Changes

Key:  Additions   Deletions
Two unfortunate facts all those who build website must face are (a) that each browser has its own characteristics, and (b) that website visitors will use whatever browser they want.

Browsers differ in three fundamental ways (warning: technogarble ahead!):

  • Basic features offered (example Opera offers a sophisticated built-in email program);
  • HTML rendering - how the page formatting language basic to all webpages is converted into a visible page;
  • Javascript features and performance.

The last two considerations particularly impact how well Wetpaint works in a browser.browser, so if you're having a problem and NOT using a recommended browser, a logical first response might be to switch browsers.

Recommended browsers:

  • Windows platform computers - MS IE7 (not 6) or Firefox.
  • MacIntosh computers - Firefox.
