Changes

Key:  Additions   Deletions
Two unfortunate facts allface those who build website must face arewebsites: (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, 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.
