...who said that??

I find all the browsers behave the same except IE6 which, unfortunately, many large companies are still using. Constantly looking for that missing setting that only IE6 worries about. Even something as Microsoft centric as iframes behaves differently in IE6 from every other browers.

I really am invisible aren't I.

Now I feel REALLY guilty

To make up for that and because you were the only one to test using Chrome ...

Thank You OrangeHopper

Works fine on IE 8.

I wouldn't worry about the other browsers personally.

I do have quite "interesting" discussions with a friend who is a web designer, and he loathes having to ensure a web site is compatible in the 3 million different browsers out there. It adds additional cost and headache.

I've advised him to try to encourage his clients and their customers to just using IE, but they are having none of it.

I hope another 20 browsers come out in the next few years, and then the Internet will be really pooched for users and designers.

Perhaps then people will realise that too much choice can be a bad thing.

I'll be fair and can tolerate 2 browsers in the market.

Whether that's IE and A.N.Other or just 2 A.N.Others doesn't matter.

Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.1: Safari Version 4.0.3 (6531.9) seems to be fine, as does Opera 10.00 build 6652

I've given up on IE entirely now, because it seems incapable of saving online news web pages in HTML - Just sits there for ages, and then suddenly bombs out with an error message. But I've never yet found a page FireFox can't save.

I gave up on IE at version 7. Not only is it a machine killer on my crappy old laptop, it even distresses my super-optimised dual-processor box. I have the versions there for testing but wouldn't willingly use them for surfing.

It's Charlie.. do you think you can get hold of the film, or are you hoping he might have a copy? If it's the former I'd love to get a copy for him.. PM an email address..

I can't do PM yet, but when (if) I get a copy of the film I'll let you know !

There's a really crappy streaming version here:

I've approached the TV company asking for a copy for the Conker people and for Charlie.

Yep, I'm getting on very well with FF3.5.3. IMO much faster than IE8 (which for some reason repeatedly locks up on me, never managing to load pages such as Google!)

Charlie Bray? or John Bull?

I'm trying to get hold of a film from 1996 about Charlie.

I 've just used IE for the first time in ages and couldn't find the address bar. Then I finally spotted it right at the top of the screen, d'oh! Usually I get an automatic invitation to download the latest FF, but havn't received one yet, so still on 3.014.
