FrontPage 2002:
I like FrontPage site management tools. They are probably the single best
reason for using the product.
Hate the browser wars. The website is being rewriting to get most of the
inline CSS into stylesheets, and we're finding ourselves back into the
browser wars again. Mozilla doesn't seem to play well with Microsoft as well
as it used to. What is the current best strategy(s) for solving browser
incompatibilities? Used to be that a sniffer was used and basically two or
three separate versions of the site had to be written. Is that still the
case?
Here's one irking problem:
Mozilla does not word wrap in a column. It stretches the column instead of
breaking the string. This is a problem for the FrontPage navigation system.
A navigation lin bar object that should look like:
xxxx | xxxx | xxxx | xxxx
xxxx | xxxx | xxxx
turns out like xxxx | xxxx | xxxx | xxxxx | xxxx | xxxx | xxxx
It extends past the column end and into the next column. Cell padding and
paragraph margins, contained in a stylesheet, have no affect. So how do you
get the navigation link bars to wrap around inside the column in Mozilla?
Is there a text or website devoted to dealing with browser incompatibilities
using particularly CSS and HTML?
#2: Wanting to get something close to standard XHTML and CSS, while solving
the above problems we were looking at TopStyle Pro. Any recommendations for
that particular task of keeping the HTML and CSS separate and maintaining
browser compatibility in the code?
Thanks,
