IE is winning the browser wars. OK this topic is not designed to get a bunch of hot-heads on my case, but here goes... The World Wide Web Consortium invents and approves what html, css, dhtml, xml, xhtml, etc etc is Valid and what is not, right? They are da big dawgs of Internet Technologies. OK, so if you turn your browser to this location and hover your mouse over the example, you will see their Official opinion. FURTHERMORE! If you design a webpage with html and css according to the rules the w3schools teaches, your designs look flawless in Internet Explorer. Eight out of ten designs look good (with only minor shifting occasionally) if you view them in Mozilla FireFox also, BUT 2 out of ten designs look like muck-a-muck in FireFox!!! SOMETIMES a little rearranging (such as adding your style in the element tag instead of in the <style>...</style> tags in your document head) can fix these issues, BUT sometimes NO AMOUNT of head-banging, head-scratching, style divining methodology will fix a FireFox-garbled issue. If you browse the w3schools pages, you will see alot of links to examples that are subscript-labeled "IE only", or "IE and Opera only" -- which of course means "will not work in Mozilla Firefox". My pal Erik will argue to the death, that M-FF is a superior browser, but for the life of me, I do not understand WHY a "superior browser" often will not understand Valid CSS??? I came here looking for answers to why some things just don't work in FireFox... only to notice that IE cannot Post any-damn-thing here, it shows a "missing image" marker where this text-box ought to be. I am very interested in an intelligent, well thought response that teaches plainly WHAT is the keycode to making FireFox display design elements 100& the same as IE. Thank You.

JIM_ELL on May 25, 2007 at 2:06:21 AM (# 1) EVIDENCE?, you might demand. Muhahahahahaaaa! Look at my Profile, here are three images to make it easy on ya: I coded my profile with FireFox I viewed my profile with FireFox I viewed my profile with Internet Explorer 7 *beats head on desk* Why Why Whyyyyyyy!? JIM_ELL on May 25, 2007 at 9:26:05 AM (# 2) This message has been edited. OK here's a strange thing: I saved my profile code in a local .html file, and FireFox interprets everything just fine. So where does that leave us? Apparently it is this Forum's software that cannot interpret CSS. What a shame, heheh. EDIT to 1st Post (there must be an editing timer around here...): I am very interested in an intelligent, well thought response that teaches plainly WHAT is the keycode to making FireFox display design elements 100% the same as IE.
