Website Bugs
Here I will talk about problems I have had based on the website coding, bugs in a browser and anything else I can think of. This will show what has caused delays in design, layout and maybe a wrong output.
I have made a table to show which browsers this site has been tested for. You can click on any of the links to find a browser bug, problem by date or the default few. You can view the list by Browser, Total and last month. Minor issues like height and width are excluded as many people would argue one browser has it right when another does not. Please see the below for the bug count:
| Web Browser | Total |
|---|---|
| Google Chrome 1 | 2 |
| Google Chrome 2 | 2 |
| Firefox 2 | 3 |
| Firefox 3 | 2 |
| Internet Explorer 6 | 8 |
| Internet Explorer 7 | 4 |
| Internet Explorer 8 | 4 |
| Konqueror 3.5.4-13.5 (1999-2005) | 2 |
| Opera 9.25 | 1 |
| Opera 9.50 | 1 |
| Safari 3 | 2 |
| Safari 4 | 1 |
| Sea Monkey 1.1.3 | 1 |
Shown below are the last 10 bug reports. If you find similar, don't stress over it. I have wasted lots of time trying work arounds. Some work, but others do not.
| Date | Description | Browsers |
|---|---|---|
| 2009-04-08 18:48:54 | Not a bug, but a feature browsers should have. This is the ability to view WML (aka WAP) pages. Like RSS feeds these are XML files. It's only logical to be able to display these files too. Only Opera can display them to date. | Chrome1, Chrome2, Firefox2, Firefox3, IE6, IE7, IE8, Konqueror3.5, Safari3, Safari4, Sea Monkey1.1, |
| 2009-04-08 18:43:12 | The following browsers fail to display RSS Feeds. | Chrome1, Chrome2, IE6, |
| 2009-03-12 17:13:29 | The following browsers do not display forms with fieldsets properly. To see an example, please go to my other website Simple CAPTCHAs.com. You will see the fault around the heading. | IE6, IE7, IE8, |
| 2008-06-21 15:28:46 | The switch of Document Type from XHTML Strict to XHTML Transitional moves the menu and flags up on wap emulator. | Firefox2, Firefox3, IE7, IE8, Opera9.2, Opera9.5, Safari3 |
| 2008-05-21 15:27:12 | Search Button image does not appear properly. | Konqueror3.5 |
| 2008-03-02 16:50:54 | Z-index with a negative number does not work. The header image may appear different.
Update: A fix is to use position relative in the CSS. The fix works in some of the affected browsers. |
IE6, Firefox2, SeaMonkey1 |
| 2008-03-02 16:50:54 | Transparency in GIF or PNG images does not work in certain browsers. I have limited the use of images in the browsers affected. | IE6 |
| 2008-03-02 16:46:12 | Colour of image not matching a hex value. This is noticeable in the menu at the top. | IE6, IE7, IE8 |
| 2008-02-09 16:46:12 | Browser does not recognise min and max width in css2. The fix is to have a set width for the website. | IE6 |
| 2008-02-07 19:11:24 | Unordered List Menus (UL) do not work with the compliant HTML code. | IE6 |
To get the most out of your web browsing experience, use Opera. To get the least out of your experience use Internet Explorer.
