Music VideoAs part of my Posgraduate Diploma in Information Systems Web Development module I had to create a site to – “Market a range of DVDs, which must be compatible with 90% of all users of the web”. 90% referring to users disabilities and not only users hardware / software setups.

Upon testing, the site was viewable in all major browsers; I.E 6.0 degrading well with all previous versions, as with Opera and browsers utilising the Gecko engine: commercial CompuServe 7, AOL for Macintosh OS X, as well as the open source Galeon, Phoenix, Chimera, and kmeleon. It degraded well under Netscape 6 and 4 – though some discrepencies were seen with Navigator 3. The site also performed well with Braillesurf 4.0 and the Lynx text browsers. WebTV was not considered.
