Browsers...
or... honestly... do I really need to explain THAT?!?!! |
|
| |
You might
be viewing this with Internet Explorer, maybe Netscape... perhaps even
Opera - who knows? That's the point, you don't know when you're designing
web pages, so it's always best to check the way your page looks using
several different browsers! You'd be surprised how different things can
look if you're using a different browser to view 'em!

Browser... |
Need
it? |
|
| |
Internet
Explorer 6
|
The
latest browser from Microsoft - a good easy to use browser which comes with
Outlook Express as it's e-mail package. As with most browsers, it's free!
If you want to view web pages designed using Microsoft Word or FrontPage
accurately, then having Internet Explorer is (unfortunately I would say)
a must. |
|
| |
Lynx
Viewer |
Not
the Lynx browser itself, but a site
that shows you what your page would look like in a "text-only"
browser. Be prepared for some interesting effects! This is a really good
test to see if your site is accessible to people who are visually impaired.
I've seen a number of sites that talk about an interest in disabilities
and then can't be interpreted by a text reader!! Check your site here!! |

NetCaptor
7.2.2
|
Bet
you've never heard of this one! NetCaptor is based on IE and is available
in two versions - one free and one with "extra features for a price".
The nice thing about NetCaptor is the way it allows you to browse in separate
windows in the SAME browser - and gives you that nice 'n' familiar IE interface.
This could be the one for you! |

Netscape
7 |
Available
on the OU's Online Applications CD... not sure what I make of it, certainly
displays Microsoft generated pages better than its predecessors, but...
hmmmmm... Jury's out! Netscape Composer is a useful addition to have though
and that's included, so get a copy and see what you think! |
|
| |
Netscape
Navigator 4.7
and
previous versions...
|
Lots
of people are still using Navigator in its version 4 incarnation, and this
is the one where you'll find a lot of Microsoft generated HTML goes belly
up! It's a good idea to get a copy, for testing purposes if nothing else. |
|
| |
Opera
7 |
THE
minority browser! It's now in version 7 and available for free. The free
version has an ad banner running, and anyone upgrading from a previously
registered version gets away with no banner! I really like it, and if you're
running an operating system other than Windows - Linux, BeOS, EPOC for example
- then Opera might be just the browser you're looking for! Small an' quick
- take a look!! |
