“Welcome to the MultiOS Browser Test Website. Here you will find capabilities to test your browser. You can test CSS, Document Object Model, Graphics file formats, iFrames, JavaScript, Browser plugins, SVG-Graphic, XML and XSLT.” You can do these tests in English or in German.
Don’t see anything tested there that isn’t fairly common knowledge among web coders. I do get a kick out of the rather heavy aliasing on the piss poor ‘sample .png’ files for the SVG test. Lemme guess, those were done in a gecko based browser, right? (I must be getting spoiled by opera’s COMPLETE and bug-free SVG implementation)
Will say I enjoy more site if engrish most goodly edited much.

You mean, “COMPLETE and bug-free SVG Tiny implementation.” Don’t get your standards in a twist.

Wrong! if you RTFA it says they were generated by Amaya. They do not look the same in Firefox 1.5.
I downloaded the two .svg files and looked at them in Inkscape. Firefox had some problems in scaling the fonts in proportion to the graphics compared to both Amaya and Inkscape. The text in the first graphic is black in both Inkscape and Firefox but red in the Amaya based PNG. I haven’t tried Opera as I don’t have it on my system.
BTW Amaya is generally regarded as the reference for SVG in a web browser as Amaya is W3C’s own test browser.

FYI: Opera renders the text black and overly large on the first SVG image. No text at all on the second.
Same here with Opera, I thought Safari (Webkit+SVG) was the best in SVG test, except it sucked in the CSS 3 test, Firefox (Firefox 1.5), I think did beyond my expectations, passed every test. Did anyone test the new SeaMonkey 1.0 beta.

What platform are you using? The CSS 3 stuff failed on Firefox 1.5 on Linux (no shadows on the text, and no rounded corners), but konqueror almost worked (exept for the rounded corners).
Firefox can do rounded corners, but doesn’t use the CSS3 codes yet because the standard is not complete yet. Putting in support for a standard not complete and subject to change is dangerous. Thus you can use -moz-border-radius: CSS attribute.
It’s a shame that Firefox still doesn’t support text-shadow, despite that being a part of the fully ratified CSS2.1 standard :/
You are right unoengborg firefox did not have any shadows on text or rounded corners but I have yet to come across any browser that actually rendered round corners. I have tried SeaMonkey, Firefox (1.5), iCab, Flock, Internet Explorer, Safari 2.0.2, Safari SVG, Opera 9.0 beta version, Camino. I am using OS X, I have not tried Konqueror as yet, would try it on my work computer. Are there any browsers that follow (comply by) the CSS 3 standards.
These are really very basic and narrow tests.
These are really very basic and narrow tests.
That makes it so much more disappointing that neither Mozilla 1.5 nor the latest Konqueror passes all of them.
If you really like to test browsers, maybe you should check out some of the code on this page. George has been testing browsers for a very long time.

This is a joke

Yeah, I can see that. Netscape 3 called, it wants its webpages back.
There is a wrong screenshot on this page:
http://www.aadmm.de/screenshots/screenshots.htm
The Opera 8.01 screenshot shows a huge toolbar banner that says “BUY OPERA TODAY! And make this banner go away”.
This is not possible with Opera 8.01 which is free and there are no ad-supported versions available.
Actually it’s 8.50 and 8.51 that are free. 8.01 was still adware.

RAAAGH! Using javascript to force a pop-up when clicking on the thumbnails is perhaps standards compliant, but it’s a HORRIBLE STANDARD!
Webdesigners everywhere, mark my words: if you want to piss off users using your site, make sure middle-button opening of links in a new tab does not work, through the use of javascripted links.

Just thought it might interest some people: you can make unobtrusive javascript pop-up, that will work with both javascript disabled and middle-click. Here’s a minimal code snippet:
<a href=”yourlink.html” onclick=”window.open(this.href); return false;”>Your hyperlinked text
The javascript onclick event has priority over the href attribute, so it will be executed first. Return false stop the href execution after the onclick event is done, so opening the page only once. If you dont have javascript or if you middle-click, the browser will use the standard href attribute.
You can obviously add the usual options to the window.open function to set the width, height, scrollbar, etc. for the popup window.
Hope this is useful for you guys.

hmm.. the parsing engine ate my code. Dont forget to close the anchor link

“Same here with Opera, I thought Safari (Webkit+SVG) was the best in SVG test, except it sucked in the CSS 3 test,”
Not really Safari does better than Firefox, it rendered the text-shadow element test, but did not succeed in the rounded corners test ( running OSX). Firefox failed in both CSS 3 tests. Safari failed in the SVG test, Firefox succeeded.
Using the last Safari night build, with SVG enabled by default, the test was then succesfull and Safari gave better results this time than Firefox. So hopefully this SVG support will be enabled in a futur official update of Safari.
Also Firefox could not display jpg2000 graphic format, its a pity…….
