== Firefox "problems" == | |||
Hiya :) Thanks for your questions. I'm gonna try to answer which ones I can, but there are some for which I need more visual evidence from you. My general thoughts, though, are that you seem to be citing an awful lot of examples from the [[series 6 (Doctor Who)]] page. Please remember that this is an extremely high traffic page which attracts the attention of people with various levels of skill at coding things. You should in general not expect things to look "right" on this page, as people tend to markup this page with "what works for them" rather than using the MediaWiki language with skill. Don't use this page, in other words, to judge whether your browser is "working". That said, here are my responses: | |||
*The guest cast table is the laziest damn piece of table-making I've ever seen. I'm sure Google Chrome doesn't recognize the border, because it's only defined with a single character — %. Firefox accepts that laziness, but other browsers don't. Nothing's "wrong" with Firefox, ''per se''. It's just accepting a value of "%", where other browsers don't. If you take away the '''border = "%"''' then you won't see a border in Firefox. Conversely, if you define it sensibly with an actual numeric value, line thickness, and line type — then Chrome (and every browser) ''will'' see it. | |||
*I'm not seeing that the episode table on this page runs episodes 10 and 11 together so they appear as a two parter. The code in this area seems sound. Could you take a screenshot to show me what you're talking about? | |||
*I'm unfamiliar with any "aliens and enemies of series x pages" that put a list into columns. The template pages don't generally use columns, and those are the only "aliens and enemies of series x pages" of which I'm aware. Could you provide me with links to the pages that are giving you grief? (I will say, however, that if you're talking about the pages in the category [[:category:Aliens Navigation templates]] — don't worry, they're all being ''completely'' recoded within the next few days. | |||
Final thought for now: You ''are'' going to find that the wiki looks slightly different in Firefox. It looks different in ''every'' browser. But the areas that you see differently are particularly important to note and screenshoot. Such observations are ''invaluable'' (to me, anyway) as they help identify which coding practices are cross-platform compatible, and which are not. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''12:51:45 Sat '''26 Mar 2011 </span> | |||
