I have been doing a substantial amount of work on my website this past week. I have been introducing myself to ASP.NET 2.0 to better get a grip on better web development practices. Of course though, I had to run into some trouble. I've been developing my site in Visual Studio and viewing it in FireFox. I just noticed a few minutes ago that when viewing my site in IE7, the entire layout is ruined. I'm not sure if this will occur on earlier versions if IE or not, but I was wondering if you guys could view my website and provide me with some feedback as to if the layout is ruined on your IE browsers as well.

Ew...: http://www.dcmp.z27.net/ugly.jpg

Thanks if you help..

I just don't get it. It looks perfect in FireFox, yet IE kills it, for example this is what the administration pages look like in IE:

I guess I will just have to spend a good amount of time looking through the code for problems...

Thanks, though, Goztow.

On http://www.dcmp.z27.net/Default.aspx, line 90, you should probably close that HR.

never develop a webpage for one browser only. I learned that the hard way Wink.

I try to design for both, but its hard to do at once. I usually use FireFox for the basis of my design, then fix what is needed for IE. In this case though, I'm using new things I havn't before, and I just can't seem to figure out the problem. I'm sure I will eventually, though.

I figured out what the problem was; it was a minor problem with the width properties of a few objects. Thanks for pointint out the open HR tag, xptek, cleaned up the HR line a bit.

Thanks guys.

Next time you take a screen shot hold ALT and press the button, It'll take the shot of the current active window and not both displays. Save file size and overall resolution.

I wouldn't develop your site for IE7 or FireFox 2 just yet, there is alot of problems I've heard. In fact, the BB on my Universitie's site has alot of problems in IE7. However, your site looks great in Firefox Wink

The thing is, if your site doesn't work properly in each site, there's an error in your coding regardless of what browser you're using.

whoa.

Yeah. I found that one of the tables in my layout was coded 2 pixels too wide.

Edit: Quick question, how were the loading times for you guys?

If you code using XHTML 1.1 and valid CSS, there should be no problem seeing your website properly in Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer 7!

Avoid using tables and HR tags when they're not needed, too.

No. Seriously. No.

I'm not too familiar with the coding standards for web development anymore, I should probably go read around articles and whatnot. I'm not worried about it right now though, I have a lot of work to do before January 1st arrives.

From clicking the link on the banner page it took about 8 seconds to fully load.

EDIT: Trying it again only took 3 seconds, since the images were all in cache that time.

Oh, I hate graphical designs. Well, for the most part. I go the simple way. My new design: http://www.thekingsthrone.net/id

The banner is the only graphic on that site. Hmm, I should probably validate the CSS and XHTML.

whoa.

I coded my site in ASP .NET 2.0, which I have noticed has increased the loading times of my pages by 2-10 seconds. Before when I had it coded in HTML it took less than a second. Better technology isn't always better.

I like non-graphical designs too, but I can never seem to make mine decent when I do go that route. I might make a non-graphical design one of these days.

I could always help. I've gained a pretty decent amount of CSS knowledge, and I know where to get help if I don't know. I need more stuff to design, anyways.

I'm going to start a non-graphical layout and see how it works out, then I might take you up on that. I never really got into CSS, so I'll see what happens.

Yeah, I started to get into the CSS + XHTML design. I have to say, though, that that one needs some gradients or something. =P

No. Seriously. No.

Fuck gradients. That's too much graphics. I like a slight highlight/gradient on my banner. Just enough to give it a soft, round look.

Have many people started using IE7? I tried it, but I hate it. I am so used to the old look that I returned back to IE6. Now I stared to use Firefox and I am loving it.
Too bad Gunbound still uses IE only.

I don't use it, but design my site to work with it, but I don't know anyone personally who actually uses IE7.

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1419/

Install that. It's not only great for web designers who want to check to see if their designs work in IE as well as Firefox, but it also helps for those annoying pages/sites that will ONLY work correctly in IE. You can just set the certain page up in the options to always open up in the IE rendering.

whoa.
