Web Design HacksFirefox and IE finally work togother |
| If you ever design websites, you know that it's a pain to get them look the same in both Firefox and Internet Explorer. Today I was about to become bald, when I found this little neat page. It shows lots of diffrent CSS hacks and how to use them, it saved my day. Maybe someone else will find it useful. | |

Cheers, I have bookmarked it for now but it should come in handy. I know what youre saying too, IE is a pain in the arse!

Now I found another useful web development tool, browsers.evolt.org/?ie/32bit/standalone. You can download IE6 and use it at the same time as IE7. I now have one Firefox window, one IE7 window, and one IE6 window

Very nice! Though I wish I had this before IE7 came out. IE6 is dead (thank god!) and everyone with a legit copy of windowsXP  would have IE7 by now.I find that IE7 does support the newer CSS spec so I rarely have the reason to use hacks anymore. IE does tend to render some elements differently (= incorrectly) to firefox so I'd go with creating separate stylesheets for both. Nice find overall.

I'm sure that some people are still using IE6, but those are few.

Heh I agree, It's sad that many schools and colleges are still using that security flaw as a web browser and are still reluctant to upgrade! Do you think it's a financial issue? @shroom_monk: lol I hope that wasn't a concious choice! You really need to update your windows, if you can...

Last year our school upgraded to XP, the computers can barely handle it.

When writing a PHP site, I don't often resort to hacks. I get PHP to check the user agent header for "IE", which should cover ever version of Internet Explorer, and if found, shove it a few extra bits of CSS. I know that means that not every browser has everything done perfectly as I want, but it's all near enough I was just wondering if anyone else used the PHP method, so that instead of hacks, fixes are given only when the browser needs it. |
