I've got a question for web developers. I just downloaded Firefox because I wanted to see how my website looked with it. I have been developing for IE using Cascading Style Sheets, but with Firefox, it's almost like it doesn't recognize some of my styles. Has anyone else experienced these issues with IE/Mozilla compatability?
No communists in America?
IE doesn't do CSS correctly, so often if you do the workarounds to get style sheets working well with IE it can break the rendering in Firefox and other standards-compliant browsers. I've found that developing with Visual Studio.NET you get two main browser choices to develop to: IE 5 or Netscape 4 (which is totally broken for CSS, making IE look awesome in comparison). So if you want to use CSS, it writes it to be compatible with IE5. It would be nice if they put a "Mozilla minus what IE can't understand" as an option.
Fortunately the users for my current app all use IE, but I'm about to develop some customer-facing sites so I definately need to make sure they are compatable.
What I'm doing at work is also IE-only, so I don't have to worry much -- and I doubt they'll be switching to Firefox any time soon. For public sites though, I do it CSS-standard, which works perfectly in Firefox, Opera, etc., and I make sure that any CSS I use that IE can't handle isn't critical to the site's layout or function.
I've been using MyIE2 as well. Just about everyone I've shown has switched. I've tried the new firefox but found that it wasn't as feature rich and lacked good tabbing prefernces.
It has popup blocker but what about adware junk? People who create these things should be in jail.
By design, Mozilla/Firefox is immune to adware/spyware. I only have AdAware on my Windows machine for those rare times I have to use IE and for the games my wife sometimes downloads and installs. Every piece of junk I've found on that box has been because of those.
Interesting. Thanks.
