Cyrus check out one of the awesome fully text editors such as Edit Plus, Ultra Edit, or Note tab.  Sometimes they have a preview mode.

And as a point of reference IE has so many things wrong with it that you shouldn\'t be basing your code on IE\'s way of doing things.  Choose Dreamweaver if you have to.

On that subject, have you guys been reading the official IE7 blog?  The beta is supposed to fix A LOT of things.  Most of which are 5-year old updates that MS has refused to implement.  What a pain.

I kind of wish everyone used firefox as the norm.  The only complaint I have about it is the way it shows table borders.. other than that, my designs always look perfect on firefox and I have to jack around with it to make it look the way I want it to on IE

Yes IE has so many things wrong with it BUT YOU SHOULD use it as a point of reference..

Even with the recent influx of people switching to Firefox or alternative browsers I would venture to say that IE still holds 70 percent of the market AT LEAST... and when I say 70 percent out of that 70 percent I would say that 90 percent of them are your "basic" users the kind that actually come to your website. How can you not build for it if? You dont want to loose that many visitors due to crapy site design.

Now maybe Im differnt because I build mostly commerical stuff with extremly high visiotr percentage wait let me get a stat.

Ok one of my sites had 5263 unique visitors so far this month out of those visitors 90.2 % were IE and 4.7 % were firefox. How can you not build for it?

btw MP out of those visitors only 2 % were mac users :bounce:

Yes it\'s a crying shame that 80% of web users use the absolute worst web browser available, I know first-hand what a PITA it is.  IE doesn\'t support PNG alpha tranparency, the :hover class over 100% of elements, position:fixed, and a whole other myriad of glitches that happen when you don\'t adopt 5-year old W3C standards.

As for coding it just depends on the designer.  I like to know what I created was made the right way and is not some funky sh!t that IE likes.  I usually design in Edit Plus or KWrite, see how it looks in Firefox/Konqueror, then go on to IE to clean up any little crap I see. :(

I kind of do that backwards.  I design and make it look as best as I can on IE, and it usually looks perfect on firefox.

Actually...that was after I gave up trying to figure out how to put an image with the scrolling marquee, which I\'ve never done before because it looks tacky as all holy f*ck on a webpage.

I have three areas in this Web that I want to remain the same, the “banner”, “contents” and footer areas will appear on every page and if I change say the banner area, I do not want to change it on every page. Frames came to mind, but it doesn’t seem practical. Attached is a small jpg of my “Web concept “the highlighted areas are the areas that I want to be able to change on every page simultaneously.



thanks again
