Hey all ...
Ive just discovered Mozilla firebird and find it amazing, making it my default browser already, but, it has pointed out a problem with my site I am unaware of. Ive noticed that when loading some pages, such as the 'free stuff' section, it takes a refresh to display properly otherwise content just runs out of the tables, anyone know why this is happening and how to solve it?
Thanks
Impressive work there TRShady. I use MyIE2 which works out to be excellent for me. Reason i use is because it is based on IE's rendering engine so most of he sites work. (apart from usual tab interface and awesome plugin's)
You have to check how Firebird handles different html codes. According to that you might need to change few things. But if it displays correctly after refreshing then the code should be right. Maybe its just at your side?
Can anyone else with Firebird confirm this is happening?
Thanks I.am, I'll try myIE2, just cant believe I've used IE for so long. Really do think the alternatives weren't worth bothering with. The best example of the problem I'm having is probably
this page and I'd appreciate others who use firebird testing this and telling me whether or not the text runs of the page and how to fix it....
Cheers. :)
Unlike IE, the Firebird engine is based on Gecko, which is fully W3C compliant. If you are getting rendering errors, it is because the webmaster is a poor coder.
That didn't help me much, lol ... I asked if the problem is happening to anyone else, whether anyone has a solution, or why it works after a refresh.
Being called a poor coder doesn't help much :blink:
Your site isnt opening TRshady. I dont think its a problem at coding site as refreshing brings everything in.
ps: Can you post a screenshot when the tables arent aligned and a screenshot after refreshing.
Your site displays fine in Firebird, Thunderbird, Konqueror, Opera, Netscape, IE, Lynx, and any other DOM browser.
Thanks for the replies, and for testing my site Haxor :)
My site just went down for about 10mins which explains why it didn't show up, I'll get some screenshots now .....
Here is how a page looks in mozilla:

But after a refresh, everything is displayed right.....
i had the same prob back in ie4, try using %'s on the table widths, worked for me :confused:
Would do ... but I want it a certain size so it fits better with the design. I'll have a play about. :)
<Bump> ,.... anyone to point out the problem in my code which is causing this? :(
(btw, does mozilla require installtion? ... I just downloaded, unzipped andlaunched the app ) :blink:
Firebird is a zip file that doesn't require installation.
With Mozilla you download the installer.
ok, thanks for clearing that up :)
Any idea why my site displays as such in firebird, though a refresh solves this? :huh:
I wouldn't know, as your page is looking just fine in Firebird. It's also XHTML 1.0 Transitional. :D
I used to have a problem similar to this, for some reason my DHTML menus didn't show the last item until a refresh. That was quickly fixed by adding one more item at ('screen.width+1','screen.height+1').
Thanks for the reply ....
(So could you say what change I could make in order to resolve the prob please? ....)
Me quite unsure :(
Thanks
You site works fine here with Firebird 0.7 ;)
Could it possibly be your screen resolution?
Im using 0.7 too ... wont be too bad if its just me then :P
The resolution im using is 1240x1024, ill change down though and see if it makes a difference.
