Sorry for the late/dated reply; was looking at old informative responses as i am having my website totally refurbished. Useful to know what to look for..

That jpeg is very informative on its own; combined with what differences the browsers show is extremely useful. that arrow is to let someone go to the top easily.

The damn code is _supposed_ to show it ON SCREEN (800x600 and all others). And the site is supposed to fill the screen, not flake out and fill only the left half. Something i never knew about..and never checked by TemplateMonster. Also, the code is _supposed_ to be aware of screen size to "reformat", especially for mobile devices and various browsers.

At least i can (theoretically) test with IE6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11; SIX different hard drives or equivalent (like 6 different partitions obviously spread across at least 2 drives). Win7 necessary for IE10 and IE11; IE9 seems to work in winXP SP3.

Enough time and "progress" has passed, so i do not have to worry about IE5; only available if one fresh installs Win2K - not available as a separate install file AFAIK.

Seems to me that guaranteeing support for all Win browsers as far back as 5 years ago will be good enough.

Most all of the Android and other mobile devices seem to be kept up-to-date like the forcing of Chrome and Opera. That forcing makes it a bitch keeping an "old" version intact when online.

The good news,is that (space allowing on the HD) all versions of all browses EXCEPT IE can be managed in one OS. 54 major versions for FireFox, 38 major versions for Opera, about 54 major versions for SeaMonkey, 52 for Chrome, and maybe 5 for Safari (not there yet). Naturally, one cannot have a shortcut for all of them on the desktop due to screen space limitations. Besides,i see no need for anyone to support a browser over ten years old.

** Thanks again.

Has the site actually generated any revenue?
