Problems with different browsers

S

Saffa

I have included a photo gallery with a slide show in it. Now my internet
explorer displays the page properly but Mozilla Firefox does not display it
correctly.
Is there something i can do to rectify this or is this just the way it is?

That's just the way it is until you learn to rewrite the code or get code
from somebody who did not write their code so it would only render nicely
when using IE.

Hi, Saffa,

I wrote JS code for a slideshow and originally had problems with Firefox
which I have now solved - well all but one which I put in today which
affects the whole site in Firefox (easily removed though)

Do you use the standard slideshow from FP, or did you write your own?

FWIW, you can have a look at my code. I can fix it to run in Firefox, but I
am waiting for some answers from this NG as to why there are problems with
my change of today

Briefly,

Most authors and coders have been focusing on IE as it has been the dominant
browser. The newer browsers such as Firefox which actually use the Gecko
rendering enginer support the W3C standards. IE fails to do so in critical
areas. We are all hoping IE 7 will improve its quality and support the
standards without having to apply hacks because the quality has been so
poor. IE has about a dozen critical rendering bugs that makes rendering
pages FUBAR.

Most experienced web designers and developers now do all work using Firefox
and then apply the hacks to make content display in IE. As it is, you are
apparently still designing to IE and trying to apply hacks to Firefox which
already renders correctly. You see what I mean? Apparently you are hacking
Firefox so it will function FUBAR like IE. Doesn't that sound crazy to you?
It is. It is bass ackwards.

It is also interesting to note that approximately 25% of all visits to such
sites such as W3Schools indicate the use of various browsers all of which
use the Gecko rendering engine (used to be called Mozilla).
