HTML - Ie Browser

I was wondering on the board's opinion. Basically, the ALTtext element used in image display, provides two things:

1. Replacement text if the image should be abscent so that you can easily reference which image is missing and replace it.

2. Mouseover text of the image so surfers can get short extra information about the image.

Now, you may argue that a Browser should come set as default to ignore mouseover text. However, there is a reason why many web developers still use this in preference to an image title.

The reason being that it is extra programming for the developer to type out additional code which merely plays the same role as the original Alt attribute.

Some argue that the programmer shouldn't even give an Alt value! Sadly, in turn many browsers are unfortunately becoming designed without the Alt text attribute, making many Alt-text-specific sites hard to understand.

If you honestly find a small bit of mouseover text which really only exists for a fraction of a second intrusive of your surfing time then you've got issues.

Who agrees?

I'm almost done with my new website's main template. Now, the only thing that remains is that my website looks exactly how I want it in IE and total crap in Firefox. I was wondering if anyone could help me out/figure out what's going on. The URL is www.smbmovie.com...

This page looks exactly like I want it to in Firefox but not in ie6 or ie7. In ie6 the fieldsets are different heights but I want them to be the same (as in firefox) and in ie7 some of the submit buttons are hidden. Can someone help me with this?

Thanks...

Hi, am wondering if any one can help me. OK in Netscape I have this in my source:
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Author" CONTENT="Firewalker75.com, http://www.firewalker75.com/index/fw_100.jpg">

to see what I mean go to my site:
http://ww.firewalker75.com
you will see my logo in the browser with the addy


It doesn't work in IE, I have the lastest version, hoe do I edit above so it shows in IE as well. I think it is html or is it script.
Sorry a newbie on this

Thanks Firewalker

Hi,

Is there a way I can not show all the url in the browser window. for instance when showing a links page, instead of the address being

"http://www.webspace.co.uk/links.htm" could it just be "http://www.webspace.co.uk

I have seen this done but not sure how.

Thanks

Simon

I just changed the logo for a site and now because the width and height dimensions are different from the old one the logo will look skewed to old customers coming to the site without refreshing their browsers. How do I solve this problem?

Ok my runescape site looks fine in Mozilla and IE6, but I have two members using IE7 that are getting this:

Just wondering what the "hack" is for IE7 to get this to align right.

The site is as follows:

Hey,
I've just put my website back online,
but I've got a lil' problem.
My website shows everything perfectly when using Internet Explorer,
but when openend with Firefox and others, most of the site doesn't appear as it should, pictures missing etc, is there anything I can do about this?, If so pretty please tell me!

Greets, Brenda

I want to make a mobile phone version of my website.

Does anybody know how I can get my index page to ind out what type of browser/device the visitor is using?

i.e. if the visitor is browsing using a mobile phone I want them to be redirected to mysite.com/mobileversion/index.htm

Can this be done?

Leroy

Hi all,

I notice that on some websites when you minimize and maximize the window, the content on the site displays differently. For example if i reduce the browser window on this website - all content is still displayed as if it were open in a fully maximised window.

What is this called? and
How do you do it??

Cheers
Raggy

Hello all,

I have a strange problem I don't know how to fix. My page is showing up just as it should in Firefox, but when I look at the same exact page in Internet Explorer, the buttons below the slideshow don't appear.

I figured out, however that when you look at the page in Internet Explorer and hold on to the ctrl key and roll the wheel on the mouse, then the buttons appear all of a sudden as if they have been hiding behind the slideshow, but they aren't there when I move it to check.

The page is http://www.idea-palette.com/testfolder/pagetest2.html

Can anyone help me figure this out please?
