cluberti Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I was saying that with Opera:I see the board's CODEBOX "properly"I can copy and paste their contents "correctly"I don't have "keywords" blue, double underlined and popping up adsAgain, be careful how you word it. There is actually no *wrong* way to display the CSS that applies to the spans that are created for CODE and CODEBOX objects on the forum. The CSS specs basically say that *either* way is fine, and both conform 100% to the CSS spec. This is why saying that a browser is "standards compliant" is a misnomer - you can implement a spec one way, have it be ugly, and still be standards compliant. As to the ads, I'm sure if there was a larger userbase for Opera the Vibrant folks would spend the time to make it work . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_A Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 So why does my copy of Firefox draw the Codeboxes the same width as Yzöwl's copy of IE7? (Give or take 20 or so pixels)BTW Spam's browsershots disappeared overnight -- yesterday's interesting page is today's dead link.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 So why does my copy of Firefox draw the Codeboxes the same width as Yzöwl's copy of IE7? (Give or take 20 or so pixels)Because that's the way that FF and IE7 decided to implement the spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_A Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Actually, cluberti, you've completely missed the point of my question. Perhaps I was a little too brief. So, let me explain.In Yzöwl's post of screenshots (see post #8) the behaviour of "my usual Gecko based browser" and IE7 are shown as somewhat different. Based upon that, this post then took a somewhat OT turn into an argument over the different rendering of different browsers.Now I have come along, with the implied asseveration that most of this discussion is actually based upon a false premise. Because MY "usual Gecko based browser", namely Firefox, renders the CODEBOX essentially the same as Yzöwl's IE7 (give or take a few pixels) and not like the first screenshot at all.We thus revert to the original question by Yzöwl. We know that the CODEBOX rendering can be different on different versions of IP.Board and also that it will be radically different in the upcoming version 3 (as confirmed by a discussion between myself and Tarun on another forum). So, has anything changed on this board, or not? That is, after all, the original question and it has not yet been answered.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) The last time MSFN upgraded IPB was done on October 3rd of this past year. Edited February 11, 2009 by cluberti You'd think I'd get used to it being 2009 already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
