Web page displays different in different browsers?

[computergeek2]

Hello,

Has anyone had the problem where their web page displays differently in different browsers? Page is fine in IE 5.0 but displays totally different in IE 6.0 ?

Yes. Page rendering in IE 6 has caused me many a problem.
Tips that I have found to help.

Take your html output an use

http://validator.w3.org/

to check it. It seems that ie6 doesnt let things slide like previous versions.

Also try and specify the version of html to use. ie !DOCTYPE

search at

http://www.google.com/microsoft.html

for IE6 Render Problems.

You need to adjust the PM.ASP file in the _scriptLibrary subdirectory. It has a function that returns true/false depending on if it thinks the browser is DHTML capable. It is hard coded to expect IE4 and IE5 as DHTML, and all else is a lowly 'down level' browser.

You need to find this function and update it to include IE6 (and Netscape 6 too).

function _SOM_isDHTMLBrowser()
{
if (typeof(this._isDHTMLBrowser) == 'undefined')
{
this._isDHTMLBrowser = false;
var userAgent = String(Request.ServerVariables('HTTP_USER_AGENT'));
if (userAgent.indexOf('MSIE 4.') != -1 ||
userAgent.indexOf('MSIE 5.') != -1 ||
userAgent.indexOf('MSIE 6.') != -1 ||
userAgent.indexOf('Mozilla/5') != -1 )
this._isDHTMLBrowser = true;
}
return this._isDHTMLBrowser;
}
