Web development nightmares

, ,

I've noticed the LiquoricePlayer web page looks quite broken in IE7/IE8 sad
I thought i fixed it a couple of days ago, but then i touched something and it's suddenly all ruined again. Sigh! It's always the same nightmare with that browser. It works perfect in all other browsers.. Except for RGBA support missing in Opera 9.50 (no dark box in the menu), and text-shadow support missing in Firefox (no glow around hovered links). WinGogi has both though smile

The WebUI in LiquoricePlayer isn't working with IE either. I gave that up almost immediately because i didn't have time to fix it. It works fine with Opera, Firefox and Safari though!

LiquoricePlayer is released!Blog, Spaghetti and Marshmallows...

you mean the screenshot span's? adding float:left should make it look better in IE smile

Thanks for the tip! smile
It made it consistent in all browsers, but the following line started to misalign. I ended up using inline-block instead (which doesn't work in ff 2 but that doesn't matter much anymore anyway).

Can you tell how many people are downloading your program?

Emil Segeråsfruxo Thursday, July 3, 2008 7:20:45 PM

Only around 100 so far i think.
There isn't much people knowing it exists yet! I've posted it to some downloading sites now so more and more people will see it.
I have some other ideas to spread it too, which i will try. So i hope it will get going eventually smile

100 in one week seems pretty good to me!!

Have you tried downgrading the doctype to HTML?

Emil Segeråsfruxo Saturday, November 29, 2008 9:43:26 AM

Hmm. I thought i did use only HTML as doctype. Must have changed it back at some point. I don't remember why confused
I will try that again next time i do an update to the page.

With a quick look I guess the page should not validate for xhtml so the current doctype is pointless.

What problems are you meeting exactly with IE?
