Quote - Williamsn is correct -- the html editors out there that Renderosity can use for commercial purposes all essentially rely on built in capabilities of the browsers themselves, typically via javascript.
Opera, Safari, and most other browsers outside of the Mozilla/IE grouping simply have no ability to support these editors. Nor are they likely to.
That's simply not true. If Opera works with DAZ on phpBB and their editor, and works with CG Talk on vBulletin and their editor, then the problem is not in Opera but in Renderosity code. Incidentally, CG Talk uses the same "function MM_findObj" call (from Dreamweaver, IINW) as Renderosity. The difference is they use version 4.01, and Renderosity uses version 3.0.
And testing a site of this complexity on TWO browsers is lame, completely lame. Especially so because anything works in Explorer.
If you're wondering what am I talking about, Firefox is Mozilla, and Netscape uses Mozilla and Explorer engines. Two engines - two browsers.
Quote - Incidentally, wait until IE7, which already has several fixes for well known CSS/HTML issues that IE6- was buggy as all get out about. And adds support for more stuff, which, incidentally, will require changes to all the CSS pages already being used.
That's hitting the internet in full this fall (about, oh, 6 months from now). Right about the same time that use of the
This fall? You wish. :biggrin: They are constantly pushing the release dates.
Okay, IE7 may have fixed lots of bugs present in previous versions, but it introduced new ones and hasn't fixed some of the old ones, like the DIV backgrounds.
Incidentally, this site is completely... no I won't say it. I just opened this forum in Explorer 7, saw some browser sniffing and was rejected. Explorer 7 doesn't have the editor, either.
Hell and damnation. Please, remove browser sniffing and leave browsers to do what they can do. We don't need such lame tricks.
