Mozilla Rendering prob.

<< < (3/4) > >>

gnomez:
I probably won't be of any help solving these things since Mozilla (v 9.8) never gives me any of these kinds of problems.  (Although it did in Red Hat Linux - it would garble the text occasionally) I only run Mozilla when Konqueror fails to render a page correctly anyway (which almost never happens)  Konqueror sometimes will render a page a little differently than Mozilla but this is rarely a problem.

PS Does version 1 of Mozilla support AA fonts in Linux?  Also, is there a way to have konqueror use Mozilla' rendering engine instead of its own (like Galeon does in Gnome)

kinky:
i only use Konqueror3 for web browsing... but i went ahead and got mozilla just to test it for ya... and i cant get it to mess up at all... keeps loading things fine... though i perfer Konqueror3 so far...

Hell, I got alot of rendering errors with Mozilla. Lets not forget to mention that there are a bunch of sites that are incompatible with it.

Give me IE anyday. ;P

you still have yet to show me a website that does not work with mozilla. You posted a yahoo site, that worked fine in Mozilla and claimed that it didnt work. Please show me a site incompatible with Mozilla (and not one where someone put code to block Mozilla)

Calum:
you know what pisses me off at the moment?

hotmail.
It is perfectly compatible with mozilla, netscape and also i expect internet explorer, BUT if you go to hotmail they have got, not code to block mozilla, but code to block opera!! if i want to access hotmail (and actually my girlfriend does), then i need to set opera to identify as mozilla. Once i do that, fine. this means opera CAN view hotmail, but the bastards won't allow you to do so. Of course this is not a problem for the rank and file since Opera STILL identifies as IE by default!

Another thing... (sorry! windows guff again, just had a total winmeltdown so i have only been using win for a few days trying to get it up and running again), I can't be arsed waiting for mozilla to download, so i installed netscape 4.08 and 4.78. Both are shit and fail to work after about ten minutes. I have used IEradicator to remove IE from my computer, and PurgeIE to clean up any remnant cookies et c, BUT in desperation i typed in a URL to the address bar of windows explorer (the shell in WinME, may not work in other versions) and lo and behold! Internet Explorer in all its infamy! EXPLORER.EXE contains all the code for internet explorer it seems! so why bother having IE at all? and most importantly i suppose i can't get rid of it now?
Anyway i downloaded lynx, opera 6, and OffByOne (another browser) using EXPLORER.EXE which i think is ludicrous.
 
Now that i have got mandrake it should only be a matter of time......... (so long as i can get my SiS 630 modem and video card working...)

Calum:
can you read? i used 98lite.net's FREE software to remove internet explorer, did you miss that bit?

THEN i used explorer.exe to view internet web pages from remote machines. All that stuff you told me i wasn't able to get was there, right down to the little internet explorer icon and the words 'Internet Explorer' in the toolbar. I might add i did it all while having a jpeg as my desktop wallpaper.

With regards to your IE4 comment, i may reiterate that i am using WinME, not that it makes any difference as it is just win98 3rd edition under the hood.

What i am saying is that everything you just said is total rubbish, and i know because i just did al that stuff. Not only that, i told you i did all that stuff BEFORE you posted that drivel, so why did you bother?

I suppose your next move will be to claim i couldn't possibly have uninstalled IE, well i DID!
Some of its directories still exist, like the Temporary Internet Files but they are empty (no, they don't contain any hidden files). So EXPLORER.EXE is doing all the work. ipso facto, it contains all the code for internet explorer. I would be happier if it didn't though.

Perhaps i can use the shell from win95 instead? Does anybody know if this is possible?
