Different Browsers - Different View!

I use Opera for my browser.

The most popular browser, at this time, is Microsoft's Internet Explorer.

Some members view their Internet sites by way of Netscape or Mozilla Firefox browsers.

"Creative HTML Tagging" is viewed differently by each browser! What your message, announcement or reply at eons looks like to you is NOT necessarily the view other members have of the same post!

The marquee tag is one example where Internet Explorer users see one thing, Firefox sees another, Opera yet another, and Netscape doesn't recognize the marquee tag at all!

If you intend to use HTML in a document OUTSIDE of eons...such as your own website...you should really download each of the four popular browsers...you can then see how each individual browser "reads" your HTML tags and, thus, how the user sees your images, text, layout, etc.

So...when using HTML in your eons posts, keep the different browser views in mind.

The majority of HTML tags you will place in eons posts will be true tags (ie; underline, bold, links, etc.) and each of the four major browsers will view them pretty much the same.

Lee, I use a Flock Browser when I'm on EONS, because of the ease in using it's drag and drop tech. in conjunction with Photobucket. My question is does it see HTML the same as Firefox? I tried Firefox, but I have Vista and Firefox caused my puter to go into convulsions, etc. till I got rid of it!!

Hi I use AT&t yahoo browser (its fast) for most of my web surfing altho I use the Internet Explorer for my eons (its slow). The reason being at the bottom of my Explorer page is a way to customize the view. My Eons is too big for my screen so I have to customize down to 80%.
Is there an easier way, something I need to "check" or box that needs to be checked in my advanced settings?

"My question is does it see HTML the same as Firefox?"
-------------------
The Flock browser claims to use the same open code technology as Firefox. Flock's co-founder and Chief Executive is Bart Decrem, the same man who, along with some engineering buddies, created and popularized the Firefox browser.

The Flock browser has only been around since last spring. Since this new browser is actually based on the Mozilla core, just like Firefox, it's available to users of all platforms that currently use Firefox and will render pages almost identically. It is more of an extension of Firefox than competition. A comparison can be seen in the Shiira browser, which amounts to a 're-branding' of the core elements comprising Apple's Safari browser; the only difference is in the interface.

The answer? All indications point to the Flock browser viewing HTML tags exactly as Firefox...however, that IS an assumption. Maybe I'll download Flock and check it out.

If you plan on assisting other members in performing HTML functions, it is highly recommended that you download and test your suggestions with each browser so that you can see how your suggestions pan out across differing browser platforms.

Click on the browser icons above for download information.

Of course, all browsers are free (Opera used to actually charge for their browser!).

Thanks for posting this info about the different browsers; Now many of us will understand why it looks different from one browser to the other.
