quanta & previewing
by me on Thursday 12/Sep/2002, @02:41

hi!
I have an honest question: I can't imagine creating a website in Quanta, for the simple reason that I couldn't preview it in Internet Explorer at the same time.
Do you guys just don't check/care how it looks in ie, do you have multiple computers (and one just for pressing F5) or what? |

Do you want a solution? Here it is:
As far as I know there is no IE for Linux, so your question is rather theoretically, but you can do this and it should work.
1.Install and configure "wine".
2.make a script which launches iexplorer through wine (and passes the parameters to it).
3a. create an action in quanta which launches this action and passes the file name to it or
3b. name the above script to netscape and translate the netscape style arguments to ie style ones
4. Put this action on a toolbar and save the toolbar
5. You should see the current file in IE (if wine does not crash)
If you own Solaris, it's even easier, as there is a IE for Solaris. Don't know about other
unixes.
So there are possibilities, you just need to find them and use them.

Hi
I'm a web developer and I NEVER had any problem with compatibility. In fact, I always design my websites using the HTML norm, verifying them on konqueror and, when I've finished, I test them on Mozilla and IE. Believe me or not, I have never had to change anything in my HTML code for it to work on the three navigators. I really believe that it's not that hard to make a perfect website without taking care of which navigator will be used to watch it.

One can certainly hope, at least that it is not as overly complex as some.
I have used a number of scripts that enable consistent behavior. You test for browser type and adjust accordingly. However rather than use old techniques I usually just use DOM which Konqi uses nicely. Danny Goodman's Javascipt Bible is also handy her to identify what you want to use and abstract your browser operatons to standardized commands. I have used Javascript and DHTML and done just fine knowing what I was using would work for IE because I read books that specified what each browser would or would not do. Like I said it's gotten better with DOM. Anyway I always just called a windows bound friend when it was done to make sure the small bit of code that handles IE specific stuff wasn't broken and I got no bug reports. It's not really that big of a deal unless you are trying to do with Javascript what, in my opinion, would be probably better done with PHP.

Yes I do. But I admit that I use few JS and DHTML. And, if that's your point, I also admit that I had some (little) problems with JS and DHTML. Sometimes JS/DHTML code doesn't work on Mozilla whereas it works fine on IE and Konqueror. Compatibility between Konqueror (3.0.x) and IE are really rare for me. That's why I think that testing only konqueror is enough for HTML but testing Mozilla too should be enough for JS and DHTML. Of course it depends on how complex your JS/DHTML code is. Some times you just won't be able to make fully compatible code at all :(
