Re: Regarding Mozilla Browser Compatibility in an application

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance


Well even if something is in the w3c list it doesn`t guarantee that it will
work on every browser

as example take the marquee tag and the blink tag , marquee will work only
in IE blink will only work in netscape / firefox

However i code html to the W3C standards and if a tag / style or script
is not supported in all mozilla compatible browsers
( yes even IE is a Mozilla compatible browser ) then i simply don`t use it
in my project , and use a workaround to simulate the wanted effect even if
this means using pictures as you might have seen on my example sites they
can be minimized to anny size without something weird happening ( original
design specs were 800 * 600 minimum ) but i have the luxuery to have made
these websites with a graphics artist

Microsoft has the tendency to make things a litle bit to easy , shorter
Jscipt syntax for instance however the longer Javascript syntaxt is also
suported so the choice is are you going to limit yourself to a windows and
IE only audience ? i feel that the web should be open and vissible to
anyone also to those people who not choose to use IE as there prefered
browser , although it is the easiest way to code only for IE as it is the
most flexible browser when it comes to interpreting standards .
