Browser Compatibility Issues

The design of this web site has given consideration to cross-browser compatibility. For the most part, this has been achieved. Compability tests have been performed with the following browser/operating system combinations:

  • Windows [NT 4.0, 2000, XP]: Firefox (v1.0, v1.07, v1.5, v2.0)
  • Windows [98, NT 4.0, 2000, XP]: Internet Explorer (v5.0, v5.5, v6.0, v7.0)
  • Windows [98]: Netscape Navigator (v4.6x, v4.75, v4.79, v6.1, v6.2.1, v7.0, v7.1)
  • Linux [Fedora 8]: Firefox (v1.5, v2.0)
  • Linux [RH FC4]: Firefox (v1.0, v1.5, v2.0)
  • Linux [RH7.1]: Netscape Navigator (v4.78)
  • Linux [RH7.1]: Konquerer (v2.2.1)
  • Linux [RH7.1]: Mozilla (v0.9.2.1, v0.9.7)
  • Linux [RH7.3, 8.x]: Mozilla (v1.0, v1.4)

The following exceptions/non-consistent behaviours have been noted (to date):

  • Older web browsers (versions of IE before v5.5, versions of Netscape including and before v7.0) probably will not work with many of the newer AJAX/Javascript/DHTML features of my web page (e.g. the google maps API integration).
  • The Image Gallery web pages use javascript for popping up image enlargements. You may notice a slight oversizing of the margins of popup images when using Internet Explorer (v5.0, v5.5).
  • With some compound HTML table constructs, Netscape Navigator (all versions, platforms) incorrectly displays background images. This flaw is not service-affecting.
  • Netscape Navigator v4.x can take a looong time displaying nested tables on certain pages.
  • Strange problem with Mozilla (0.9.x?) regarding middle click: strange interaction with javascript popups - recommend only using left click with popups and this browser. Besides, middle-click means 'open in new window' which is not needed with popups in the image galleries on this web site.
  • Mozilla (0.9.x) and Konquerer (v2.2.1) have some trouble with the way I've arranged text input fields - they are out of alignment.
  • Mozilla 1.0 (tested on Linux only) has a problem displaying the calendar month popup in my Date Entry Picker elements (e.g. on the Adirondack High Peaks Page climbing log search).
