Firefox vs. Internet Explorer
I prefer Firefox to the Internet Explorer for several reasons which I will not be listing here today.
This post is merely a quick information to all my visitors to compare what they are missing when not using Firefox.
I had to create a whole new template and stylesheets for my Internet Explorer audience, because the one working for Firefox was causing troubles -layout wise- for IE.
The main difference is actually merely the menu. On Firefox it renders on the top and looks cool, while Internet Explorer users will have it on the left hand-side. Still cool, but not as fancy and smooth (I find).
Click either the Firefox logo or the Internet Explorer logo to see a screenshot of the h4×3d.com mainsite in the browser.
Enjoy.
One cool thing, is that Linux browsers seem to like my layout. Nothing breaks so far. If you have trouble with the layout, please leave a comment.
People asked me to put up a donate button or something similar, so here it is: if you care to buy me a beer or Red Bull (I drink the Dutch equivalent called Spam Energy), feel free to donate, anything is appreciated!

true, I noted that Firefox represented 35% of access, up from 19% the year before, and that IE was down from 75 to 54%.

Firefox is growing indeed, as your stats illustrate as well. I believe it is due to the overwhelming amount of free extensions and modifications that make Firefox so easy to use. Firefox’s usability is ten times the one of Internet Explorer (7.0).

Well, I think that IE7 shows the menu the way it should be and IMO it looks better in this browser.
I am FireFox user but in this case IE7 beets FF.
Don’t you think?

I’m checking this page with Safari.
You should check it too, Jez.
The menu is overlapping your sidebar on the right hand side.

i’m sick of the “browser war”. on my pc (yeah, i wish it was a mac!) i run firefox, ie, opera, and safari (now apple have made it available) and test anything i develop in all. i don’t find it hard to make a cross-browser site. i don’t use javascript, so that does make it easier, but if the html and css are written right, it is quite easy in my eyes. disagree if you wish.

I’m viewing your site wit IE7 now and your script recognizes it, but why I see part of the script:
<![endif]–>
The email and website fields of the comment form use white font color which is a problem when using Google Toolbar and the fields are yellow.

hey truden,
yeah I saw that end thing as well. It was kind of an experiment. I think it shows because it is within the blog post. in the right sidebar it works correctly.
for the yellow comment thing – my girlfriend reported that as well, do you have an idea how to fix it?
thank you again for your bughunt!

Blue letters in the comment form fields will solve the problem out.
You don’t have much choice with the colors in this case.
You can also use the hover color of your textarea border.

Much better :D
No need to thank me.
I saved you a little time until you come to the solution yourself.
