Firefox, explorer or other ?....

[illskills]

Im currently programming a HTML export for one of my applications.

I've just realised i coded the whole export to work with firefox and now when I load it in explorer its not justifying my <DIV> tags the same as in firefox.

My questions are ... should i recode the export to work with explorer ?

or should i state firefox is required for the export to HTML to work correctly ?

is there a tag to add a page/line break in between my divs ?

many thanks
regards

The HTML tag for a line break is <BR>.

lol

yeh i know but this just moves the next new div layer down one line ... it still appears to the rhs of my previous div tag ....

i think im going to check my style sheet i may have some 'float' styles setup wrong.

thought there may have been a quick way i tried <p></p> tags and the page break tag but these didnt work

any thoughts on the export ? should i recode for explorer as it is provided by default on windows .... but isnt on linux / osx etc

We can't tell you that. It's your app and they're your users so it's up to you to decide what's most appropriate.

You have found a everlasting nightmare of every web developer!!!
When I create a web page or site, I must always create it to support multiple browsers and that is not easy.
Every browser, especially IE, are not following web design guidelines.
I suggest that you make it for Firefox and then correct it to show reasonable well on IE...

No. Do not recode. Make it that it can work ON ALL BROWSERS IDENTICAL OR VERY SIMILAR.
It's a bad practice to state that Firefox or Opera or Safari or Chrome or IE is required... Do not do that! Make it work. Use tricks (search for it on google... use css, use javascript..., use all weapons to make it work...)

<br> or <br /> is corect tag for new line feed but... but not for DIV-s while imagine that DIV is one big empty/full BOX and not one/more line(s) of text... So, you can't give to a box new line feed... DIV is most efficiently positioned using CSS...
