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.

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.

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.

But IE doesn't render all CSS correctly.

That's ok, neither does Firefox, think white-space, textareas and wrapping for an example.

Richard, if IE doesn't render CSS correctly, why does the clan UT2k4 website show OK then?

he said "all css" I strongly doubt Richard has used every CSS element known to man on that clan site.
