Question about HTML viewed under IE6 and Firefox

___ · 08-21-2004, 02:29 PM

Hi, I have a question about HTML and how it is viewed under IE6 and Firefox. In many sites I have visited, including my friends sites, I have experienced that Firefox views pages ALOT differently than IE6. There are many things that seem to change the appearance of a website which would not in a different browser. Does anyone know why some websites do not seem to be optimized for Firefox but work perfectly for IE6? As well, is there any way to fix all the errors seen in Firefox so that both browsers can view the website the same way?

The fact is that IExplorer doesn't follow all the standards, so you'll have to ask Microsoft about its behaviour (and sit down comfortably while you wait for an answer...).

Microsoft Internet Explorer Doesn't follow standars so they have some code that other browsers don't...

As a web designer it is hard for me to create a site that displays exactly in every browser... So most people like me had decided to for what most people uses, IE. I personaly desgin all sites for perfect view in IE6 because a can't be coding for every single browser...

Sadly every browser has it's "stadars", the W3C sould force them to stick to one coding and help designers (and users) to have a more pleacent surf...

I like Opera, is one of the more sticked to W3C and is fast, Firefox has a lot of diferences with every browser (but mozilla of curse).

I hope some day every body (IE, NS, FireFox, Mozilla) make a deal and stick to stardard coding (HTML and CSS).

Some day... it is possible!!
