Most popular browser here?
I, personally, use Mozilla Firefox, always have, and hopefully will continue as long as they improve their software.
I've tried out Opera in the past, lackluster at best. IE and the recent IE7 is a joke in my eyes. Netscape isn't even a contender. What about you guys? |

Here are some stats that recorded the browser hits to one of my new sites after a month or so of air time. This cut compares IE hits vs. Firefox hits. As you can see, IE is apparently far more popular than Firefox.
As for my personal opinions, I have perspectives to offer. For a user, I commonly use IE myself. It has a few glitches every now and then, but it certainly does what I need it to do. Firefox works great too. From a webmaster's perspective, Firefox is an obnoxious, picky, stubborn piece of s**t. I like making my pages look JUST right. When I get my pages looking like works of art in IE, it is almost certain Firefox will have a problem with it somewhere. This is also true in the reverse in cases where I work on pages in Firefox and later view them in IE. Those two browsers just can't agree. Personally, I give priority to the more popular browser.

I know what you mean. If there's one thing I can't STAND, it's having to code pages that dynamically shift a little in order to accomodate both popular browsers. It's a real pain, but I guess that's something we have to live with. We'll never get Mozilla and Microsoft to agree.

As this is a community website, that type of avatar may be considered inappropriate. I would advise changing it.

The browser "problem" is that IE is very forgiving of code errors, Firefox is not. So if you view something that looks good in IE but then is messed up in Firefox, then there's an error in your code or at the very least, it's not W3C compliant

I like using fieldsets on some objects on my site because the LEGEND tag looks great as a generic block header. You can probably tell that vBulletin uses them too for the same reason. In IE, a fieldset is treated as a block object, so the fieldset block will adjust in height and width to make room for whatever is inside it if the content is bigger than the established fieldset width. In Firefox, however, when you set the width of a fieldset, the block STAYS at that exact width. Now what happens if your content gets too big for the block? The content actually span across the fieldset's border and hang out. Some could call this a programming error, but unexpected lengths of data happen in dynamic programming all the time.
