Different result on different browsers

Post by carrier_andrew »

I'm using Flare V9, the issue I am having is with outputs generating different results on different browsers. All browsers have been cleared of cache and browser history before testing and taking these screenshots:

IE

Chrome

FireFox

The obvious difference are the (I'm assuming) missing CSS details (No color to the headers) and the missing Togglers on FireFox. I know this may not be directly related to Flare, but if anyone can give me hand that would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Try duplicating each property with a -moz- prefix, i.e., Mozilla Extension:

Code: Select all

h1
{
   background-color: #123456;
   -moz-background-color: #123456;
}

Because Microsoft is phasing out Internet Explorer for Edge, I’m curious to know which browser currently works most smoothly with Flare.

I have also worked with Flare and Chrome. Which of these browsers is preferable, or should I use a different one entirely? In my past experience, Chrome didn’t work very well, but things may have changed since then. Any advice you can offer will be appreciated.

I've been using Firefox with Flare almost exclusively for years and don't recall having any browser-specific issues. However, I write for software developers, so I have to support the top four: IE, FF, Chrome, and Safari.

That is not entirely correct, IE11 is still included in Win10 and will be around for years. It is not the default browser on Win 10. Microsoft will phase out old IE11 versions within the next months, so for all practical purposes IE11 is the version of IE to target.
Besides that, after spending now weeks testing Edge I come to the conclusion that it is the same as IE11, it behaves the same and has the same flaws and bugs, plus plenty more stuff that is broken.
