I am not sure whether it is your tool or not, but when publishing web
sites, it is not good karma to expose MS-only things.

LOL I (see below)

On my Konqueror, your home page looked quite funny, since the text
(paragraphs) was more and more indented.

Huh I ?

Screen shot please. I have tested it in all the common browsers
available since 1999, and it looks very well and identical on all.
This is the fist time I hear the word "Konqueror", have no idea what it
is. Since my site went public on December the 24th, it has been more
than 1500 different sessions, and apart from one or two Opera browsers,
all are Firefox and IE 6, a few IE 7 too.


Back to my Konqueror and have a look at the source[1]:
<snippet>
style="filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='
images/betatester4.png') </snippet>

It is not a rant, but if you plan on expose websites, one must take
into account, that not every enduser uses MS only.

Huh II ? and LOL II

Most of my web site is dynamically generated, and style sheets are
loaded based on the User Agent. What you see here is something that is
generated for IE 5.e and IE 6.0 ONLY and ONLY for these browsers. This
is a trick to have IE 5.5 and IE 6.0 supporting PNG with alpha channels.

The reason you see MS specific styles can only be that Konqueror tells
the server "Hey I am IE 5.5" or "Hey I am IE 6.0".
You won't see this in any other browser. On IE 5.0 it loads a backup
set i have made of opaque JPG images, on Firefox, Opera and IE 7.0 it
loads the PNGs as is, because these browsers support PNGs with alpha
channels.

I personally always use Konqueror to QA websites.

I use Opera because it is picky and I also use these:

ius.com

and this:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ingvarius.com

It's not likely, but imagine if the decisionmaker of a very large
cutomer to your new product also uses Konqueror. I guess you wouldn't
get a deal.

LOL III
When my site looks OK in all major browsers available since 1999, and
also pass these two tests, I blow a long march in what a [to me]
totally unknown browser "Konqueror" thinks about it!

Agreed?
