Firefox downloads?

Tue Feb 21, 2006 1:12 am

Dunno if this is the right place (Im never good with that xD)

Does anyone know if you can download a FF extention or anything to make all HTML show like its suppost to in IE? It would be a great help ♥

Do you mean the CSS styles and stuff? Can you give me an example?

If that's what you're talking about, then there's no extension to solve that. This is because Firefox is standards-complaint, while IE is not. That's why some HTML/CSS/etc. will work in IE and not FF, because the person who used that code isn't following standards.

For example:

Transparent boxes:
FF: Solid
IE: Transparent

Bold font:
FF: slightyl bold
IE: Bold

<h2> (headers):
FF: Slightly bigger
IE: Bigger (to the 'right' size)

The transparent boxes only work in IE because that CSS (at least I think it's CSS) isn't standards-compliant. As for the others, I think that's just how Firefox treats it, though I'm not sure.

Ah, so theres no extention or anything I can use? That stinks D:

Certainly there is. Search for IE Tab on the extension site.

It is a web designers best friend.

I don't think that's what she's talking about, because from what I read, I think she wants the HTML/CSS to work in Firefox, not IE. IE Tab just opens up IE in Firefox so it's easier to switch back and forth.

It definately answers her question of what she wants.

IE Tab is still in firefox, and the HTML is shown exactly like in the real IE (because it is the real IE).

There is no win-win in this situation. You either get the crapiness of IE inside of firefox, or just stick with the crapiness of IE outside of it.

Firefox renders its own non-standard version of box transparency:
Code:
.box {-moz-opacity: 0.5}

Is that placed into the CSS code, or is it just put on the site?
