My experience is backend, so I am a php person. I know enough html and css
to get by, but that is not my area of expertise. So, until now, I always
used the most convenient browser which, in this case, was IE7.
On this most recent job I have had to do a lot more with htnl and css (like
this problem). I have had to make sure things work on FF and IE6. The more
I get into it, the better FF looks as far as quality and more IE
comparatively looks like a piece of crap. Even a litlle thing like looking
at page source. On FF it is indented nicely and color coded. On IE it
comes up in (ugh!) notepad. Then there is the developer tools plugin for
FF. It is great. You can easily see the javascript and css files (and
other stuff). (Fortunately, it impossible for it to see the php or asp
code.) The only drawback to FF is that it takes longer for a first loading.
I also didn't care enough for Opera or Netscape to consider changing. By
contrast, I am about to set FF as my default browser.
