I use Mac OSX and I like your site, and your speed test is one of the most useful and informative that I have used but I cannot get my results saved, mainly because I cannot find a browser that displays the page well enough to complete the form that appears (under the test results) after the test on every browser I have. I have tried Firefox, Camino (another Mozilla browser), Safari, and Omniweb, which does not even let me run the test.
I realise that you are doing some pretty clever stuff with your site but it would be nice if you could make it web standards compliant, and platform agnostic.
Please!

Hi Brightonbeach,
Thanks for taking time to point this out and sorry for any problems that you are having.
We do try to hit web standards for stuff developed in-house (e.g. you should find that most of the site is XHTML1.1 compliant). However, to get some of the richer features such as the speed test, popup "save" form and graphical charts, we have to use third party components which, sometimes, are not so compliant!
We suspect that the problems that you are having relate specifically to the AJAX capability of the browsers that you are trying in MacOSx.
The good news is that we should be able to do something about the problem by detecting browser capabilities before trying to give AJAX. If your browser doesn't do AJAX, we'll simply serve up "standard" features. We'll put this back to our developers to investigate. As an estimate, expect a fix in the next week or so.
We do test pages using a range of browsers before going "live". These include Firefox, IE, Opera, Safari. The downside is that these are all PC based (we don't have Macs unfortunately  )
The joys of multiple web technologies /standards never ends
Regards,
Broadband-help admin

HEllo,
I think sooner or later we do need to upgrade and sure that the forum would be complaint to other browsers and Os as well.
I think we just need to be a bit patient.
Regards
