Hi,
I'm learning developing in javascript and jQuery. I'm puzzled on why the firefox and IE are soo different in handling javascript and jquery functions.
Firefox seems to be doing exactly what I want it to do, when the IE is all over the place and quite often I can't find a reasonable explanation why certain event didn't fire off or variable didn't get set.
Is there anything in particular that I should avoid while developing for these browsers?
Thank you
Really, you should avoid anything prorietary, or non-standardised. You are most likely to find this when using versions of IE, and for it to not work in Firefox rather than vice-versa.
That said, if you are using jQuery, then a lot of the cross browser concerns should be handled for you automatically. So I suspect the issues you are encountering are more related to your own code than anything else.
Can you post some samples so we can get a better idea of what might be the issue?
