What about cross browser compatibility?

HI
I was searching cross browser and platform compatibility
matrix.
Can any one give me info on this or point me a link?
Thank You,

Hi Suketu,
We don't have a matrix like that yet.
We have been testing on the latest browsers on both
platforms. Obviously, we are shooting to support all major browsers
correctly. We will note browser specific issues that we and other
users find on the Spry wiki.
I note in my Web Photo Gallery article that Safari has a bug
where doesn't handle XML nodes named <image> correctly.
If you find any browser specific bugs, please let us know!
Thanks for your help,

JSF Cross Browser Compatibility

In reading about JSF I find no promise for cross browser compatibility. Am I to assume that this has been missed because
i. JSF is a specification and not an implementation and I should be looking for the implementation to make that promise.
ii. it's basically to hard to promise this.
iii. I didn't look hard enough.
I am guessing it's a (i) with the likely hood of (ii) to follow. But I would be interested on any feed back that anyone cares to add. For example, a implementation that is trying to promise this.

In my opinion, the JSF specification (or better, any specification) can only refer to other specifications, but never to a concrete software product. Consider a sentence like:
        JSF 1.0 is compatible with IEWhat could that mean? Some possibilities:
(1)     As it happened, until now, we did not stumble over a
        faces application that broke when run on our Faces
        reference implementation (version 1_1_01) in a
        WSAD 5.0 container in combination with IE 5.5
        with patch 12345 on Windows NT4 SP6 patch 98765.
        (To breake means to produce a result not legitimized
        by the spec, or to produce no result when one is
        expected, at least not in a reasonable time.
        Breakdowns caused by power failure or other
        reasons outside the scope of the spec to be ignored)Well, not worth any further comment.
(2)     Implementations of JSF 1.0 Spec will not brake
        on any faces application when run in a
        WSAD 5.0 container in combination with IE 5.5
        with patch 12345 on Windows NT4 SP6 patch 98765
        (To breake means ...)That is ok... if you have just this combination of components and will never change. Keep in mind that (2) does not promise
anything if you use IE5.5 patch 12345a (and the saying is, there have been several patches to IE ;-)
(3)     Implementations of JSF 1.0 Spec will not brake
        on any faces application when run in any container
        in combination with IE 5.5
        with patch 12345 on Windows NT4 SP6 patch 98765.
        (To breake means ...)Same as (2)
(4)     Implementations of JSF 1.0 Spec will not brake
        on any faces application when run in any container
        in combination with IE 6.0 on any platform with
        any patches.
        (To breake means ...)Maybe what is intended, just impossible to promise. First, such a bold statement about some software can not be proven.
Second, even if you have gained good confidence by thorow testing, who knows which future changes Microsoft will apply to IE 6.0 (via patches, which offen not only correct bugs, but also introduce new and maybe incompatible features)
(5)     Implementations of JSF 1.0 Spec will not brake
        on any faces application when run in any JSP 1.2
        or higher container in combination any broser
        which supports:
           - HTML 4.0.1
           - JavaScript 1.3
           - CSS 1.0
        where IE 6.0 is a browser which supports these
        three standards on any platform with any patches.
        (To breake means ...)It's getting better. But why, for heavens sake, should a JSF specification make a statement about the compliance of IE with HTML 4.0.1, JavaScript 1.3 and CSS 1.0? I think it would be the job of Microsoft to declare the compatibilty of their products with standards (if any applies, whatsoever).
Therefore, lets get rid of these and we have:
(6)     Implementations of JSF 1.0 Spec will not brake
        on any faces application when run in any JSP 1.2
        or higher container in combination any broser
        which supports:
           - HTML 4.0.1
           - JavaScript 1.3
           - CSS 1.0
        (To breake means ...)Nearly finished, just a little bit wordy. It is (nearly) obvious what 'to breake' means. And that it is common wisdom that software breakes, not some specification (Or, as Bertrand Meyer put it, Bubbles don crash. Specifications may be contradictory or fail to describe an algorithm, but never crash). Common wisdom removed gives:
(7)     Implementations of JSF 1.0 need a JSP 1.2 container
        and a browser capable of HTML 4.0.1, JavaScript 1.3
        and CSS 1.0That's it. Specs exist for two reasons. First, to be discussed and thought about. Second, to be implemented. (To the supporters of agile methods: of course you can reverse the sequence ;-). Therefore, specs should be as short and concise as possible, omitting any useless blabla. If the specs are sufficently precise and of moderate complexity, we can even try to prove the compatibility of the specifications. 'COMPATIBLE WITH IE' is advertisement, not tech talk.
Conclusion: Mixing up specifications and implementaions is generally a bad thing. Exception: All sentences where a specification and a implementation are mentioned together should have the form:
         Implementation X does [not] conform to specification Y
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I have a follow up question, just inspired by yours. It does not especially concern JSF, but web pages in general.
Some time ago, I stumbled over quite a few web sites with big red eye catchers:
OPTIMIZED FOR INTERNET EXPLORER!!!
And really, they did not look good on Netscape Navigator. Now, my question is, what do you think when you hit such a page? My first thoughts (it's long ago) have been:
    - Oh, nice designers. They really care for the majority of people,
      my neighbor uses an IE.
    - They just skiped the work for other browsers and sell this as an
      optimization. And I didn't get it. Very clever.
    - Poor Guys. Probably they had no other browser at hand.
    - Obviously they had publish this tremendously important information
      under pressure, no time to also optimize for others browsers.Wolfgang Oellinger

Need some advice about cross browser display

Hi, I'm still trying to master css design and having a few
problems getting my pages to look the same on Opera and FF. I'm not
sure where I'm going wrong.
The site looks pretty much how it's meant to in IE (though
still in draft stage), but all sorts of gaps and spaces appear in
the other browsers that ruin the look.
Also in the 'restauraunts' 'shopping' and 'things to do'
pages the content drops way down on the page and I don't know why
that is either.
http://www.sorrentoquay.com.au/new_index.html
ps: I know I have a 916px image (the dropshadow) which is
causing the content to drop way down the page in FF and Opera, but
this is supposed to be in column with the content column lining up
along side it. It's doing what it's meant to do in IE.
I appreciate the responses so far, thankyou.

You must have fixed the original problem, because I don't see
any dropping
content in FF as I did when you posted originally.
However, your 'shadow' is not going all the way down the page
as it does in
IE7. Have you thought about moving that image out of the html
as using it
as a background image in that dive and repeating it on the
'y' axis)... may
also solve some of the gap problems you may be seeing, though
I can't see
them this time roung.

Cross Browser Compatibility

Hi everyone,
Can anyone point me in the direction of a good resource which
perhaps lists browser display differences? I'm sure it can't be
trial and error, there must be a guide as to what browser supports
what :)
Anywhere online or actual books, i'm open to all suggestions
Many thanks in advance

Minimize your need to know this by always coding with
standards in mind.
Use a doctype that is consistent with your coding ability,
and make sure
that you understand what those standards are.

HT3946 What about RAW file compatibility with Nikon D4?

Having trouble with RAW files from Nikon D4, didnt have issues before update, any help?

My apologies for the vague question. To be more specific after installing the latest update to Aperture, RAW files from my D4 after being transfered into Aperture cannot be opened. Message saying Aperture does not support these files. Not sure if it has anything to do with XQD card, all formatted as usual. Stumped.
thank you kindly for your time.

Browser compatibility issue with IE6/7

Hello,
I created my webpage in dreamweaver on a MAC. I have viewed my page(s) A-OK in Safari and firefox however I am being told that my page is not viewing properly on Internet Explorer. I then found the browser compatibility feature to test the page in Dreamweaver. What I have found is that I have browser support problems...this is the error from my index page - which is actually on all my pages!
un-scrollable content bug:
If one or more absolutely-positioned elements are placed within a relatively positioned element with no assigned dimensions, either no scrollbar will appear at all, or it will not extend far enough to view all of the content. (Note: This bug will not affect your page if the content in the AP element does not extend beyond the height of the viewport.)
Affects: Internet Explorer 6.0
Likelihood: Possible
This bug is on line 56: <div style="position:relative">
This issue is on all my pages...please help
I am just not sure how to solve this problem - I am more of a designer than a coder. Any help whatsoever to point me in the right direction is most graciously appreciated!!!
My webpage URL is: lifeforcemd ah yes that is a .com extension - lifeforcemd.com

Hi kadarusastry,
This issue is about the browser compatibility.
Please add your SharePoint site into compatibility view in IE 9 or IE 10.
Or, use IE 8 mode in browser mode for IE 9 or IE 10.
About how to add site into compatibility view, you can refer to the link:

Cross browser differences

The jsp pages in our project work fine in IE browser. But in Netscape browsers, the alignment is all messed up. We are at the end of the project and we dont have time to change all the jsp pages. I was told that there is some kind of javascript to handle situations like this. Including that javascript in the jsp pages essentially solves this problem. I was wondering if this is true? Please share your knowledge on this topic. I really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Ravi.

Hi,
it depends on how you have structured your code. If you have done a css for the layout, you can know what browser is in use and switch to a specific external css. Something like:
if (document.layers)
document.write("<LINK HREF='netscape.css' REL='stylesheet' TYPE='text/css'>")
else if (document.all)
document.write("<LINK HREF='stile.css' REL='stylesheet' TYPE='text/css'>")
else if (!document.all && document.getElementById)
document.write("<LINK HREF='mz.css' REL='stylesheet' TYPE='text/css'>")
else
document.write("<LINK HREF='xx.css' REL='stylesheet' TYPE='text/css'>")
and so on...
Sometimes the problem is in using special costruc that works fine only in IE (for example): this is quite more complicated to solve, becouse you have to find a different solution.
There isn't any "general" solution to cross browser compatibility; usually it is a good idea to start developing in order to achieve it and not to demand it in a late stage.

I need to install Firefox 4 for browser compatibility testing, but I can only find installers for the current version and 3.6.19; where can I find what I'm looking for?

I am trying to do some browser compatibility testing using Firefox, but I can't find any installers for it here. The closest I can find are installers for 3.6.19 at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html. Where can I find an official installer for Firefox 4?

Solved my own problem - I can download the installer by navigating directly to http://download.mozilla.og/?product=firefox-4.0.1&os=win&lang=en-US.

A few cross browser questions

Hello, I have been searching for results for sometime and
decided to come here to ask my question.
Now, I know these questions have been asked alot of times but
I have no good results.
My question:
Why does every website I make look Good in IE and bad in
firefox?
or vise versa. I can make it look good in firefox but looks
bad in I.E.
I mean I layout the design perfectly in Dreamweaver 8 and it
looks sweet in I.E. preview in Firefox and it makes me not want to
make layouts any more..
What do I do? And how do I fix this?
Currently I am making a "Liquid" Layout, using "%" for my Div
and Tables, and they seem to be ok in I.E. like I stated, but still
when I view in firefox, everything is to the left or off centerd or
just plain nasty.
Anytips? I got the whole Screen Resolution trick down, now I
just need professinal tips on cross browser design.
I don't have my site hosted yet so I cannot give you a
preview. I am sure you know what I am talking about as well.
I searched google and many forums (including this one) and
came up empty handed.
What am I doing wrong? Do I just manage the site as it is
even though that the website is 5px off to the right/left in
firefox and looks great in internet explorer.
I want to provide a clean site for both browsers with out
having them redirecting.
Which I can redirect one "If I.E." to a page, and redirect FF
to a diffrent. But that's a hassel in my view.
Seriously, what do I do?
Thank you for your time and any response.

As Jo mentioned, it would be too hard to give you advice on
your page
without seeing the code (or even better a live version).
The better approach is to design for Firefox and then fix the
errors that
are produced in IE.
Are you using a full doc type? That is important, because if
not, then IE
will go into quirks mode, thinking it is rendering your page
correctly, but
FFox will show it out of wack.....
are you using divs of 'layers' (absolutely positioned divs)?
As you can see there are many things that may be wrong with
your site- so
without seeing it, it's too difficult to offer specific
advice.
Have you been through the css tutorials at the Adobe site
(link in my
sig)..... they are very helpful - starting with beginner
tutorials and
moving on from there.

Need help with Rollover Image cross browser problem

Hello,
I am having a cross browser problem with my websites rollover nav links. The trouble is, while they work perfectly fine in IE8 and IE9, I’ve also attempted to use them through Opera, and they simply don’t work. They don’t link nor do they do their rollover effect. And I was trying to figure out what I have done wrong. Currently the site is not completed, but the first two pages are, the “news” and “about me” pages are currently (as of right now) working. The address to the site is below.
http://maxmetal.xsustudios.com/index.html
I hope that someone can help me with this, if needs be I can put the code for the CSS and HTML into this part if it will save some time for everyone. Sorry too about the PNG images, I have to change those over to semi-transparent GIF’s yet so the site does take a while to load…
Hope someone can help me with this!
PALADIN

When I disable CSS in my browser, the rollover buttons work just fine. This tells me your CSS is messed up and you've layered something over your menus which is making them inaccessible to users.
I noticed you've applied relative positioning to just about everything on your page. Why?   Default CSS positioning (unspecified or static) is all you need for 98% of layouts.

My advice would be to start over using a pre-built CSS Template with all the divisions and columns you're likely to need for this project. Below are some good links to get you on the right track.

Cross Browser? Opinions please.

Say a developer develops a basic .html site that is viewable
cross-browser. Now, taking advantage of features available in one
browser, he or she develops content that uses those features.
Not wanting to negatively impact the experience of other
browser users, whose browser cannot use those features and indeed
causes problems in their browser, the developer codes the site to
detect the browser and not display the additional content to them.
So the browser users who can see the new content get it and
those with other browsers see only the original site. No harm, no
foul? Or is the definition of Cross-Browser that EVERYONE MUST see
the same content - develop for the lowest common denominator?
The reason I ask, is that I have heard people throw around
terms like "unprofessional" if someone develops for only one
browser. I was just wondering what the definition of Cross-Browser
is.

"unprofessional" might be too much of a word. Bottom line is
what is that your
client needs and agree too.
For years people were developing stuff that was only
supported in IE, no one *****
about it because it was kind of given, we all knew it simply
did not work anywhere else.
From basic css to dhtml and others...
If my clients does not mind that I develop with FireFox in
mind and not IE, why would
I care if someone call me unprofessional. I want my content
to work right to the client
liking.
I read some threads day or two days back, pretty similar
issue. Tho I could not agree
with some of the points but than again, if my client has a
say in it and he is ok, that
is fine with me. Lots if not all of my clients feel strongly
about IE and security problems.
These are normal mortals, not computer savvy people and they
hate the idea that
regular surfing get them pack up with spyware and all this
stuff, people who not suppose
to know about cleaners, protections and 20 other applications
required just to run browser safely.
Because of that, they strongly encourage support of FireFox
and content specifically built
for it.
I herd many of times, "don't worry about IE, we don't want it
anyway"...

Browser compatibility checker

I wrote earlier about problems I am having with the correct
presentation of my home page with Safari 3.X and Firefox vs. IE7.
With Dreamweaver CS3 the browser compatibility checker works
with (as one browser example) Safari 1.X and 2.X.
Is there a way to update the checker to deal with the newer
versions of any and all browsers so that the checks can be of more
current use? I already know my site is fine with Safari 2.X, but
the outmoded check can't give me any clues as to what is wrong when
viewed with 3.X, etc.
Thanks.

If you have page rending problems run your site through the
W3 validators.
Valid code takes care of most, if not all, rendering problems
in Safari, FF,
Opera and IE7.
http://validator.w3.org/check
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
Sorry, I don't know if you can update the browser
compatibility checker
list. I never use it. I run my sites through live browser
checks.
