MHolzer Report post Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) With Johanna's help we have a web site www.brewersaddles.com Still have more to do on it. Steve Weird. In Firefox, Chrome and Safari I'm only seeing HTML. It looks fine in IE. :wtf: Ah it's frontpage, go figure. But also, it's a good start! Any web presence is better than no web presence!

gtwister09 Report post Posted March 2, 2009 Frontpage regularly produces non-standard HTML and generally uses Microsoft specific extensions. Many people prefer other, more compliant editors or some just code by hand using a text editor. Instead of checking the browser type and rendering different code for each browser, standards compliant code should work in all compliant browsers, give or take a couple of browser quirks. From a code-maintenance perspective, FrontPage makes some really nasty and convoluted code. Code maintenance and browser viewing issues were the reason that Microsoft has scrapped it for a newer tool, Expression Web/Studio. I haven't used these newer Microsoft tools but you could most likely look up reviews of them on Google. One suggestion I would have is to have the code "validated" to ensure that it complies with HTML standards. Doing so means that it should look the same in any browser (IE, FireFox, Opera, Chrome, Safari,etc). If you do a search on the web, you should be able to find several sites that have online validation scripts. Here's one that is run by the Web Design Group. Web Design Group Validator Here's the information that it kicked out. Brewer_Saddle_errors.txt For more on why validation makes sense, check this out. It gives a few quick and dirty reasons.

Chris Until they make changes to their site, you will be REQUIRED to view with Internet Explorer. It is your only choice. Regards, Ben Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hidepounder Report post Posted March 2, 2009 Steve, I'm jealous...website looks great! Can't wait to see it finished. Now how about some background on you, pics of the ranch and country. I think future clients should know that you are an experienced hand, applying your cowboying and horsemanship experience to build better saddles for other experienced hands!

Johanna Report post Posted March 2, 2009 Have you seen the errors that it kicks out when you feed it this page we're on now? A lot of those "errors" are from the forum's skin. Some of the other "errors" are from the mods to the board (like the hover preview and showing members online). I don't know what the rest of the problems it flags are, but the forum seems to work okay for all the different browsers. Incidentally, more than 85% of our viewers are using IE. Firefox is next, and Macs come in at less than 2%. Johanna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I built my entire site with FrontPage, so it may be just trash to any browser other than IE. Back when I started the site, some of the other browsers weren't around yet, and I haven't ever looked at it with any of them....
