Which browser are you using?

Many times we get questions where we don't know which browser you are viewing the page in. Other times it's said they are viewing in IE but there are lots of versions of IE. Especially in this transitional period of going from IE6 to IE7, where there are many significant differences between the two, we need you to be specific as to which browser you are having the problem in.

Another point to make is are you testing your page in more than one browser? If you see a problem in IE6, it tells us something if you don't see it in Firefox or Opera. It tells us something else if the problem is in Opera but not IE6.

If you are not initially testing your page in Firefox or Opera, then you should start. Both are the most web standards compliant browsers right now and have excellent resources for testing and debugging markup and code. If your code works in either of those, and the page validates in both html and css, then you can be reasonably sure the page should work in all other browsers.

I have a web page that uses an unordered list (<UL>) and the LH (list header) tag. I know LH is a valid tag because it is clearly defined by the W3C here: http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html3/bulletlists.html The problem is, when I try to validate the page at W3C, it tells me: " element "LH" undefined " My page is 4.01 Transitional, using charset windows-1252. Any ideas why this won't validate?

Hi, I am working on a dotnet url rewriting mechanism that has to be able to deal with urls containing non-standard characters, eg http://www.mysite.com/Télécharger. The problem is that some browsers will encode this url using utf8 & some using ISO 8859 (I *think* those are the only two possibilities). For ISO 8859 I can use the built-in UrlDecode function, for utf8 I am using a function I found on Google groups:

I am looking into the different techniques of handling arrays of edit boxes in Java Script. The first program below works fine. However, are there better ways of doing this, where the person writing the JavaScript doesn't have to pass the index in the "onChange" event name. I thought that one might be able to use "this.value" or compare this as

I am writing a piece of code for an ASP.NET function that generates an onKeyPress JavaScript eventhandler that uses the event.keyCode / event.which properties. I have two situations that I would appreciate any advice on: 1. I know that IE uses event.keyCode to get the key pressed. I have, however, seen sites that some versions of Netscape use event.which and some versions use event.keyCode. Does anyone know of a site that lists which one...

Which is the better approach in working with Javascript? 1. Server side processing: Web server gets form input, runs it into the Javascript module, and PHP collects the output for document prep. 2. Client side processing: Web server gets form input and passes it to PHP which includes the Javascript written in a way to make the form input processed on the client side and rendered (probably using DOM function calls) on that side as...

How do we get out of the browser infinite loop quicksand when we navigate to web pages designed to lock us in and force us to hit the "pay me" button (whatever they want to force you to do)?

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
