Hello Mats, difference between the Rendering of Microsoft Explorer and Epiphany are to be expected, since they are using different layout engines. Epiphany uses 'Gecko' the layout engine of Mozilla Firefox (although it is planned to switch to WebKit, the same engine that powers Apple's Safari web browser and Google's Chrome.)
HTML layout engines are the part of a browser that takes care of displaying the HTML code of a website. And since not all engines follow all the rules the same way, there are difference between the final output of the different engines. However; Trident, the layout engine of the Internet Explorer is a rather bad example of a layout engine, since it has difficulties with Cascading Style Sheets. The Internet Explorer Version 6, for example, uses a different CSS box model than the one defined in the standard ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_box_model_bug). To make a long story short; using the Internet Explorer as a benchmark for Epiphany is a very bad idea, since IE is riddled with bugs. Epiphany is in no way bug-free, but you might want to try other browsers as well before you decide where the error originates. ;) So long, Raphael On Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 11:41 AM, Mats Olofsson < [email protected]> wrote: > Hello! > > > I have sometime found som small differences between the way Epiphaney > and MS Explorer show html-websites. > > In general when Epiphaney show these sites where differencesappear, text > is often mixed with an other text or there is a line break where it > should not bee one. > > One example is the Swedish website eniro.se.
