Web Browsers and Website Development

From: Bravenet Webmaster Tips

Let's talk about browsers. A browser is the piece of software that you use to surf the web. Browsers 'render' code used to develop web pages into what you see when you type your URL (www.yourname.com). To see this in action, go to your favorite web page, right click on the page (make sure you are not over an image when you do this) and select view source. You can see the source code of the page which is rendered by the browser. (sample from my browser, firefox, with two developer extensions listed at bottom) If you are running windows, chances are you are using Internet Explorer (IE) as your web browser. But here's the thing, if you build your website and only test it in IE you may be missing nasty layout and functionality errors that other people will see from other browsers. The truth is, IE doesn't always render things according to the guidelines set out by the 'World Wide Web Consortium - W3C'. IE often fills in the blanks in your bad code, and doesn't implement different models, and CSS specifications correctly. Firefox is the safest browser out there for surfing, it doesn’t contain many of the vulnerabilities that IE does which can be exploited by spyware and other malicious programs. Most importantly, Firefox is constantly under development by a community of volunteer coders.
