When you design your website for a large audience, you should probably think of all the browsers which the users might use or at least all the popular browsers in the world. Now if your design runs well in Firefox, the chances are that it will run fine in browsers like Opera, Chrome and Safari. The main problem for designers is IE. But even now there are few people who use IE 6.0 (Which was given out with Windows XP SP1 or installed on other older OS) but web developers who run Windows Vista cannot install IE6 (Not even the standalone installer which can be used on XP), to solve this problem there is a wonderful app called IE Tester.
IE Tester has the ability to run multiple versions of IE in multiple tabs (from IE 4 to IE 8 Beta 2) all at the same time and see how your design is rendered in each IE version.
All in all this is a must have for a web designer who wishes to design for cross browser compatibility and also for clients with older versions of IE.
Limitations
- When resizing, the content may disappear. I am working to correct it on the next version.
- The Previous/Next buttons are not working properly.
- Focus is not working properly.
- Java applets are not working.
- Flash is not working on IE6 instance.
dear i have a forum of my own but the problem is i want to change its language as my forum is in arabic so is there any way forums can be made english from arabic or any other language, i’ll wait for your kind reply
may be i am out of topic
but will be very thank full if anyone help me
@ Amjad, welcome to dotNETwizard, as far as I know you cannot convert the forum from one language to the other mate. You can install it as Arabic from scratch but you cannot change language of the contents. For that the best option will be to go for translators. Well I think Google translate does a good job at that, so maybe a plug in exists for your forum that will help users translate the page or posts with one click (similar to the translator we have here).
Hope this helps….
Thanks dear for your suggestion
