Help me out fellas...
I'm a Safari guy myself but have recently found a few things that are quite annoying and has me wondering about switching to FireFox.
Recently I was looking at a website regarding a service I was interesting in using. I was going to go there and called the place for directions to which the lady replied ``it's on the website". So I went back and looked at it for several minutes trying to find the directions. Didn't see any directions so I called back and she gave them to me. While I was at her place of business I asked about the situation and she said, ``yes, it's right there on the front page of our website". I asked her to show me which she did (IE). Sure enough there were a row of buttons which did not show on my in my browser. I fired up IE (arrrgh) and FireFox asnd both browsers displayed the buttons that are missing in Safari.
Now I have a problem that is driving me nuts with my own website. I installed a Portal on my site and one of the blocks has a rather bold "rule" on the right side. It's the only block on the site that displays that way and it's driving me nuts? Why? Because the same page displays perfectly in IE (arrrgh) and FireFox. I'm rather particular about how things look and am wondering why this is happening. Is Safari just reading the code better or just different. Seems to me that one "block" must have some coding that the others don't, right? Sounds reasonable, right? What other explanation is there?
And Finally, I had to register on the NCL Cruise line for my upcoming trip and the page displayed completely different in IE than in Safari and FireFox. In fact it didn't give me the necessary look up feature I was told it would -- only in IE. Maybe that page was written specifically for IE...is that possible you think? Anyway, it created a problem for me and luckily I found out and had the travel agent do it for me. D'oh. Things like that are scary.
And one final question for ya all...one feature I use constantly on the web through Safari is the spell checking feature...control + click on a word and it give me spelling options. Is there such a thing in FireFox? I've looked and searched and cannot figure out if it's available.
So, what do you folks think? What should I do about this Safari problem? What would you guys suggest about my display problems.
Thanks for your help!
