Hi

Ive been using firefox for a while and it rocks, really. The problem is, some of the Web pages I visit look bad in Firefox, but they look good in IE. I was thinking that maybe Firefox developers would like to know that so they can improve the page rendering or whatever they need to fix to make that work. How can I tell them that?

Thanks biggrin.gif

I think that it is more of the websites issue rather than firefox itself, firefox follows the correct standards, if a page doesn't render right then the page is not written according to those standards.
gwai lo
but wasn't there something about firefox not working too well with css?

Possibly, but for the most part I think that it is the website fault that there not following standards, But I'm sure that firefox has it issues.

Firefox works great with all of CSS2, now CSS3 isn't final so Firefox hasn't updated to follow those standards because its not final and not a standard yet since changes are still being made...but anyways i dono if the site is CSS3 or not but I'm 99% sure its the programmers fault...do a validation check on the page, and I bet ya there are at least 15 errors

don't let the FF developers know, let the site designer know.

firefox handles css better than ie by far... ie has the f'd up box model.

if a webDev doesn't yet know about standards... what are they doing?

coding with frontpage?

Where I worked for work experiance... the website guy there had never seen the w3c site, let alone the validator.

I gently pointed him in it's direction (even pointed out a flaw in his site's design) but he still uses FP no.gif
