Firefox Inventing Its Own Html?

Bảo Tuấn

Mar 26 2007, 03:24 AM

I am building a website for a client. I finally have the animations and the site content the way i want it. I updated the site via FTP, and IE displays it perfectly. Firefox however displays my "work in progress" animations still, even though the index file references the new animation. I have cleared cache, and even looked up the site on different computers, and on every one, FF displays those darn rough draft animations while IE works perfectly. Any idea as to what is going on here?

Can you give the url to that website? What kind of animations you're using? We need more info.

I would have suggested a Forced Reload (not simply deleting the cache) by pressing Ctrl+F5, but then again you say you've tried it from various comps. It's not possible to comment any further from the info you've provided. As Quatrux said, you need to give us the URL of the site. A look into the code might reveal more.

Did you try viewing it as a IE web page. All browsers view sites differently. I use Opera because it is easy to switch how it views sites. On firefox you can also do this by right clicking and going to options (I think that should do it). You should be able to change how it views the page and even how the page views the browser (as in browser redirecting ect). Refresh the page and that should do it.
Hope this works,

PS if you are confused P.M. me and I will check how to do it exactly.

even i have faced such problems manytimes, the solution is to find a code that works for both ,make small changes which wont affect internet explorer but may help to rectify the problem in the firefox,even i have seen that internet explorer allows many errors in html code ,but firefox doesn't ,but if there is a problem firefoc display the page properly than the internet explorer espscially in collapsible tables and boundries

I've had problems with IE displaying things. Are the two using different coding? How can there be in effect 2 kinds of HTML? Aslo can you use IE to view as FF page? Because some people are stubborn and won't switch.

Do you still have other traces of that image on your server? I'd delete the image that shows up and double check the coding to make absolutely sure that there is no error. If it still doesn't work then it would probably be a .htaccess file or webserver configuration so you might want to check that too.
Otherwise i've got no idea

It's not because of 2 "different kinds" of HTML but because of the way IE and FF render pages. The rendering engine in both are coded different. IE allows lots of "extra" Microsoft specific tricks and automatically tries to fix syntax errors and in turn has very bad compliance to the HTML standards defined by W3C.

In comparison Firefox is far more standards compliant (following upto 99% of W3C's recommendations) and doesn't give you much lee-way in terms of coding error. A page which may seem to render fine on IE may not render at all in Firefox. On the other hand, since IE doesn't follow much of W3C's recommendations of both HTML and CSS, valid HTML layouts sometimes break-out in IE and become a mess. Stupid cow of a browser, if you ask me only fit for retards.

As for vieweing the page in both modes - am not sure if you can do it in IE. But for Firefox, you have an extension called IE Tab which can render a particular page / site for you in IE mode, right inside a Firefox tab.

Firefox does not use a different kind of HTML (HTML is universal among all browsers), but it does have a different method of displaying HTML pages. Firefox uses a rendering engine called Gecko, created by Netscape, that renders HTML according to strict rendering standards. IE ignores these standards, letting incorrect, and possibly harmful, HTML and JavaScript "code" to be rendered. One such example is the document.all property in JavaScript. I was trying to include a simple timer on my web page depending on the pendule of the document. I copied the source from a web site and it worked fine on IE, but it got all messed up with Firefox. I changed one of the properties to "document.all" and it worked fine.

In fine, Firefox renders web pages more exactly than IE does. IE spawned "bad" HTML, HTML that does not adhere to the standards but IE renders fine anyway.

To solve your problem, go through your "code" and make sure that everything is standardized. I don't know how you have it set up, but it could be something very simple. Give an example of your code to us and we'll try to help you.
