Display Differences in FireFox / IE6
by Rob Doe » Tue, 25 Nov 2008 20:56:35 GMT
Hey,
I have an example in front of me that I built with Flex Builder 3 in Eclipse,
and when I open it in Firefox it looks just fine, but in IE6 it shows
differences in the rendering.
Is that theoretically possible, does Adobe Flash install different plugins (of
the same version) in different browsers, or "does it have to be a glitch on my
side" ?
tia for your thoughts & experiences,
Robert

It would be nice if you would post a link so the rest of us could "see" the differences in our browsers, FF and IE.

Yes, we'd need to see it. This is not really possible. Flash should render the
content identically, regardless of the browser, unless...
1) Check which version of the Flash Player you are targeting in your
application (under "Flex Compiler"). Hopefully, at least version 9.
2) Are the fonts looking different on different machines? Embed them so they
look the same everywhere.
3) Is it merely your app's position in the html page? This could look
different if the app is not taking up the entire screen. It's position would
then be entirely dependent on your HTML page's code, and then subject to
browser interpretation.

Hello Group,
I am developing a web site using CSS. I have a div that has a vert
scroll bar in it. The div works just fine (scroll up and down, etc).
I have regular text (using <p> tags) in the div, as well as an
unordered list - with 3 or 4 list items. The display of text in the
scroller div is just fine in firefox.
When I look at the same page using IE 6 - my li text is larger (font
size) than the text in the <p> tags.
this happens only with ie 6. Is there some sort of "fix" that will
allow ie to have the same text display as firefox??? In my css i do
have this: but I think it just deals with the width of my divs (I
hope).
this is from my secondary css file
* html div#mainContent {
/* value for ie browsers width was 310*/
width: 310px;
/* value for MAC IE browsers */
w\idth: 290px;
}
I am using two css files, and a few lines of css in the document in
question.
I have this code in my "top" css file:
html > body {font-size:small;}
I believe the rest of my css is "ok" since what I am doing is not
exotic - but I must be missing something between IE and Firefox.
Any suggestions,
Thanks,

3.Firefox vs. IE Display Differences
I have web pages that look good in Firefox, Mozilla, and Netscape. However with
IE 6.0 there is a slight difference. I have form with a 3 column, 1 row that is
being used a search routine and this form is positioned into a navigation menu.
All looks fine and the same for Firefox, Mozilla, and Netscape. However with
IE, the form seems to be about 5 px lower. Any ideas?
