FireFox distorts xanga Options

[tristesa]

I recently downloaded firefox because IE was, as always, driving me nuts. and my internet connection is with AOL. Well I went to my xanga on it and my xanga is completely distorted and some of my coding is missing. Are there options I can do to fix this? Or is all hope lost lol.



With AOL

With Firefox

First, there's something wrong with your links. You don't need the extra http://] in front of your link.

Okay let me see... I think Xanga said something that it only works well with IE and Mozilla... so I guess something may go wrong in other browsers =\

isn't mozilla made by firefox?, my firefox was showing my xanga all messed up when i was using it but then it told me to download some plugin.. after taht its been fine. maybe the plug in is all you need

[puhehedungdung]

Firefox can't read certain html like custom scroll bar colors and what not so many of your codes will not work when you use it.

What plugin do i need to DL?

[*[2]Nekked*]

mozilla makes firefox. not the other way around. and firefox doesnt distort anything. xanga's just f**ked up. it's compatable with IE, because IE doesnt follow standards. firefox does, and so bad coding doesnt read on firefox the same way it does on IE.

yeah that happened to me too........hmmm i can never tell whether the scrollbar i coded was right you know?

[tristesa]

So i CANT DL a plugin to fix it?

[vanish]

Nope. Xanga's problem. Maybe something to do with coding.

[weirdness]

u could use msn explorer. i think its the same as IE. yah IE drives me nuts too.

firefox disorted my xangas codes too

[tristesa]

I'll just send an email to xanga and see if they plan on fixing it.. im just glad its not just me lol

[MrElsewhere]

it's not xanga's fault. change your coding.

[coyote]

where the hell did you all get that it's xanga's fault?
it's the coding...

here's a tip, next time, do the coding with mozilla.
because if mozilla works, then ie does too.

[kleenex_for_kayl...]

Bad coding makes it go wrong in firefox..
What they said...Just code it in firefox and it'll be friendly for everyone

And firefox is by far the better browser

Well, i'm having a problem with a skin someone posted here. Its the Naruto-kun skin found here: http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=49954

It looks fine in IE, but doesnt work in mozilla. As mozilla is my main browser, this wont work. :( But i love the skin!!! lol.

Any ideas???

using classes in firefox doesn't work with xanga too well, so use inline style with your divs for more chances of compatability (at least my experiences ) i.e: [CODE]<div id="blah" style="add positioning etc">Add content</div>

And yeah design your site in firefox and it will work in IE (check out my xanga)

[MattRK]

Ok. I'll give that a shot when i get home. I haven't designed a xanga skin yet, so it may take a while. Do you know where i could get a listing of all the css styles that xanga uses? I've seen some skins with comments explaining what it does, but i've yet to find a complete list. Thanks for your help!!

if you look in the skins and compare the css stylesheets to that actual appearance of the skin, you can understand it better.
