The WebInspector is great for understanding CSS on other peoples sites.<BR/><BR/>That said, the guys in my team are pretty happy with Microsoft's IE developer toolbar, that offers similar CSS inspection - although 'within' the browser window rather than floating over.JulesLthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04387310279928194787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110180.post-27923795284203114082006-12-19T02:37:00.000-08:002006-12-19T02:37:00.000-08:00As for shiny buttons and such in Firefox, try the ...As for shiny buttons and such in Firefox, try the macfoxIIgraphite theme.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110180.post-4839598991603266302006-11-28T10:13:00.000-08:002006-11-28T10:13:00.000-08:00No worries Howard, I have similar observations usi...No worries Howard, I have similar observations using FF2.0 on Ubuntu 6.10 <br /><br />It seems like QA tests were not done properly;)ciukeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05571319589211315191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110180.post-15826308081837709332006-11-28T09:37:00.000-08:002006-11-28T09:37:00.000-08:00No, Tapestry will not be coding directly to FireFo...No, Tapestry will not be coding directly to FireFox. I'm just restating some of my clients' positions: they get thier application working on FireFox, then provide a CSS/JavaScript "patch" to get it working under IE. Nobody wants to develop full time using IE since the developer support is so poor, but developer support built in to FireFox (via a WebDeveloper and FireBug plugins) is great.<br /><br />Leveraging libraries such as Dojo is important, since they usually, or at least often, create cross-browser APIs that smooth out the differences.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04486596490758986709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110180.post-28618882196919191722006-11-28T08:30:00.000-08:002006-11-28T08:30:00.000-08:00"I think a shift has occured..." Hope you are not..."I think a shift has occured..." Hope you are not using this assumption as a guide in any of your Tapestry development. To techies, Firefox is relevant. To the rest of the world it is not. Saying it is the standard is the equivalent of saying AMD is the standard and not Intel just because AMD had great market share gains over the last couple years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110180.post-68352166486566115622006-11-28T01:52:00.000-08:002006-11-28T01:52:00.000-08:00I wish Firefox was seen as the standard at my work...I wish Firefox was seen as the standard at my workplace. I converted from IE just under a year ago and since using the plugins I don't think I could ever go back. I'm still running 1.5 because when I checked out version 2.0 not all the extensions that I use work in that version and I didn't want to stop using them.<br /><br />I'm trying to convince my colleagues that we should be developing against Firefox, we develop a linux appliance but only support IE as the web front-end, what's all that about? :)Emma Middlebrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17565479502725362379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110180.post-18408882011899891792006-11-28T01:30:00.000-08:002006-11-28T01:30:00.000-08:00Howard,

Most of the times I found that by making something work in Opera ensures at 90% that it will run flawlessly in IE and Firefox. Also most websites including Gmail and many MSN websites do support Opera these days.<br /><br />Henri.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
