What browsers are we seeing today?

Posted by Neil on December 12, 2007

Well, I’ve just had a poke around in the Feed-Squirrel stats, and come across the OS usage that I am seeing on the site. I’ll tell you one thing, it’s quite amazing what people will be surfing the web on these days (well, different to when I started looking at server logs back in ‘96).

Windows 81.6%
Mac OSX 11.2%
Linux 6%
Playstation 3 0.6%
Symbian 0.07%
SunOS 0.03%
PSP 0.03%
iPhone 0.03%
iPod 0.01%

Goddamn kids I tell you…

If you've ever been playing with SELECT boxes and Layers, you know about the z-index bug that exists where a SELECT insists on being the highest element. I cannot remember how many times I have had to write code to hide SELECT boxes before showing a layer over them.

Well, it appears Microsoft have finally got off their arse and fixed it in IE7. Well, what can I say, just in the nick of time eh? Just in time for all those developers now thinking about RIA's/Flash/Flex ;-)

Firefox 1.5.0.2

Whilst looking more into the second beta release of IE7 yesterday, I came across the browser archive at evolt.org. This little gem appears to have most versions of most browsers from over the years, including a load of standalone versions of 32-bit Internet Explorer.

From what I can tell, there are most versions of most browsers in there (although there are some sizable gaps in the Navigator and Commnuicator arena) so now there should be no reason for a site not to work in a.n.other browser!
