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.
