HTML - Old Browser Checking

Hey guys should I be worried about coding my site for the IE 5.x series or should I just concentrate on IE6 and IE7

So I'm developing a kind of desktop that u use by any browser.
The idea of this is that you can find files and go thru files easy and do other things at the same time. In a new design. So I have a test site that gives you an idea on how it going to look. I am a rookie when it comes to coding and such so it's a simple site. Please come with tips and stuff that I should add.
here is the test website. http://jaegarn.webs.com/
It all started yesterday when internet was shut down for one hour and I was bored
When im developing this now I'm making it in swedish but it's easy to translate it and if somone wants I could translate it for it's release to english.

So ya come with suggestions on what I should add and tips

Over N Out JaegarN

Hi, I've get this website http://jigsawpropertiesuk.com and it looks perfectly fine in firefox but once you use internet explorer thats when things start going wrong. the login/register thing at top is moved all the way to the right and so is the right fade picture. In addition near the bottom of the page where the posts are located the text is out of position. I have no clue what so ever why its doing this since I've never had this issue with other websites.

The css is located he http://jigsawpropertiesuk.com/wp-con...ties/style.css

Any help is appreciated

hi guys ... i m developing a static web-page using HTML . When i run the page in IE, it works well but it is not supported at the same time by Mozilla . So, where might be a bug in the script?

I was wondering on the board's opinion. Basically, the ALTtext element used in image display, provides two things:

1. Replacement text if the image should be abscent so that you can easily reference which image is missing and replace it.

2. Mouseover text of the image so surfers can get short extra information about the image.

Now, you may argue that a Browser should come set as default to ignore mouseover text. However, there is a reason why many web developers still use this in preference to an image title.

The reason being that it is extra programming for the developer to type out additional code which merely plays the same role as the original Alt attribute.

Some argue that the programmer shouldn't even give an Alt value! Sadly, in turn many browsers are unfortunately becoming designed without the Alt text attribute, making many Alt-text-specific sites hard to understand.

If you honestly find a small bit of mouseover text which really only exists for a fraction of a second intrusive of your surfing time then you've got issues.

Who agrees?

I just changed the logo for a site and now because the width and height dimensions are different from the old one the logo will look skewed to old customers coming to the site without refreshing their browsers. How do I solve this problem?

Hello all. I know that to view changes I've made to my website, I need to reload my browser or empty my cache. I'm just wondering if there's any way to have the site reload itself or something so that guests who have seen the old site don't have to hit reload to view changes. Thanks,

Ok I have developed the following website www.megacom-int.com. On firefox the scrolling of the latest projects on the left are displayed correctly. However when I use Internet Explorer the Latest Projects has blue background.

Whats more interesting is that if you click on Methodology using Internet Explorer, its like viewing it on firefox!

I dont understand why this is happenning, I have looked at the code and I see no difference!
p.s.Methodology file is in the same folder as it is on Our Team and Partners.

I hate everything microsoft, but I have no choice in the matter as it has to work on Internet Explorer as well.

Any help in the matter would be great

Best Regards

thanks so much.

I was wondering if it was possible to set us a code so that when someone is looking at my site in say Internet Explorer is would direct them to a site that displays the page how I have it set up for IE for them and one say for firefox and say safari. Thank you in advance, I appreciate it!

Hi there,

I am currently in the process of re-designing my girlfriends dads companies website and he has requested that customers can fill in a form, and when submitted the form gets emailed to his inbox. At the moment his website opens up outlook express, when the form is submitted, using the mailto: function, but he really doesn't like this.

Is there any other way of emailing from a browser without any programs popping up? I am open to suggestions on other ideas that may work here if anyone can think of anything.

Thanks in advance.

Tom
