Uniformity

What is the difference between "Mozilla/Firefox" and "Internet Explorer?" And why do web-sites, my web-sites, appear differently on them? It's kind of confusing to me that when I have created my web-sites and viewed them upon the different browsers some things appear differently. I'm just wondering if this normal or is it due to something I did or neglected to do back in the creation phase. For instance, I have added for some text to appear when the mouse is dragged over certain pictures on my sites. In I-Ex it shows up, but not on F-fox. But then on F-fox my web design is centered and has the border I made in NvU, while on I-Ex it's off. I don't know, maybe it's a trade off. Hopefully, I'll figure out before too long some of the tricks of the trade.

  1. Ernie, some of the problems are due to our using NVu, but some could be solved.

    For example, if you did not center your table in NVu (even if it looked centered) than that could be the problem. Also, certain fonts don't work well everywhere.

    Yes, there are a few tricks and A LOT to learn about web publishing, but you can see that it's pretty easy to do and that it has a lot of benefits. I am impressed with all you've learned this semester!
