I now like Firefox!
 
For one reason only.It actually presents my website the way I want it to be seen.It even puts in the frames for the pictures that IE WILL NOT show despite any effort from me. :mad:

Can't comment on any other aspect(apart from resuming downloads) as I frankly am not that much of a geek. ;)

Incog.Going to go back and put in all the frames I left out.

Is this the site in your profile? If so, I like some of the Dali piccies you've got, especially Still life-fast moving :) A bit :notopic: but d'you like Escher?

Tsk, trust firefox to do it the long way ;)

PHP Code:
<?php 
$converts += 1; 
echo $converts;

Would be better :)

(or if I remember correctly)

PHP Code:
<?php 
echo ++$converts;

Not sure what you mean by "frames", could you expand a little? I have absolutely no doubt that if the site was written using mainly compliant CSS it'd look just fine in every browser.

Re: I now like Firefox!
 
Good to see you like Firefox.
Not only is it better security wise, but it also crashes a far lot less than Internet Explorer and is also a lot more helpful (Thankyou to whoever invented tabbed browsing).
Whenever I open the forums on here I always open the posts in new tabs. Its so much faster.

Good to have another Firefox user onboard.

Yup i was - but if you do the following Firefox will actually render a hell of a lot faster.

I stole it from some site somewhere else who's name i have forgotten. (Saved as a Txt file on my PC). Incidentally i use it and it works.

Quote:
Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:

1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!

Setting it to 30 is a good way to kill servers - and we don't want to do that do we :)

Maybe you should duck out of this conversation .. the astronaut is supposed to be in the main body text, NOT in the menu, IE is trying to render the image in the menu and it's not supposed to be there.

I checked this site out with both IE and Firefox, notice that in the left hand navigatiopn area, there is a background image of the astronaut but in firefox there is only one. The IE version seems to tile the background image

Attahching the pics.

EDIT: Bifta beat me too it, so if anyone is very piccy on what people double up on, I am sorry

Re: I now like Firefox!
 
Look I like Firefox because it actually makes my site load and look better.I'm not really into the coding just the imagery.

No one else has to use it, I'm not advocating that they should.I was saying two advantages I have discovered for myself.However IE still has more functionality than Firefox for the average home computer user so it maybe a while before it replaces IE altogether.

However I still hate Netscape. :td:

Of course not.However I can't help it if IE doesn't show it the way I set it up in Namo Web Editor now can I? I check it in IE and it looks the way I set it up but it doesn't seem to translate the way I intended when viewed online in IE. :shrug: You aren't losing out by much anyway.It's just the coloured frames around the images that are missing.I also like the way the images slowly come into focus in Firefox.But that's just my personal liking.In IE they just unfold from top to bottom.

Anyway I can't see why you are having a pop at me about a site you probably don't care about anyway. :rolleyes:

I'm not having a pop at you, get that chip off your shoulder.

All I said was is that it's possible to get it to render exactly what you need in IE (apart from the slow image rendering in firefox)

I don't code.I already stated that.I use an editor to achieve what I want.The differences are infinitesimal so I really don't see why you have such a beef about it.I'm sorry if I misread what you were saying and that you were trying to help me.I just never picked up on that.All I got was your antagonism to Firefox and anyone who uses it.

You don't need to code as such, but there are still bits people can learn and learning is good.

For example (and this is fairly self explanatory) you can put a border around images in the source code using something like

<img src="whateverimage.jpg" style="border-left:5px solid red; border-right:5px solid red; border-top:5px solid red; border-bottom:5px solid red;">

5px = 5 pixels width, solid = style of the border (you can use dotted, dashed etc) and red is self explanatory.

Obviously it's a bit of a pain to do this for every image so you could add this between the <head> tags of your document (if it hasn't got any style tags)

<style type="text/css">
.pictureborder {
border-left:5px solid red;
border-right:5px solid red;
border-top:5px solid red;
border-bottom:5px solid red;
}
</style>

Then, all you need to add is the class to your <img> tags, for example

<img src="whateverpicture.jpg" class="pictureborder">

Erm, Firefox wasn't the first browser to use Tabbed Browsing.. Opera has had it since about version 1...

It's probably the most hyped though..

Toto 06-01-2005 13:10
Re: I now like Firefox!
 
Well, I use Firefox, and the reason is that most Internet security experts say it is far more secure.

It is also less bulky in terms of system use, uses tabbed windows instead of having to open multiple IE sessions, and comes with a raft of usefull extensions.

I've not found a site yet that does not render well in Firefox, and I have converted all my non technical friends and family to this excellent browser. My technical friends already use it, and will continue to do so for a long time to come. Many of them have come over from Mozilla to Firefox, and are extremely pleased with the transition.

From the security aspect alone, Firefox has to be the browser of choice if you use a Windows O/S.

The first firefox one doesn't look to healthy, perhaps your web editor is causing a few of the problems.

I didn't know any HTML before I began my current job. Now, although all my web and intranet publishing is done through a wysiwyg editor, I have picked up enough to be able to see what code is being used to achieve the effects I want - and where our intranet editor, which is a bit basic in some respects, gets it wrong or simply won't do what I want, I can usuallly tweak the code myself. I've managed to achieve this simply by looking at the HTML view of what I'm doing from time to time and getting a feel of it. I'll never be really proficient (and I know nothing at all of other languages), but nevertheless it has been worthwhile if only to dispel my phobia of computer programming languages. :D

Paul K 06-01-2005 14:48
Re: I now like Firefox!
 
What software are you using to put your site together Incog? Certain tools that shall remain nameless have a habit of making a mess of the html and you end up having to go through it all by hand to pull out the rubbish.
(I still have to tweak Chim's site because I failled to tell it to use a coloured background when showing the pics :( When I get time :cry: ;) )

Well done!.

Incog, if you do learn HTML at first it will seem a bit difficult, and wierd (actually it is wierd), but once you have built a simple website, and looked at the code, it does start to make sense.. Bear in mind that HTML (and the World Wide Web) was originally designed to enable scientists who may or may not be computer literate to exchange information.

The only thing that might confuse you is if you look at sites generated by tools (such as Dreamweaver and particularly Frontpage) as these tend to bung in lots of messy and difficult to understand code, whose only function seems to be to slow download speeds.

Paul K 06-01-2005 15:36
Re: I now like Firefox!
 
Frontpage is terrible for it :( Dreamweaver is a bit better but most WYSIWYG editors have a habit of adding lines of junk in :(

Bifta 06-01-2005 15:39
Re: I now like Firefox!
 
Dreamweaver doesn't produce messy code, older version of Frontpage (98 mainly) used to but apart from the horrific abortions that are webbots the code it produces is just as clean as DW.

I am not saying Dreamweaver (or Frontpage) are bad tools. Far from it. I actually use Dreamweaver to maintain my own site, but tend to use the WYSIWYG elements while laying out the page, and then bung my own code in where appropriate.

It's just that as soon as you start using the more advanced WYSIWYG features of Dreamweaver, it has a tendancy to bung Javascript, JScript or VB Script at the top. This is obviously there to perform whatever function the user selected, but it can make what is happening harder to understand for the newbie (or for seasoned hacks).

It's my opinion as well. You shouldn't have to add tools and tweak it to make it a great browser. Opera is far superior.

You shouldn't have to add tools and tweak it. I've never done anything like that on IE.

And also, what's the point in adding tools and tweaking it if it decides to reset everything and unistall everything you put into it for no reason? (that also goes for all the favourites I lost aswell, thankfully IE still had them).

And also, what's the point in adding tools and tweaking it if it decides to reset everything and unistall everything you put into it for no reason? (that also goes for all the favourites I lost aswell, thankfully IE still had them).
I mean like Java, Macromedia flash, Shockwave and applying tweaks to make it run faster.

Shouldn't it run fast when you download it any way? I would have thought so.

Yes but you can use about:config to alter the pipelining settings.

It's fast anyway but you can alter it to make it even faster.

They are. Macromedia just bundle the players together in the Shockwave player.

Erm, the Shockwave player has always played flash movies (well, since 1999 anyway).

You can set them to be applied automatically. No need to bother about them then.
