Subject: [WSG] Which browser is most stanard compliant?
In response to some of the opinions generated by my "Firefox first,
others later" way of testing my pages, it brings up the question of
which browser is closest to rendering my code the way it SHOULD
look? I was under the impression that Firefox was as accurate as
available today.
If gecko is out of date, which is best?
Gecko is certainly not out of date :-) Firefox and the latest Opera
versions are pretty close. You might want to reconsider your "Firefox
first, others later" philosophy, unless you just make personal sites.
While we love standards and we think Firefox and Opera are the cat's
pajama's, we tend to give prioroty to ensuring that pages work in the
world's most popular browser. We find it easier, too. The secret is
knowing IE's limitations before putting pen to paper. It's a heck of a
lot easier than making a masterpiece that tests in Firefox only to
discover it is a total mess in IE.
It's just my opinion, so I respectfully request the audience not throw
any tomatoes my way.
