webpage browser compatibility

Postby n1kk1 on Fri Jan 30, 2009 3:40 pm

I've discovered that the reason my new website isn't showing correctly on different pc's is probably as the code is read differently depending what browser you are using.

I use IE at work and it looks fine, this is what I have created it in. Not sure what i am using at home but on my laptop all the images and menu jumps of the screen plus some of the images do not show at all. I've just downloaded firefox and a whole new host of problems have arisen looking at it on there!

So, my question is.. if I have set up my HTML code in IE is there some coding I can put in to make it accessible across all browsers?

I've been pulling my hair out with this and have made several postings to different forums but nobody has offered me any advice, i'm a complete novice with all this and would really appreciate any guidance out there!

There is no fix-all for different browsers. You just have to make sure your code is working across all of them. I use a site called browser shots to make sure I am doing things right. It basically takes a screenshot of your site using a bunch of different browsers. Here is the link: http://browsershots.org/

Best of luck!

I guess I do have one piece of advice. Get as specific as you can with your css and html attributes because if you don't clarify something, different browsers have different defaults. That is something I do when my page looks a little different on another browser.

Thanks for the advice, especially the website link that's very handy. I didn't think there was going to be an easy fix!
