[OT] dynamic resolution web sites

[Kelsay, Brian - Kansas City, MO]

Had to go here: http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/svgtest.html  to
activate the plug-in and accept the license.  No big surprise.  So their
test SVG graphic works, but then I go to your site and still get no
image, but this time I don't even get the scrollbar, just an image
placeholder.  Do you have any other test pages that I can go to?

Netscape 4.7 AFAIK was the last Netscape browser that was approved for
loading on Gov't PCs.  We have it here at the USDA and I've seen it at
IRS, KC City Gov't and Missouri Unemployment offices.  It is actually no
longer supported by the Helpdesk, but some transaction sites that
government personell deal with, must at least be viewable by Netscape
4.7.  Kind of the lowest common denominator, probably because it still
works on all the old low end PCs and it came pre-installed for a long
while.

Hum. That's very interesting. I just checked it on IE6 6.0.3xxx and it 
seems to be working; could you check the Adobe[1] web site and see if 
those work for you? IE will usually generate an empty box with a 
disabled scroll bar when it encounters an object tag that it doesn't 
have a plugin for. If it works at Adobe's site then I'll need to tweak 
my code.

Yea, Firefox 1.5 or greater.

Thanks for testing this one but NS4 is dead. They have <0.1% of the 
market left.

Yea, Firefox 1.5 or greater.

Unfortunately, Amaya has lots of problems. If they had more developers 
they could probably come up with a nice test suite browser.

Cool! Thanks for testing all of these!
