    Help! Not sure what this will do in most browsers

    I would love some help and advice as I'm still feeling my way in web sites and Actinic. We'd like to change the Home page on our web site to use images rather than text. I've cobbled together some embedded HTML on the Home page fragment that gives us the result we'd like (though some images are still to be changed), when viewed through the test IE browser here.
    BUT. I'm not sure what this will look like when viewed in other browsers or other devices, or cause other problems. I'd love some help and advice - there are probably lots of much better ways to achieve the same thing.
    Our web site has been going for some years now, and all I've done really is upgraded the existing site to Actinic 10. Our web site is www.lundia.co.uk and it's built using the Smart theme. I've uploaded the new home page temporarily.
    Can anyone help?
    Cheers

      That table you've put on your home page is way too wide. Anyone using a laptop is going to get the left hand column squashed down to a single word. Best reduce the number of columns or make the images much smaller.

      Alro the links don't work. You're linking to e.g.

      http://www.lundia.co.uk/Ergonomic_Seating.html

      when your page is really at

        Thanks

        Hi
        Yes, I know I could download all available browsers and test - but is there a definitive list somewhere - and how do I ensure that it looks alright on other devices other than desktops with multiple screens?
        I realised that the links were wrong as soon as I pressed the publish button. They should be OK now.

          You can look at your visitor stats and see what browsers are reported, but you shoulds at least test with IE8 (and IE6 on another PC perhaps), FF, Chrome, Safari and Netscape.

            You can enter the url of a webpage you want to check into http://browsershots.org/ which will then display a screenshot using a choice of browsers and operating systems.

              You could also download IETester (not perect but useful) to test different versions of IE. http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage

                Great - the browser shots web site is coming up with all manner of weird and wonderful browsers. I've checked our analytics and will try a few more things as well. Thanks for your help. Much food for thought and more work to be done.
