explorer or firefox ?

[tomtefan]

I just found out why my game was skewed and messed up after my erasing of my HD.

I was opening it in explorer instead of firefox.


is there a way to code the stuff so it can be viewed in both ? and not messing up the either one. ?

That is one of the largest struggles in web design: cross-browser compatibility. I can really only suggest Googling some articles about it. There are many, many tips and tricks to know.

yes, doing it one way in firefox usually means doing it another way in explorer.

You just have to see what in your code explorer doesn't like then make it work for both.

Of course.. and it's quite easy.. Design you website with Opera. If it works in opera it will work in nearly all the other browsers.

Opera has its own quirks compared to the other browsers so that isn't entirely true. But it is, in general, the advice that I give newbie developers. Last I remember, Opera was very strict.

The biggest helpful thing, would be using a CSS reset sheet. That would normalize the browsers for you, from that point (while I generally recommend targeting one and saying use it) you can use various compatibility hacks to support the different browsers.

Look up [browser] compatibility hacks to get a list of what would be most relevant.
