RE: [WSG] Disapearing divs in IE v5.0 only | Browser testing

2005-06-28 Thread Mike Foskett
Hi all,

Sorry for the late response just returned from Glastonbury.

> I use also multiple versions in my XP SP2 and I also confirm Patrick results.

Retested and it doesn't work. On closer inspection IE v5.0 isn't actually 
running, it's v6.0.
I think IT services have updated the OS on my PC and has somehow affected 
"multiple IE" settings.
It no longer works even when running IEXPLORE.EXE directly.

Think the best thing to do from here is to run a second OS with Virtual PC then 
have multi-IE on that.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
I'll do some testing on the disappearing div's over the weekend and try to get 
that right too.

Mike,

I use also multiple versions in my XP SP2 and I also confirm Patrick 
results. But I also would love to hear about else's experiences and 
opinions with multiple IE.

I've just tried your page with my multiple IE version of IE 5.0SP2, 
and the problem shows...so I'd say it's not your testing methods that 
are to blame.

RE: [WSG] Disapearing divs in IE v5.0 only | Browser testing

2005-06-22 Thread Mike Foskett
Hi all, 

I've just inspected my site in IE 5.0 for the first time since development last 
year.
I was amazed to see errors creeping in, even though it's valid (X)HTML.

The right-hand column has divs which do not display in IE v5.0 on a PC unless 
hovered over.
They disappear again if scrolled out of the window.
IE 5.2, on a Mac, displays correctly.

Does anyone know why this happens and perhaps suggest a fix?

using virtual PC.

How does everyone else test IE v5.0? 
Virtual PC, Separate PC, or Multiple IE?

And are you satisfied with the results obtained?
