ivanmax Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 My website looks different in different browsers (I am only interested in Firefox and IE really). www.pedaldoc.com (check out the spanish side of the web as it the one giving me more problems) How is that posible? Isn´t Dreamweaver suppossed to be a WYSIWYG editor? I get in IE what I see in Dreamweaver but I don´t in Firefox...Why? I am going mad with this problem really as I don´t now how to solve it. Any suggestions? Iván Quote
TCH-JimE Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Hello, Dreamweaver is a WYSIWYG but its not 100% perfect, coupled with the fact that IE displays everything badly anyway, doesn't help. In firefox the only part which displays wrong is the menu at the first instance, after clicking on the rest, it all looks fine in my firefox browser. However, the menu is in flash, so that needs to be looked at first JimE Quote
Deverill Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 HTML, the basic "language" of web pages, is a markup language. Since it is not a precisely descriptive language such as a desktop publishing program would use, you will get different pages on different browsers, computers, screen resolutions, etc. HTML can tell a browser to make something bold or to center it, but it does not choose the exact placement on the page. This is why different browsers are free to make things look slightly different. You will probably not see a day any time soon where the page looks exactly the same in different browsers unless it has a ton of work put into it and is fairly basic. Even graphics have different brightness on Mac versus PCs. Quote
