Niki's Website Project Part 2

The first stage of web development will be browser detection and compatibility, which will be worked on over the next 2 weeks. I also plan on adding a couple more rollover images to each page, and a new banner instead of the current header.

To start, I've created dummy-pages for each browser I plan to support. At this point, I can confirm that Safari will NOT be supported. This is a personal preference, because I'm continuously annoyed by the software. (If I get one more 'keychain password' prompt I swear I'm going to lose it!) Netscape also will not be supported because realistically it's outdated. Mozilla inherited it, but I don't know if they still update it, or how much better/worse it is than it's ancestors.

The following browsers WILL be supported.

  • Internet Explorer
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Google Chrome
  • Opera

Other browsers unfortunately will not be supported either. I recognize that there are many obscure software titles in existence, but it's impossible to manage them all within the time period I'm given.

My current hierarchy looks like this...


ROOT/
Images/
Internet Explorer/
Images/
ie_main.html
ie_bio.html
ie_gallery.html
ie_contact.html
Mozilla Firefox/
Images/
ff_main.html
ff_bio.html
ff_gallery.html
ff_contact.html
Google Chrome/
Images/
gc_main.html
gc_bio.html
gc_gallery.html
gc_contact.html
Opera/
Images/
op_main.html
op_bio.html
op_gallery.html
op_contact.html

This is all set up on my page here, so if any links are broken,you could manually type the URL. This is an example of the kind of script I could be using, in case you are interested or would like to use it on your own site.
