You might be on an old build of chrome, it works fine for me on linux and windows through chrome.

Speaking of which, when the award guidelines say the site should work in all browsers, does it imply that the browsers being tested are only the newest versions? Our website works in the newest version of all browsers but fails on some old ones (IE 6/7 or something like that).

Re: Web Competitors 2011
 

The main old browser you need to be concerned with is the IE series. Now I will try to make a website work for IE6, but you could also take the route of displaying a notice that states "Hey you are an really really old browser. Click here to upgrade to a new faster secure one". Then list FF,Chrome,IE#. However, I would try to optimize for IE7. You could use this site to get a feel for the number of people using each web browser and what version they usually run. http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

However, I don't think you will be counted off horribly for not being able to display properly in IE6 and others.

Web site works well on iPhone and iPad too, just need to add more content. Any comments would be appreciated :)

Re: Web Competitors 2011
 

Does anyone know a good way to test whether our site works with an older browser aside from actually getting it (I don't even know if this is possible).

Edit: http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/ does this.

Re: Web Competitors 2011
 

very nice i mean very nice...a few minor things theres a random white line on the front page to the right above the skunk facts (its very minor), and with your awards that picture really through me off cause it was below the 2006 awards and its 2010 i think its just the wrong placement of that picture maybe even deleted it truely doesnt need to be there but overall its great good job :)

Re: Web Competitors 2011
 

You can download Internet Explorer 9 which has an option to use IE 7 or 8 standards. Just hit F12 to bring up the developer options. Let me know if you need more help.

Re: Web Competitors 2011
 

Oh cool, I didn't know that. Looks like it'll be useful if I can ever actually edit the site to work for IE 7. Thanks.

I'm still writing and receiving content so some pages are almost blank. Any comments/criticism on what I have so far will be very welcome.
Thank you!

www.team1322.org We are doing an update but content should be close to the same TY

Re: Web Competitors 2011
 

No problem. IE 8 and below are really the only browsers you will have to do some major tweaking to. As for the other browsers, lets just say I like standards and the fact that Microsoft is finally making an attempt to follow them is a positive thing :P
