Web sites look "off"

Hey just a quick question that's probably been asked before, how come when I view a page in safari it looks fine and then when i view it in firefox or on a pc it's a little bit off? Is there an way for this to not happen? When I design a site should i just preview it in firefox?
Thanks!

All browsers behave slightly differently, the key to getting a perfect or acceptable result in all browsers can only be learned with experience & practice.
I've been designing & programming websites professionally for around 8 years & I still have trouble sometimes.
Generally Safari & Firefox are the best to test with as they are almost always behave the same as long as your html & css are valid (http://www.w3schools.com/site/site_validate.asp)
Validate your code & you will be a lot closer to clearing up any problems.
IE has always been a problem as it does not conform to web standards, however, that said, the latest versions of IE are a whole lot better now.
If you are using a program such as Dreamweaver, Frontpage, iWeb etc to build a website & not actually coding in html then you will never really solve every problem - the only way to do that is learn & understand html,css & how it works.

Firefox recently updated and Face Book looks wrong. I've gone through all of the trouble shooting in "Web sites look wrong"

I cannot get Face Book to display properly in Firefox. I've done lots of trouble shooting. All of the "Web sites look wrong" troubleshooting. Very frustrating. Other web sites display properly. Not Face Book. Help! I love Firefox!

Woo-Hoo! Started Firefox in Safe Mode and disabled everything. Went through the Preferences check list of potential problems and double checked all of the settings, restarted Firefox, in plain default mode and wah-la, everything looks right again in Face Book! YAY! Then tried re-installing my theme, and checked FB again and it's all good! Thank You Firefox Support Pages! :)

Why do photos on ebay, facebook, other web sites look distorted?

When I post photos or browse photos in ebay, facebook, and other sites they look distorted, although they come up fine in Internet Explorer.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.images pref should be 1.<br />
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

I am having difficulties loading pages. For example: I am on the powerschool web site looking at my child's grades. I want to get into a specific class and the page either takes many minutes to load or I get the error message that the page can't load. He

Can't get into specific class grades. It's not just here though; many pages load and load and load taking an extremely long time only to get an error message.

The color of the web site looks wrong when switched to full screen mode.

I was in a game website.
When I switched to full screen mode, the black text changed into blue text.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Is there a way to identify the key words being used for SEO when I'm visiting a web site?

When I am on a web site, looking at a product for sale, is there an app or add on I can use to see what that site has for key words, meta tags etc? It would be helpful when adding products to my own site to see what works elsewhere.

Do search engines even look at those anymore? URL, title and page content are what's relevant.
* http://www.metatags.org/google_ignores_meta_tags_in_ranking
In any case, you can look at the source code. Click the Firefox button, then Web Developer, then View Source. You can also press Ctrl+U.

Intention of JSF (web applications or web sites?)

Hi,
I want to write a web application that has a similar look and feel to todays desktop applications. Thus I don't need a typical web site look (title on the top, navigation bar etc.) but a more desktop look (a menu bar on the top, a status bar on the bottom etc.)
Although I like JSF I am not sure, if this framework is the best for this job. Thus I wanted to ask, if you can tell me the intention of JSF:
Is it to build web sites or is it also to build web applications without the typical web site look and feel? With JSF both is possible of course. And with the adequat JavaScript library on the client side it looks very nice (e.g. ExtJS).
But was this one of the intentions of JSF? Or was it primarily to build usual web sites with a page flow etc.? And maybe another framework is better for what I am going to do?
I only don't want to use a JSF for something it has not been made for.
Greetings
Mike

I don't see what the point is in making a distinction between web sites and web apps. Are you trying highlight the difference between say Apache vs. JBoss?I'm not sure what you mean by "the difference between say Apache vs. JBoss" but here's what I meant. When I think a web site, I think of a site where the interaction tends to be more reading, clicking from page to the next, etc., like, for example a news site. With a web app, I tend to think of statefulness, business processes, etc, like an online accounting system, content management system, etc. The distinction is probably pretty academic, though...
Well you need to decide if you're making a simple web site that serves static content or i fyou're making an application with a GUI. There's a big difference.Exactly.
For a desktop-like application, I say web browsers in general are a bad choice. I'd use Web Start if possible and write a GUI. In any case, Hehe. That's a completely different (though very valid argument(
AJAX is the last thing I'd use (now you're writing HTML, XML, AJAX, Java, etc..). Echo2 provides 1 single API rather than hacking several. Flex, while I haven't used much, seems to also provide a much cleaner solution. Fair enough, and that's not an uncommon opinion. I'm probably somewhere in the middle, but, for what I've been asked to do since the web 2.0 hype started, Ajax has been sufficient. I'm not Echo2 expert, but isn't that just an HTML/JS interface with a Java backend with Ajaxy operations? For really, really complex and dynamic UIs Flex (or JavaFX :) might be more appropriate.
Again, I haven't used JSF so I can't say much about it. But I see lots of projects all the time and JSF seems to be slow for adoption so far. Just my personal experience.Hmm. I've used it for about three years now, fwiw, and really, really like it. Which probably isn't worth much. I will admit, though, that JSF isn't always the right tool (thus the discussion here). As far as adoption goes, it seems to be growing much faster than the other frameworks out there, but I may have tinted glasses... ;)

Source control issues with Azure Pack Web Sites

Struggling to get my Azure Pack Web Sites POC off the ground. Infrastructure is built and I'm ready to deploy a .NET app. I can successfully deploy an app from the gallery and tested and it works so we're good there.
However I'm having an issue with source control and getting an app deployed. We have a local instance of Github enterprise here we use for all code repositories. Can I use this? In my tenant site I have created a new web site and added
an external repository for source control. I put in the HTTP link to my local github enterprise repo and it tries for a minute and returns the following error:
Command 'git.exe fetch external ...' aborted due to no output and CPU activity for 60 seconds. You may increase SCM_COMMAND_IDLE_TIMEOUT setting to solve the issue.
git.exe fetch external --progress
There's nowhere I can specify credentials or SSH keys so azure pack can communicate with my repo (i'm assume this is the issue). I can't put company custom code out on codeplex or public github so that's out. Am I trying to do something that
isn't possible in Azure Pack?

I guess I'm confused. When I go into my web site and click the Setup deployment from source control, under the External repository option it says both Git and Mercurial repositories are supported. This is a different button than the GitHub option
for source code. So what's the point of that option is you can't actually use a git repo?

How to turn off email and web site links?

I'm making my own letterhead template for my massage business.
I want to turn off the automatic linking to my email address and web site which are both included on my letterhead. It's just annoying that every time I accidentally click on either of those I'm taken to my web site or my computer is trying to email me!
I only snail mail my letterhead and have no use for the linking. I can change the type format so it looks like the rest of the letterhead, but I can't turn off the linking.
Paul

There is an option under Preferences > Auto-Correction to "Automatically detect email and web addresses." You want that one unchecked. There is also a link inspector, second from the right, with options to enable hyperlinks or make all hyperlinks inactive. Seems contradictory to me & I've found that if a document already has some linked text, changing these preferences doesn't change the existing links. And, if you paste in something with a link the link will still be active.

I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Is it necessary to add? If so, how do I add H Tags to iweb.

I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Are they necessary to add? Why would one add these tags and how do I add H Tags to iweb? And are there examples to look at? I am slowly learning about simple web design and assumed that iweb was stand alone without having to write code. Is this one of the reasons iweb is no longer supported? Thanks for looking at this!

A simple text page like this:
Heading
    sub heading
          text paragraph ....
Is traditionally represented by html tags like:
<h1>Heading</h1>
     <h2>sub heading</h2>
          <p>text paragraph ... </p>
I would guess that the use of h1-h6 tags helps search engines to understand the structure of a page as the tags imply a certain structure.
This can be compared to more generic tags like <div> that could represent any kind of content - and may be what iWeb uses (you'll have to check yourself).
I would generally recommend that you use some kind of up to date blog/site building tool, perhaps Wordpress or Squarespace (I haven't used either one myself) that support current web technologies - this should reduce your SEO issues and make it easier to properly support mobile/tablet users.

The bullets don't look right in my web site, i.e. 'p' or 'u' instead of ticks or arrows - how can I put this right?

The bullets on my web site do not look right, i.e. 'p' or 'u' instead of a tick or an arrow. Is there any way that I can change this or is there something that you can do to make it display properly? I have lots of ticks and arrows so an easy solution would be great!
I don't have the same problem with internet explorer or Google!
Many thanks for any help you can give,
Diane

Works for me on Linux in Firefox 3.6.x and 4.0.1.
However that is a font face="Wingdings 2" and such fonts that remap the basic ASCII set are not supported.<br />
It is better to use Unicode replacements.

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated to one of the firefox versions (Not sure which one it was)

Thanks Alex, but sadly I already tried that. Neither .docx or .xlsx files show up in the content list. They both show as a Chrome HTML document so changing how Firefox addresses those doesn't help since it thinks its the same type of file. I don't think I can manually add files into the "Content Type" left side nav.

Use it the same way as previously.
ctrl B shows the menus.
ctrl S shows the sidebar.
What else do you need help with?
