UBB.Developers Forums General Discussion Suggestions and Feedback What browser version do users need to access 551?

Just getting a few emails from people not being able to access my board and tried to find some information on minimum browser version needed with no luck. Hope the wise folks here can help me

Thank u

You should be able to access it with most any browser... what modifications have you added tht might affect tables?

I ve got index pal 3.1, calendar 2.2, Inline post icons, user picture upload all running ok.

I have them all running on another test board that gets some decent use. I do know one person is using Netscape 4.76 and the others are a mixture of IE 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0 and this board includes all them hacks plus a few more of mine. I haven't had any complaints yet.

One of the easiest ways to get a quick check and see how your html is doing is to get a "view source" of a page, copy it into your favorite text editor and count the <table </table, <tr </tr, and <td </td tag and see if the numbers match. If they are unequal between the opening and closing tags, then you know you have some html problems. Netscape 4x is pretty unforgiving in these situations and you'll need to go in and see where the problem is and trace it back to your hacks that have been added.

If you have been told a particular page that has been giving them problems, post a link here and I'll help you go through it... it can be a tedious process, but your site will load faster and look better in all browsers once you've done the process.

Another way that might save you a little time is paste the url of a particularily problemsome page over at http://validator.w3.org/ - it wil help you pinpoint the areas that have problems.

Thanx guys,

I have sent an email asking what browser version, cookie enabled.....etc.

Once I get some specific info I can do some more. Thank you for the advice and suggestions. The work you put in is much apprciated.

Cheers.
