I know they just redesigned our intranet, and the page loads fine in IE but requires a whole bunch of extra password log-ins in Firefox for some reason. I don't know what the deal is, but I guess if you optimize for IE, sometimes Firefox gets the shaft.
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Is it common for something to work in IE but not Firefox?
yep. It looks fine for me in IE as well.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It was working earlier today, so someone clearly broke something. I'm just surprised it broke in Firefox.
I guess I need to escalate this. I was hoping it would magically fix itself.

And yeah it looks fine in IE. So you have a browser specific issue. Interestingly enough I see the same problem in an old version of Opera. So I wonder if you have IE specific code in there.

There's code in there designed to make it work with IE6. (I know, I know. We all know. Argue with the client.) I just don't know what they might have been working on today to break it. And it would have to happen when our web person is out sick.

And I just made a developer go "Ooops."
Thanks, guys.
Vortex, do you mind deleting the screencap? I'd like to try and keep things on the DL, especially since I have so little chance to ever use the phrase "on the DL."

No prob. I'd already deleted the file, so the link is dead, but I will delete the link in the post.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We have an extranet site here that's not just IE6 only, it's XP only. As in, if you upgrade to Vista you're on your own, please don't upgrade to Windows 7. I'm not sure what all they put in the code to make it do that.

Steph,
what kind of Nokia phone do you have? I have a Nokia phone and the times I need to get on the Internet with the Touch, I fire up Joikuspot and I get wireless if I have a 3G connection.

Is it common for something to work in IE but not Firefox?
Very. Depending on your attitude about standards, it's either a bug or a feature, but IE will try to render bad code, while most other browsers will throw up their tiny little hands. On the other hand, there are some convenient styles IE won't pay any attention to, and IE and Firefox render certain kinds of widths differently. In response, I curse a lot.
