OT: POLL, 1024x768 or 800x600 ?

The code is similar, but the implementations are different (primarly because of the underlying operating systems).

It's something like the difference between a Hasegawa 1/72 F-14A and a Fujimi 1/72 F-14A - they "look the same", but they're different underneath the paint job...

I might as well check with those too. It doesn't take much effort to check, and I'd rather do it myself now than have a user find a problem.

Mac - Possibly tomorrow, when I go visit a computer lab at my old school. Linux - I think one of my friends might have a Linux machine running at his house. I've been thinking of setting one up myself in any case; this is as good a reason as any to finally do it. I think I might have to draw the line at testing under all the various distributions, however. Mandrake should do just fine.

.....but again, I'm open to suggestions.

You can go here:

type in the URL and it'll validate your code, if it passes through that OK, it should render on most browsers.

Thanks, Rab. Looks like a useful tool!

True. Even so, don't forget that even with the "same" browser (let's stick with Mozilla here) a page will look different on a Windows based PC, a Mac, and a system running Linux. They do render slightly differently.

Well, as far as Linux, MS is allowing download of an eval version of VirtualPC. Load Linux on that, delete when done.

Mac? I'd suggest Basilisk, but I don't think there's a version of Mozilla for 68k machines.

Good to know, I might try that out before setting up a new machine. Thanks for the information.

Where I work that's what we call the "Microsoft method", i.e. using users to find problems.
