Mozilla SUCKS!! Part II (other didn't work)
I realise this is my personal opinion, but I'm sure I speak for many users when I say, it sucks.
Ok, so I'm making a farely complex table layout design, I finally after hours of work get it all ligned up, using my rowspans and such, get it online with basic content, but wait will it work with Mozilla? (I usually don't care, but lets face it for some unknown reason, people actually use this browser). So I ask one of my designers if it looks ok, he tells me one of the images is mis-aligned, sends me a screenshot and wow, this is me ..
Ok, so to fix the problem, it needs to go 3 pixels left, but if I move it 3 pixels left, IE makes it go 3 pixels mis-aligned. Right now I am re-building the whole HTML because the awkward bastards decided to make a new browser (unlike netscape which looks the same as in IE) can't make it easy on us developers.
So I decide to check out some other design companies designs on Mozilla, needless to say, some are perfect, some aren't. But what really got me was Mozilla refuses to load the flash elements and freezes them in the first frame, do you people (Mozilla uses) really put up with this? Is there a way to turn it on? Why isn't it default? Jesus christ, it's Lucifers creation to making everything WRONG.
Some of you may laugh, disagree, think what the %^$£ is Mozilla? But let me say this, if I ever meet the people who created Mozilla, I will burn them personally, seriously what sort of demon browser is this?!?███ ServeYourSite

Mozilla has tabbed browsing, skins, and an array of features. Why wouldn't you use it? Unless you're The Dude , of course.
Now, tables should only be used for tabular data, NOT layouts. If you use divs/CSS for most of your layout, you'll see that changing certain elements is easy. Also, the design will look nice on both browsers.
Learn some newer coding standards and put them to use! IE isn't going anywhere, Mozilla and Opera are the new wave.

Actually, Mozilla is showing you the way it should look with your coding. So if it looks messed up, your code is messed up. If you actually know how to code true html and not use an editor like dreamweaver you'll have no problem. As far as the flash, it's because mozilla is smart and requires you to install a plugin.

I use CSS also, doesn't seem to like "my style of coding" until I 'correct' it.
Tabbed browsing? I think I'll stick to Netscape or IE thanks███ ServeYourSite

If you stick to Netscape, you're just contributing to what you call a "devil browser" as the mozilla crew were the ones coding for netscape until a couple of months ago. Netscape and Mozilla are basically the same browsers minus branding.

AOL owned Netscape and dropped it, so all developers went to the Mozilla project.
Tabbed browsing is multiple sites in one window, which means less load on your PC. IE doesn't have this and NS is depricated.
Your HTML is just as important as the CSS.

** Notices the flash elements ahsn't been noted.
If these 'devils' made Netscape, why does Netscape view the same as IE, but Mozilla runs differently?███ ServeYourSite

Mozilla runs differently because it was made better. It doesn't allow sloppy code to look good. Does exactly what it's suppose to do, show the webpage the way the code for the page was written, not how it thinks it's suppose to look. So what it comes down to is, write crappy code, it'll look crappy, write proper code and it'll be fine.

The fact is IE hold 90% of the market. If the people that used Mozilla doubled it would still only have double digits in the market. Becuase of this I build for IE and though I check Mozilla, I rather have that a little off then IE.
As for using Mozilla (firefox), I have to say I like it a lot. The tabbed browsing and popup blocker is something IE badly needs. Hopefully it will come in the next IE version.Alvin

Just code proper so it shows fine in Mozilla and you'll have the best of both worlds. If it looks good in Mozilla, it'll look good in IE. Saying you only code for IE 'cause its the market hold is just an excuse for crappy code.

Sorry justb read your first post, must of missed it.
Did I say I only code in IE? Excuse me if I did but that's not true, I check in Netscape and on Mac (forgot the browser name).
My sites look fine in Mozilla, it's just this one, I tried to get away with "crappy code" because it wasn't working in IE how it should of been.███ ServeYourSite

Sounds a bit silly yes?
I agree good coding is important but being critical of a browser because it allows for 'errors' and compensates for them seems a bit odd.Former Webhost... now, just a guy.

A bad comparison, but..

As all XHTML/Strict experts will tell you, Internet Explorer is evil. It renders code badly and incorrectly, and often a whole new set of CSS is needed just for IE to handle the code without breaking. All the other rendering engines - CAB, Gecko, KHTML, Opera etc. render it fine, but IE... no chance.
Netscape uses the Mozilla/Gecko rendering engine, so the rendered output should be identical. Perhaps your version of netscape is slightly out of date?
I really like KHTML, though!Gone.

I check my pages in most of those browsers to make sure they appear the same (or closest as possible) no matter what browser is used.
