If you got here via the XK Data, Saloon Data, XJS Data, XJ6 Data or the Healey Data nav bar, this blog can't "live" on multiple domains as the blogging software doesn't support it. The items discussed below apply to all domains, and I'll endeavor to highlight items from all sites.

Display Issues

Filed under: Deep Thoughts

In theory, this site displays as follows.

  • Exact rendering: IE7, Firefox (any version for Windows), and Safari.
    (Firefox for Mac should be in that group, too, but surprisingly it often has “issues”)
    Users of these browsers should see what I intended: The top, left and bottom nav bars are stationary while the page content scrolls behind them. (Except in this blog, where the bottom nav bar sometimes lives its own merry life at the bottom of the content instead of the bottom of the browser window.)
  • Reasonable rendering: IE6
    IE6 users see the site with the top, side and bottom bars scrolling with the page content. The left nav does not continue below the depth of the initial screen.
  • You-probably-cannot-read-this awful rendering: IE5.5 and below, any Netscape below version 6, any IE for Macintosh
    Sorry. Less than 1 in 200 users visit with any of these browsers, and they’re now well past their prime.
  • Unknown: Opera, Konquerer and other small-market-share browsers. I suspect the latest version of Opera works, but the others, not so sure.

If you’re in the first two groups and you get unexpected results (like the bottom nav bar appearing in the middle of the page) please drop me a line with your browser and operating system. No guarantees, but I’d at least like for IE6 users to not have any issues, as that’s still the majority of you.

One sure-fire solution: use Firefox.
