i just addressed the problems with this last night in a post about
the AOL browser... i deleted that, so i'll try to cover it quickly...
- AOL requires you to sign up to use it, which means you gotta
pay...
- you have to be prepared to test for AOL's unique traits, such as
image re-compression and very dynamic IP assigning...
- depending on the version of AOL, you can track down the version
of IE used as its engine... if it's pre-IE, well, you're stuck...
- if you don't want to sign up to AOL, find someone who is an AOL
user who will allow you to use their system for testing every now
and then...
