How Browsers Affect your Experience The challenge of getting one's webpages to work in all browsers is daunting. With complex, dynamic, database-supported, software-driven websites such as those offered by Wetpaint.com, it simply isn't possible for websites to work equally well in all browsers. - Browsers differ in several fundamental ways (Warning: Technogarble Ahead!): Basic Features Offered (Example, the Opera browser offers a sophisticated built-in email program); HTML Processing - How the page formatting language basic to all webpages is converted into a visible page; CSS (cascading style sheet) rendering - CSS defines a page's layout. It's what gives a site it's "look and feel." Though there technically is a standard for how to render CSS, some browsers (notably Microsoft Internet Explorer) do not adhere to the standard. This makes it very difficult to make a page look good and function well on all browsers. JavaScript features and performance (JavaScript, a programming language, is built into most modern browsers, but how it is interpreted varies a bit from browser to browser). The last three considerations particularly impact how well Wetpaint works in a browser.	Other requirements Flash Installed All computers need the most up-to-date version of Adobe Flash to access some features: (Note: This plug-in will only install on a 32-bit browser, if you use a 64-bit system then you will need to install a 32-bit browser) http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ - JavaScript Enabled Many features that Wetpaint uses requires that JavaScript is enabled in your browser settings. - Cookies Enabled Cookies are small files that are stored on your computer by a web site to give you a unique identification.

Q & A

Q. How do I find out what browser I'm currently using?

A. At the top of your browser you should see a menu option marked "Help". If you click on Help you should see "About (browser name)". Here's an example:

Q. I keep getting a clipboard message when trying to edit my page. Why is that?

A. It's a security warning setting that can be changed in Internet Explorer. Here's the fix:

1. At the top of the Internet Explorer window click Tools, then Internet Options.
2. Click the Security tab.
3. Under Select a Web content zone to specify its security settings, click Internet.
4. Click Custom Level.
5. In the Scripting section, under Allow paste operations via script, click Enable.
6. Click OK.
That should do it.

Q. Why can't I use Safari on Wetpaint?

A. Currently, Wetpaint is not able to fully support the Safari browser. When using Safari on Wetpaint, some features will work and others will not. Wetpaint has been working diligently to find solutions for the features that are not currently supported by Safari. We have filed bugs and sent letters to the good people at Apple and the Safari team, but unfortunately we have not received the support we need from them as of yet. We are constantly improving Wetpaint, and we will continue to reevaluate and work towards offering full browser support for Safari users.

In the meantime, if you’re using a Mac, we recommend that you use the Firefox browser. You can download it for free at www.mozilla.com.

I am trying to set up my first Wiki. When I get to wetpaint.com/wiki/fun, there is no picture of characters,
so I can’t type in the characters that would prevent automated programs from creating a site. (It is blank next to "Enter the characters in the picture.") Help please.

Do you find this valuable?
