    I am very near (probably tomorrow) to releasing my next template. I am hoping to find out if there are any incompatibility issues with these browsers:

    • IE 6 & 7

    • Firefox 1 & 1.5

    • Opera 8 & 9

    • Safari 2 & 3 / Mac

    • Konqueror

    • Galleon


    And I would like to know what people think of its rather unique functionality. I only have to write a print style sheet, do some final tests (validation, etc.), And then I will release it. I just want to make sure that this template succeeds, and is as useful as possible. What do you think?

    I would definitely have to say it's a unique approach to a template and wouldn't mind seeing some things like this in the future. It would help so many people who aren't able to modify an existing layout. The simplicity and uniqueness really stand out to me. Good job, looking forward to the release.

    I like it...Although I'm using firefox 2 like you I'm assuming since that was the only browser not on your list.

    I already have a perfect project to use this on. Very useful in my opinion. I too look forward to it's release. Nice job

    In the template, you say that there are over 30 styled content elements. What I would like to see in the template are actual examples of what these styles look like. I would suggest that you include at least the most common ones (ul, ol, blockquote, etc.).

    Awesome Jason. I think customizability (is that a word?) is the way to go these days.

    One very small bug. Resizing the window in IE7 bumps one of your 5-columns down a row:

    Probably just needs a little buffer space.

    But I love it.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    BUG:I believe that that bug is caused by a rounding error. That resolution provides exactly 969px of viewable screen, and gives each column (at 20% width) 194px, making the last one 1px too wide for the screen. The solution is to have the widths total to only 99%, which creates a 1% error on other browsers, which is too significant for me. I can either ignore the bug (as it affects very few users), or give up, or write a bunch (read: 20) more definitions in my stylesheets, and set everything up to total 99% width instead of 100%.
