Interesting Stats....sign of things to come?

Took a quick look across my sites I'm running something like this:

MSIE: 66.57%
Firefox: 26.9%
Safari: 3.08%
Opera: 1.49%

Everyone else is fighting for scraps.

Firefox slowly pecking away at it. Not sure they'll ever get the majority though because most people just aren't tech savvy enough to bother swapping out what comes with the OS.

The lesson in there is your true newbie dumb ass surfers are your MSIE surfers....that means they're also the easiest to convert with adult. Firefox users are more savvy.

I've been using FF for well over a year. When I build free sites and such, I always make sure they look just as good in FF as they would in IE.

Yup, good code should look right in both Firefox and MSIE.

Since I switched what looks good in FF looks different on IE & visa versa.
I truly do not find a medium between the two, finding myself having to decide which one I'm going to stay with on publication, and which one I'm willing to sacrifice and leave looking crappy. I presume I'd go with the one I receive more hits from.

Internet Explorer or Mozilla? Yahoo or Google? Chocolate or Vanilla? Missionary or Doggy? Waffle House or Denny's?

I sometimes forget about cross browser compatability.

Pages looking well in IE as well as Netscape used to be the major concern. Sounds like there are still more issues that some of us forget.

Does anyone know of some handy code like there used to be with Java script to ensure your pages look good in major browsers?

I hit one the other day that made me go hmmmm.

I was working a "css only" layout (no tables, just class and ids defined in css) and it worked properly in IE but was messing up in FF.

Checked the code 10 ways to hell, through all sorts of css checkers, changed it around in ways I know should throw it off.

Bottom line was that FF was not handling the css properly but IE was.

I finally figured a work around that forced it to work in FF.

It was weird though, kind of like working backwards because I am so used to IE being the fucked up browser.

I use FF and IE about equally.
