In case you haven’t noticed, we’re doing some pretty nifty stuff with Google Maps (and perhaps in the future, other mapping vendor maps …) on Backyard Post. Most modern browsers support this mixture of CSS and JavaScript hackery, but some do not.
Specifically, Internet Explorer 6 is not supported at this time. While you can navigate the site and read the content, the Google Maps are likely to be very slow and/or generate errors. We have spent and will continue to spend time resolving these.
That said, we strongly recommend using a different browser, or upgrading from IE 6. The site looks fine with Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 2, and Safari 3, although we are still working through proper coloring with Safari 3 (real estate sales maps do not render parcels in their appropriate color–green, yellow, orange, red). We hope to resolve this soon.
Of course, you may still experience all kinds of errors and bugs when using any of these browsers. Backyard Post is still very much in a testing phase, so this should be expected. If you do find a bug and have the time, we’d love to hear about it (even if you don’t have anything nice to say).
Links: Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 2, Safari 3.
