(WARNING: It is entirely possible that this post will put you to sleep. Don't say I didn't warn you.)
As I plow through my web development book, I am constantly reminded to test my pages in a web browser, more importantly, in multiple browsers. As I am reminded:
e people use whatever browser is available, and some are passionate about their personal favorite. Personally, I'm a bit of a Mozilla Firefox snob (you've gotta love that cute little fox), so much so that I was appalled in September when I realized that my blog didn't display very well in Internet Explorer. I rarely use it, so I hadn't noticed. I went in and tweaked the
template a little until I was satisfied. Conversely, when I was trying to find information about our county fair on the city's website, I found that the pages about the fair were a jumble of code. On a whim, I tested the pages and found that they worked in Internet Explorer (shouldn't they have caught that one instead of me?).
I confess to having no experience or opinion concerning Opera or Safari.
Even if this is a meaningless discussion for you, please be a sport and let me know what browser you use:

Done here, too. Internet Explorer, but only because most of what you just said is Greek to me. :-)
Internet Explorer here also...and you didn't bore me at all. In fact, I have asked Jay to get me some books on HTML/etc for Christmas. Any suggestions?

No IE here except for dh. I am currently using Firefox and like it quite well. My favorite though is Opera - I love the built in email program. I switched a few weeks ago because too many sites didn't allow me to use Opera. I am thinking of going back. I highly recommend it.
