What to do with compatability issues? Easy fix? or good enough?

So with this forum's help I've managed to create a new website for our company... I worked locally from my laptop - win7, google chrome - and it looked great, but from our work computers - winXP, IE 6 - there's a few issues:
- The title in the banner shifts up/down from page to page
- Banner itself expands on some pages
- spry accordion is aligned on the left, but should be centered
Is there an easy fix to any of these? Probably not..
Also, what's the best way to test the site on all browser's? I know dreamweaver has the check, but I'd like to see what it looks like.. Should I download each browser and test them?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Browser specific issues in IE are usually fixable with a few conditional comments. You would have to upload your site to a test folder on your server and post a URL here to get help.  There is no way to know what you've got going on without seeing your page(s)/code.
Use the online code validation tools below and fix any reported errors.  90% of browser problems can be cured with valid code. 
HTML Validator - http://validator.w3.org 
CSS Validator - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
TESTING -
http://browsershots.org will give you screenshots of your pages on various browsers and platforms.
IE DebugBar browser is convenient for locally testing in IE5 - 8.
It's probably a good idea to have the latest installations of Firefox, Safari or Chrome, IE and Opera on hand to cover all your bases.

  • Why can't I use WebCT chat with my computer?  I get the 'spiral of death' every time I try to type in my chat.  I have a feeling it has to do with compatibility issues between Java and Tiger.

  • Will 13 in Macbook Pro with Retina 2.6 ghz be good enough for engineering student

    I'm purchasing a new macbook and not really sure which one to get. I have been thinking about getting the 13 in 2.6 ghz Macbook Pro with Retina, but will that be good enough for engineering programs such as AutoCad?

    I agree that it would be slow, but the biggest limitation is RAM. 4GB simply won't,  er, cut it.
    A similar mac with at least 8GB, and a fast external drive, would work, even if not very speedy.
    It really comes up to time, as babylonslim said.
    If you need to cut very quickly, you need a machine like he described. On the other hand, I have no doubt that my very own, very old 2010 17" MBP could do the job - it has 8GB, and I use an external drive connected through e-SATA. The GPU is not nearly as fast as present day ones, and it only has a  dual core i7 GPU. It would take longer, but it would work.

  • PS HCM 9.1 / PT 8.52. Internet Explorer 10 compatability issues, patches fixes???

    Hello all,
    Many of our users using IE 10 are complaining about using PeopleSoft on that browser version. Complaints vary. Anybody knows any patches, fixes Oracle has published?
    Really appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    Deyan Alex

    Hi,
    Please review below documents which will give you more information on IE10 browser:

    PeopleTools 8.48 - 8.53 Browser Compatibility Guide [ID 704492.1]
    Troubleshooting Issues Associated With Microsoft Internet Explorer 10.X  - Page 33
    Please be advised that IE 10 is supported only in "Compatibility Mode".  We recognize that this is a problem as MS is now shipping IE 10 with "Standard Mode" as the default.  Development is working with high priority on a fix for this, and it will be back ported to 8.51, 8.52 and 8.53 once finalized.  Please see E-PIA: Candidate Gateway page hangs when accessed with IE 10 [ID 1561975.1]
    Please update this thread if you see any other issue.

  • What The Deal With This Issue!

    Ive recorded in Protools and currently using Logic 8 and my results are the same. My mixes are pretty good. But my issue is, my final song file is pretty small according to level meters.
    I have friends using fruity loops and nuendo and their mixes are sup par at best but their final file is way greater than mine when comparing them meter wise. A few of my friends bounce straight out of their DAW with no further processing and the song is way greater than mine as far as volume.
    Ive even tried to use some of Logics mastering features but cant seem to achieve greater volume. Its like my final mix is being smothered or something. In the bounce dialog box, normalize is unchecked! This has been the same for me when using Protools and now Logic.
    A few of my friends dont have clue when it comes to mixing and others just do a quick bounce down with NO MIXING for demo purposes but yet when they bounce the song down, the song file is nice and up to zero when mine sounds better but flirting around -7dbs. I dont get this!

    mine sounds better but flirting around -7dbs
    That's the point.......
    Two friend of mine produce dance music and remixes and they usually mix and master at -12dB (with Duende and TC Electronic hardware...).
    I've used Nuendo and Cubase too but I dislike their sound.
    I think that the pushing part must be reserved to the mastering step so I'd be not so worry about the -7dB.
    Just my 2 cents.
    cheers

  • When will we get a fix for the Snow Leopard Compatibility issue??

    When will we get a fix for the Snow Leopard Compatibility issue?
    I am growing impatient not being able to use cross dissolve or titles.
    Its going to be a pain having to back out to OS 10.5. This is beginning to be like Windows Vista.

    You don't say what "..Snow Leopard Compatibility issue.." you're having.
    My titles and Dissolves - and everything else - work perfectly with iMovie HD 6 and with iMovie '09 in Snow Leopard.
    Perhaps you need to revert to QuickTime 7 ..just in case you over-wrote QT 7 with Snow Leopard's own QuickTime X when you upgraded to SL.
    QT7 and QT X both sit happily alongside each other in Snow Leopard ..you might want to give that a try.
    But I have no problem with any aspect of iMHD6 nor iM09 (..and no trouble with "stills"..) using Snow Leopard on a "late '08" MacBook Pro.
    I haven't yet installed SL (Family Pack) on my Mac Mini ..I'll let SL throw away my QT7 on that, and will see if that causes any problems with iMovie. If it does, I'll then download and re-install QT7 and see if that fixes any problems. But don't hold your breath ..I may report back tomorrow, but today I'm pretty busy! I'll do my best, though..

  • Compatibility issues between PS3.0 and Windows Vista

    Have PS3 for Windows XP. Have had it a while and it wouldn't load on my old computer because the harddrive didn't have enough space.  Now trying to load it on to HP Pavilion bought last spring.  When I tried to load it, I got the error window with: compatibility issues with this software.  Windows didn't find a solution.  Went to adobe.com and tried update for PS3.0 which I thought should work.  it said 3.0.1.  Won't work.  What am I missing?  Am I missing anything?  Will Adobe work as I want it to work?  As it's supposed to work?

    Well, it's not "supposed" to work in Vista. The earliest version of Elements that officially works in Vista is 5, with the special patch. However, some people have had success running earlier versions in XP compatibility mode.

  • What's wrong with my browsers?

    When i first got my macbook the internet was going really slow but then i changed the dns server to 4.2.2.2 and sometimes change it to 4.2.2.1 and the internet got better but now my browsers are acting funny.
    One moment i'm surfing webpages with safari or firefox.... Chatting with AdiumX or MS Messenger... and suddenly it just stops... Msn is getting time-out's, Safari says I'm not connected.
    But Airport sais it is still connected to my wireless network (with all the black bar's filled). It has valid IP adress etc, But everywhere I want to go on the internet it sais I'm not connected.
    When I disconnect the airport en let it reconnect with my wireless network, the connection is fine.
    how can i fix this?

    Most users shouldn't be manually entering DNS addresses, and those DNS addresses you mention probably aren't intended for end users. Is Level3 your ISP?
    That doesn't answer 'what's wrong with my browsers?', but a good start would be to configure your network according to your ISP's instructions. If you have DNS problems then, you might try using OpenDNS.

  • HT5306 I do not want to give remote access to anyone but myself as privacy is my friend.  Can this remote desktop software still be for me personally unless I allow access and for my MAC lap top only?  What if I do not update? compatibility issues with wh

    Hello:
    Thank you for the update for remote access for desktops.
    Personally, I do not want to give remote access to anyone but myself as privacy is my friend.  Can this remote desktop software still be for me personally unless I allow access and for my MAC lap top only?  What if I do not update? I do use this lap top in other countries.  compatibility issues with what?

    Apple Remote Desktop is off be default. It has to be enabled for some one to be able to remotely connect to the computer. And then, you still have to have a user name and password on the computer to remotely connect with.
    If you want to see if remote access has is enabled for Apple Remote Desktop; you can find the setting in, Apple Menu, System Prefrences, Sharing. If it's enabled, Remote Management or Screen Sharing will be checked.
    Beucase Apple Remote Desktop Agent is part of the Mac Operating System; even if your not using it, Apple Software Updates will from time to time offer updates for ARD Agent. Software Updates can some times be stacked ontop of each other; so chosing not to install an update, can mean other updates you may want may not be offered. At least until you install the updates those updates require. Also software updates can improve the security of your computer.

  • How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?

    How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?

    This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.

  • TS4357 The song I downloaded cuts off about 3 seconds before the ending, I have tried re-downloding per apple support directions with the same results. What further actions may I take to fix this issue?

    The song I downloaded (Slayer, Criminally Isane) cuts off about 3 seconds before the ending, I have tried re-downloding per apple support directions with the same results. What further actions may I take to fix this issue?

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store. 
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • What is the compatibility issues restricting use of Dreamweaver MX2004 with Windows 7

    I can't launch an update my website design on Dreamweaver MX2004.  Adobe technicians have informed me the application is not compatible with Windows 7.  The Dreamweaver was already loaded onto this computer when I took over this assignment.  I assumed it was applicable before, so now what are the compatibility issues?  I need to launch these updates.  Can anyone help or provide directions what to do?   

    There are other Forum participants running MX2004 on WIN7, much to my surprise, even on 64bit machines.
    You may wish to be sure that whoever did the installation on your WIN7 machine, knew enough to also install the 7.01 Updater
