Test this page. Please!!
I need a page tested on every browser known to mankind. I'm specifically looking for this page to be tested on multiple versions of safari, netscape, opera and internet explorer.
I've already tested it on some of those browsers and firefox, but what I'm really looking for is not just the current versions but backwards compatibility. Site stats show that people don't update their browsers and use bizarre settings and do everything possible to break things, so I want this page visible to people.
I'm particularly worried about the spacing of the images in the right column. It seems to either wildly fluctuate or break the page centering in IE 6 and I don't know why.

Yes, I know I haven't filled in alts for my images yet

Yes, in case I wasn't clear before, I'm going through and testing dozens of browsers that way myself, but it really isn't the same. It shows major problems like things not showing up, but spacing problems and other stuff are generally harder to see and you can't play with them at all.

would anyone who found that they saw the "**********" image and the "**********" image on separate lines please look again. I think I've fixed the issue but as it isn't consistent, I need the same people to view it in the same browsers that were previously having the problems to view it and see a difference.
It is still on 2 line with Opera 8.54

Retested with opera 9.02_8573. The "a political.." is still a row below "**********".

mplungjan - I probably eventually will.
the plan wasn't for it to be all images, but it ended up being all images in the end, but I'm in the middle of making a couple styling overhauls the client wants and a bunch of other things come before redoing the homepage yet again.
so, if it doesn't have any major problems in practice (which is far different than in screenshot) than i'll put this up temporarily.
besides which, the homepage is the only thing that's all images and even this incarnation is probably so much more compatible than the rest of the site, and I really want to take the current homepage down
Netscape Communicator v4.79 is the only one that seems so far to be a major problem, though it's the only one i'd actually be worried about some percentage of the population still using, given the number of people who hated netscape 6, switched back and refused to update again. theoretically they either have updated or moved on by now, but you never know. i never updated netscape again, even when people said that 7 was good. i was highly suspicious, and just moved to opera instead.
also, ch2, while dreamweaver can be very helpful, it has two problems. one, it only checks independant elements. so, while IE6 supports cols and a few other things, all of them together meant that the columns weren't working. also, it finds workarounds as things that the browsers don't support, and so those have to be tested independantly. i've used dreamweaver to check compatability on other pages, but on this one it tells me things that are problems aren't and things that aren't problems are. which is problematic.

Wow, that is the weirdist points division I have ever done. And people who visit EE also visit, "Ask a Volcanologist"??? Seriously?? I hope that brightened your day everyone.
If you did not get an even number of points (and this applies to everyone), I seriously messed something up and cannot apparently count to 500. Or multiply by 4.

Thanks for my 152 points ;)
Thanks for closing :)

152? hmm, I'm unsure as to how you got that amount...wait, no, that's correct. You are lucky winner number 1. I'm not sure many people got the same amounts on this thread. Because I didn't really give the same amounts to start with and then it turned out that I actually couldn't add/count to 500, so I just added points on randomly.
I think 152 is a very nice number though. I might make a t-shirt that just says, "152". At the very least it would make people sorry when they asked why my shirt said 152.....

Also, I've had two people open the same page in the same browser, same screen size, same OS, and had different results. I'm not so concerned about the page as is, I'm concerned about it in action, and if there are major problems, I don't want to find out by sending it live on the site, I want to find out before.
