I don't even know.

Do you guys have trouble making Bungie.net work in every browser?

I'm part of my robotics team's web team and we have been having a hard time making our website work in internet explorer 6. Is this something you guys have to deal with as well?

I'm not asking anyone to join, I'm asking about the creation of Bungie.net.

Oh, I'm just a little confused right now. That's all.

It seems to me as if people just have to adapt to the new standard (IE 7, FF 2). And I'm pretty sure Bungie.net dropped support for IE 6 as well. I think you might have to do the same.

Of course, getting websites to work correctly on all browsers seems to be a major chore. I'd say just pick and choose the most relevant ones, and stick with it. From what I've seen, not many people use IE 6 at all, and almost everyone is using FF 2.0.

I got nothin'

Yes, different browsers process tags and styles differently and they have varying default configurations for styles of a webpage. As such, it can become difficult to code for other browsers, especially IE6.

Although I must say that this thread seems to be a thinly-veiled advertisement to me.

Yup. But he wouldn't get any replies in The Classifieds, would he?

Programming is a pain in the ass, especially when you have many platforms (or in this case, web browsers) to program for. That goes for everything.

It is sometimes difficult to make websites cross-compatible with different browsers -- for example: dealing with Cascading Style Sheets. You could enter the same CSS code into two different browsers and get two totally different results, so you have to know how to be able to spackle those issues over.

I can't answer for Bungie, being that I don't work for Bungie, but I can tell you from experience that compatibility is an issue that people who work with websites have to grapple with on a regular basis. After all, you can't assume that everyone's gonna be using the same browser. It would make things a lot easier in terms of trying to make everything compatible, but people want their variety.

Usually people are most likely to get the best experience when they use the most modern browsers, and sometimes it's just not possible to deliver the best experience to those who haven't updated without sacrificing part of the experience of those who have.

That, my friend, is one of the top reasons I'm never going to become a web programmer/developer. X86 (or X64) machine-code for me, please.

What sort of issues are you experiencing?

Your best bet is to detect what browser is being used, and upload the data based on that.

IE60Fixes.css is what Wikipedia uses for it skinning layout. You may want to poke around in some page source to determine exactly how a site deals with multiple browser support.

I use to beta test for a living, and multiple browser testing was our bread and butter.
