Getting better some of the time

Thu, 15 Jan 2004

Screenshot of Firebird It looks like Internet Explorer is getting better. To the right is a screenshot of what my site looks like in a fully standards-compliant browser, namely Firebird. Below is what it looks like in Internet Explorer. Much to my surprise, IE6 now appears to support the display:inline property-value combination, which I use to format some of my site-navigation links. Unfortunately it does not (yet?) support content generation, which means that the separating punctuation does not appear, but I can cope with that.

IE still doesn't support <q>.

This seems like a good time to tell you: I finally tried Firebird. Not bad at all. I still prefer Opera, mind you (except for its recent penchant for crashing, but that's probably due to my weird-acting Windows ME; fortunately, Opera has built-in crash-protection). Firebird seems to render as well as Opera, but is slightly slower loading pages; although, it is much faster than the full-scale Mozilla, as you once predicted. I may have to try out Mozilla's stand-alone email client (Thunderbird?) next.
