I'm going to try here to give you some very valuable information. We
all have a tendency to want to blame someone else when something
isn't right or the way we think it should be. If you take nothing
else from this article take this, before you blame the webmaster of
the site you are viewing look at your system settings.
Yes, there are some horrible web pages on the internet and no matter
what you do you'll never be able to view them properly. But, the
majority of webmasters designing websites make sure that they are
optimized for viewing by the majority of visitors, using the
browsers that are most common.
If you use your computer to travel the vast expanse of the internet
it is a MUST, for you to have your computer optimized for the best
possible viewing experience. The job of designing websites is
getting harder and harder. The variety of browsers and different
versions of those browsers force designers to look closely at the
content they choose to place on their pages. One script that looks
great on Microsoft IE 6.0 will totally scramble the page when viewed
in Netscape Navigator 6.2. There are also a number of scripts that
will destroy a site when the viewer is using AOL's browser.
What the webmasters we communicate with try to do is design their
sites to be viewed by the majority. How do they know what the
majority is, you ask? Well, they can look at their domain files and
see who, what, when, why and where.
I'll share with you an example: This is the traffic breakdown from 1
of our sites over a 21 day period last summer.
Browsers --------
1. MSIE 6.x 5,016 74.88%
2. Netscape 6.x 1102 17.91%
3. MSIE 5.x 144 4.28%
4. Netscape 3.x 35 1.04%
5. MSIE 3.x 27 0.80%
6. WebTV 23 0.68%
