Fixing Internet Explorer

by Ryan Parman • January 14, 2004 • Browsers • 4 comments

I came across Geek Aggregator through a link from Twenty4.org. The posting is by someone who is involved somehow with the IE/Win development team. The question asks: What do you want from the Internet Explorer team? Here’s what a list of what I put. Feel free to add your comments as well, as I’m interested [...]


Support the Standards or the Browser?

by Ryan Parman • January 6, 2004 • Browsers, Creating Websites • 7 comments

Dave Shea recently asked, Support the standards and nothing but the standards, regardless of whether or not browsers get them right? – or – Support what standards are available given today’s browser support, and kludge together markup/script/CSS hacks to overcome deficiencies in implementations? I am all-for the extensive use of web standards. Anyone who’s talked [...]


Wierd IE Rendering Bug Fixed

by Ryan Parman • December 10, 2003 • Browsers, Code, Software, Website • 2 comments

Last summer, I posted about a strange problem I was having in Internet Explorer. The browser wasn’t properly drawing certain elements to the screen, namely <hn> tags with background images, colors, or borders. It was all very frusterating. In the end, I just chalked it up to Internet Explorer sucking, and left it alone. Recently, [...]


LIR And Bug Fixes for IE5/Win

by Ryan Parman • December 9, 2003 • Browsers, Creating Websites • No comments

Internet Explorer Sucks Most real web designers already know this. Most who don’t are generally either amateurs or are way, way behind the times. You’d think that with all of the money, power, and research and development resources Microsoft has, that they could produce a web browser better than crap. Apparently I’m mistaken.

View Your Site on OSX and Safari

by Ryan Parman • November 23, 2003 • Apple, Browsers, Software, Technology • No comments

I came across a website that shows you what your website looks like in Safari 1.1 under Mac OS X 10.3. I think it’s awfully amazing myself. This will definitely help me with some of my Mac development. I never realized how good the web looks on Mac OS X. It’s so much different than [...]


Multiple Versions of Internet Explorer

by Ryan Parman • November 6, 2003 • Browsers, Creating Websites, Software • 208 comments

Ethan Marcotte (aka Sidesh0w) has posted a link to a tutorial on how to run Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6.0 under Windows XP! I’ve tried it, and it works! To save some people the hassle, I’ve gone ahead and zipped each stand-alone installation and made them available for download. I’ve tested them on Windows [...]


Links From Around

by Ryan Parman • October 29, 2003 • Browsers, Creating Websites, Software, Technology, Website • No comments

Here are a few interesting reads from around the world wide web this evening. Microsoft trying to control blogging. Gator tries to shed it’s self-inflicted unpopularity by changing it’s name to Claria. Napster’s back (well, it’s pretending to be…). MSN splits in two. Mozilla Firebird is a viable (and better) alternative to Microsoft Internet Explorer. [...]


Browsers That Don’t Suck

by Ryan Parman • October 14, 2003 • Browsers, Creating Websites, Software, Technology • No comments

I’ve begun some preliminary work to launch a Mozilla / Opera 7 / Standards-compliant browser website. Many web designers and developers are fed-up with Internet Explorer, but many end-users are okay with IE. The goal of this new site will be to promote the use of browsers other than IE, or at the very least, [...]
