Other browsers testing my portal

[OvermindDL1]

Could a few people who do not use an IE or Mozilla based browser test a few things of the portal I am making.  Let me just quote my post from over there.

Could some people who do not run an IE or Mozilla based browser please load my portal and run some tests to make sure it works?

First, check that it looks correct, it should be fully and perfectly W3 complient but I know how some of those non-mainstream browsers like to display things wierd.

Second, sign up in the forum (you can delete you account after-wards, I have that enabled at the moment), goto the portal again and try the hiding things, click to hide things, click again to show (should be obvious enough where to click), tell me if it works.

Third, while still logged in, hide a couple of the things and fully-refresh the page (ctrl+F5 generally) and make sure those parts you hid are still hidden, and make sure they become visible when you click the appropriate thing again.

Note: Do not try to test any text browsers like Lynx, I do not think It'd work at all. :rolleyes:  I am just checking to see if my scripting works elsewhere.

Internet Explorer 4 can't toggle nothing.  I get a syntax error every page view.

You should probably add:
.ssi_table
{
   font-size: 10pt;
}

Or similar to your css.

Mozilla Suite 1.0 seems to be good with it.  Netscrape 4, however, is a completely lost cause.

Opera 6 doesn't care for any of your toggles or anything.  Opera 7 takes them fine, but they don't stick.  In Opera 8, I can just toggle *one thing*, and then nothing else will toggle.  But, at least, they stick in 8.

Sorry, was away for a few days; Collage started back up.  I made a few more changes, and I must say, you have a few older browsers then I have...  Thanks for the tip about the CSS tag, unable to find anything on the template that uses it however, will look into it...

EDIT:  Also, what was the syntax error?

It doesn't say.  Darn Internet Explorer 4 is a bugger to work with.

Nice bit of browsers there I must say, will have to download to a VM for testing.

Also, slightly off-note, just to verify (test later if not known), include()ing (or require()ing) a php file, even to load simple vars would be faster then mysql access, or would it be slower?  What about a large amount of text, be better to load it from a db, or include()ed?  Just another side project I am doing and it is going to be rather intensive, need to cut corners wherever possible, and it will be loading a great deal of information, whether from files or DB I have not yet decided, but it will be a 'large' amount of differeing sources, whether different rows in a db, or different files, each file or db row will contain between 200-chars, to possibly, many hundreds of thousands.  Should I impliment both methods, and have it store information and data depending on the size of data?  If so, what would be the breakoff-point?

Depends.  Simple file access, especially when you have an accelerator, is faster.  The query involved can slow things down... although, if you have query caching on it isn't that bad either.

What about a large amount of text, be better to load it from a db, or include()ed?

If it changes, I would still suggest the database.  Then again, the agreement.txt file is not in the database for the very reason it shouldn't be.

Just another side project I am doing and it is going to be rather intensive, need to cut corners wherever possible, and it will be loading a great deal of information, whether from files or DB I have not yet decided, but it will be a 'large' amount of differeing sources, whether different rows in a db, or different files, each file or db row will contain between 200-chars, to possibly, many hundreds of thousands.  Should I impliment both methods, and have it store information and data depending on the size of data?  If so, what would be the breakoff-point?

If you're loading a large amount of data, and you can do it with one query, typically this will be faster than file access.  It all depends on how you're handling it.

What will need to be done, is it will either need to call from a few tables, which will not be linked (so multiple queries), or will be loading from seperate files, note on the seperate files, could be hundreds, if not more...

Thanks for the assistance, never attempted testing of such things so it was outside my realm of knowledge.
