Oh dear. I just viewed my lovely new page (designed to be viewable in
everything) in a WebTV browser-emulator. ARGH! Can anyone suggest any
resource for design tips or something for this?

My two particular problems are:

1) I designed the site in 800x600, as that is what the majority (60% or so)
are using; it also looks fine at higher res, and as acceptable as 640x480
ever does to me these days. The emulator is showing an almost square browser
window; is this for real?

2) What's the state of the javascript support? I've only tested a part of
the site, but the most basic things (e.g. make sure that something rather
than nothing is selected from a select/option list) don't seem to work.

Any pointers very gratefully received! (Currently I'm only getting 1% of
hits from the pre-re-designed site as WebTV, but I'm expecting this to
increase; right?)
