Hi Everyone,
I created my website with extremely simple HTML coding. I aimed at having the website accessible to even really old browsers, to make it as accessible to everyone as possible, even those without the newer versions and browsers (with some exceptions where absolutely necessary).
If you wish to see what I mean by simple and everything, my website is
http://workmenforChrist.org
However, after all this time, I truly am tired of all the trouble when updating and such, with having to go to every page to change the code if I mess with the sidebar, among other irritations with keeping it up to date. I'm sure you all know what I mean.
Now however, I'm highly considering switching to use CSS to make things much easier. I've held off on that all this time though because of all sorts of things I've heard of how it isn't read right in certain browsers and such. That's not good.
I hear mostly from problems with Firefox though. My questions are:
Is there a list of browsers that have problems with properly coded CSS?
What exactly are the problems, and the chances of my site experiencing them? (I am keeping things simple even with CSS and everything. Exactly the same look and everything, just with CSS coding now.)
My main concern is that the website will become unreadable by the text overlapping and such (the placement CSS not registering properly); would that be an issue with any of the troublesome browsers?
To beat the last question, I figure if necessary I could just continue to use the dreaded table for the layout (as I use now), and just use CSS for the other things. Tables for the layout, while perhaps making the page load a bit slower than CSS coding, are somewhat safe though across nearly every browser, right? But, again, if placement errors do not occur in these browsers that don't like CSS, I'd just use CSS for that too. My main concern is readability for my website. I don't want the body, to overlap the sidebar and all that.
Any and all help with these answers, is appreciated! Any advice would be GREATLY helpful (as I'm just starting to look into CSS and know little about it)!
I thank you all in advance for your help . . .
PS - If you looked at my code, or looked to validate it and everything, yes it's cluttered and I know I missed some errors when fixing them a long time ago. But that'll all be dealt with as I clean up with CSS.
