I wanted to see what one worked (the way I thought they should) and what ones didn't.</p> <p>They all worked pretty much how I thought they should. Except Internet Explorer.</p> <p>That brought a new problem. </p> <p>The recent, css compliant ones like Google Chrome and Apple Safari don't recognize the "embed" thing that youtube gives you to add to your blog. Embed is actually a leftover from the Netscape Navigator days. So, the little trick I had to make the video hidden on the web site, didn't work for them. </p> <p>They took the attitude that there's no such thing as embed, so therefore any rules you give me about it are irrelevant. And to prove their point, they displayed the video.</p> <p>I worked away around it, so now all of the browsers show the video icon on the main page instead of the video. Whew!</p> <p>I still have the problem with internet explorer not working like I think it should.<br /> :( </p> http://factory4.org/forum/topic/i-hate-internet-explorer#post-11 Sat, 17 Oct 2009 19:54:38 +0000 webmaster 11@http://factory4.org/forum/ <p>After several frustrating hours, I had internet explorer working with the web site for videos. It was supposed to show on the main page, an icon, and the video on the page when you went to that specific page. All good!</p> <p>Yesterday, I updated the computer (from windows update) and never paid attention to what was being updated. There was an update to internet explorer, but hey - maybe it will fix the problems I had.</p> <p>Anyway, it screwed things up again. Menus are wrong, videos don't work (don't even display half the time) the icon is gone, parts of the page disappear sporadically. </p> <p>Now it could be my personal computer. Or it could be the way I have stuff set up on the web site. </p> <p>In any event, it's extremely frustrating. </p> http://factory4.org/forum/topic/too-bad-most-people-use-internet-explorer#post-2 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 01:26:12 +0000 admin 2@http://factory4.org/forum/ <p>... because I can't figure out how to force Internet Explorer to work properly on the factory4 web site.</p> <p>Here's the problem:</p> <p>Images are supposed to be resized ONLY if they are bigger than one of the columns.</p> <p>Firefox does it right, so does the other ones I've tries like Mac's default browser, Safari, and a couple of others I tried in Linux.</p> <p>Internet Explorer 8 screws up. It always resizes, and only the width. So pictures are tall and skinny. </p> <p>If I force the web page to be displayed in internet explorer as if it were running internet explorer 7, the pictures are displayed properly, but the rest of the web site goes wonky. The menu is all wrong, alignment is mixed up, etc. Columns can even disappear or get thrown to the bottom.</p> <p>SO I probably have something wrong in the css for the display, but after an hour or two on google, it seems to be a common annoyance.</p> <p>So, I'm not sure what to do </p>
