ago. Now solved.
A+
Jean-Pierre
