Pages show differently depending on browser
« on: November 29, 2013, 08:33:05 AM »
Straight to the point...is there any way you can get the data to show the same in different browser types.

I am trying to learn and using WB_2 template as a basis. Have made some good progress but I am getting extremely frustrated that when I get a page looking right using Firefox as my design tool I then view in IE or Safari and some things are in the wrong place.

A good example, I loaded the index_txt file. Looks great in Firefox even if I don't change anything. when I look in IE the data in the cells is centered.

Here is the line from the txt file which says "left".
<td colspan="4" class="tableseparator"><style="text-align: left;">

Why does IE decide to centre it??

Have cleared the cache on IE etc.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Andy

Hi Andy,

To be sure of the way it should be in different browsers, you could verify
with demo page: http://weatherbyyou.com/demo/Weather_blues_v2/

The syntax you are showing in your post is wrong:
<td colspan="4" class="tableseparator"><style="text-align: left;">

Right way should be:
<td colspan="4" class="tableseparator" style="text-align: left;">

Hope this help!

Regards,
Jacques
Ps. Templates are allways tested with newest version of IE, Firefox and Chrome

Thanks Jacques for correcting my syntax. As I said I am "learning" and as we say, 3 steps forward, 2 steps back.

I also apologise, I cut the text from the wrong line. It was the table data which was ok in Firefox but not IE. Seems I either lost (or needed) a text-align: left; in the td section of styles.css. Makes me think that if its not specified Firefox defaults to left and IE to center.

Have attached poor quality picture of my project so far. As you can see it is based around WB_2 layout but different. Hope you don't mind. I will give WBY links and credits on the pages when finished.
