links not working in firefox

Name: someguy 2009-02-04 18:35

hey /prog/,
I have a problem: my site www.matthaspictures.com dosent work in firefox. well, everything works except for the links in the tabs. they turn into plain old text and i dont know why. it works perfectly in IE, but has the same problem in safari.

I didnt use a page generator of any kind, hand coded the whole thing from scratch. any idea whats going on? thanks so much!

You need to use XHTML for that.

Well Matt, Firefox recognizes that your art is shit.

what do you mean?

Name: someguy 2009-02-04 19:49

i was lookin online and i read that it might be the z-index of my css div's. all the tabs that arent active are -100 in the z-index. would that affect my ability to click on links?

yeah, but what about html and css? they're rubbish langauges and you know it.

you can put XSLT in XHTML. XSLT is Turing complete and supported by every browser that isn't complete shit, and even some that are.

Don't worry matt, it is also fucked in chrome. Also, your art is shit.

You use the fucking center tag faggot. Don't be such a faggot.

Fact: <center> was created by communistsTM. It was originally designed for killing small children.

In all seriousness, you should really rewrite this page. It's horrid to say the least. Forcing people to only view in Internet Explorer 7 is not a good idea. (Despite IE being the browser with the biggest market share.) If say someone with Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc. come to check your site and see that it breaks in their browsers, they won't be too willing to launch IE just to see your site and you'll lose a lot of potential viewers this way.

Needs at least the following
a <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=environments.php"> on the home page
spellchecking
Better typography
Layout sensitive to user chosen text sizing

Better typography
holy fuck yes. that page looks like someone shat out a bunch of pixels and then smeared them around with their fingers to form letters.

Speaking of which, now that all the browsers support downloadable fonts, maybe it's time to start using them.

And by all the browsers I mean:
* Firefox 3.1 (not released yet)
* The next Chrome (not released yet)
* Opera 10 (still in preview)
* Safari (I think the current version already supports it, feels bad man)
* IE (since version 4 or so, but you have to convert your font and put an extra declaration for IE as usual)

Thanks Acid3! Not that it's really the final solution since font metrics are fucked anyway, you can count on length changing from browser to browser, OS to OS, and antialiasing settings to antialiasing settings. So much for "pixel-perfect layout". In b4 "fixed layout is evil", enjoy your text as images or Flash.

By the way TrueType/OpenType fonts can have hinting microcode embeeded. I wonder if it's Turing-complete.

Why don't you make your entire web page using only an SVG, tough guy?

Why the fuck would anyone care about FireFox. That shit is really fucking broken. Ever notice how setting the height of an element as a % doesn't fucking work correctly. That is some basic fucking fail. It might as well render red as blue if its going to get this basic shit wrong.

That's why the pros use www.opera.com

IHBT. I don't really do much web design but from experience retards complaining about seemingly trivial stuff being broken in decent browsers are doing it terribly wrong, that is, they are butthurt idiots that can't even manage to copy example code correctly.

Dear troll, maybe you're talking about "setting the height of an element as a %" as seen in http://www.positioniseverything.net/round-error.html ? Because it certainly renders correctly for me in Firefox (not to mention Firefox 3 has already fixed the rounding error that page is talking about).

www.opera.com always displays pages correctly. Firefox is the new IE

Actually, it's fitting that even the latest 10 preview of that shit that nobody uses manages to exhibit the very bug that page demonstrates.

User error. Resize your browser window.

No you fucking idiot. Setting the height of an element is trivial, your troll is 0/10.

If a parent element does not have a height explicitly set, then setting a child element height to a percent should render as auto. It should not allow you to set the height as a percent at all, as PER THE FUCKING SPEC FAGGOT. Look it up nigger.

FireFail is the only browser that sets the height, and this is not fucking correct. FireFail 3 continues this non-standard rendering.

Something as basic as height is not trivial faggot. Something as faggy as not following the standard which is very clear is fail. You retards enjoy the abortion of a browser that is made by Netscape and AOL.

if it is supposed to only render correctly at certain window sizes, where are those sizes documented?

Your outrage is not /prog/ quality. He's right, you know? I have to deal with FF's quirks all the goddam time. Don't even get me started with <HR>.
