I was just doing some work on the homepage of My Travel Extras, adding a top 10 London hotels widget & got it fitted in nicely with the other hotel & short break content on the page.
I Firefox for web browsing & the page looked great viewed through it. Of course, every good web designer knows that you must test your site in different browsers, so I fired up IE7 and lo & behold, the page looks a complete mess!!! >:o/
Internet Explorer drives me mad - the page looks perfect Firefox & Opera, but the web browser 75% of surfers use is the one that isn’t web standards compliant & has to have it’s problems worked around to build a site!
Microsoft promises that Internet Explorer 8 will be web standards compliant - I certainly hope so! In the meantime it’s back to the drawing board to try & get the page to work in ALL browsers - grrrrr!
Finally got it licked - two and a half hours later!!!!
If you haven’t already, you can download firefox for free! Try it out yourself and see why it’s the best browser on the planet.
