Re: [css-d] Firefox vs IE6 .. two differences .. why?

2006-12-10 Thread Guy K. Haas
Thanks!  Item 2 was my main reason for writing and you nailed it.

Item 1 came to me as I was doing a close comparison to see just how much 
the two differed.  I can live with it -- or force to standard-compliant 
mode.

[css-d] IE7 and IE6 coexisting

2006-12-10 Thread Stephen Walter
I'm just getting into web front-end development having spent 30+ years in
every thing but, including back-end SOAP, multi-threaded persistence layers
and the like. Started in COBOL (and will be very happy thank you very much
if I never have to code in it again).

I'm thoroughly convinced that standards are the way to go, and will never,
for example, produce a website that uses tables for layout.

Anyway, my questions is this. I have FF 2.0, IE6.0 and Opera installed on my
machine to cross-check styling across browsers. IE7 is here, but I don't
want to install it and lose the ability to check my sites against IE6.
Anyone got some clues as to how I can have both installed on the same
machine?

Yep, MS is now supporting it.  See this:
