Wow...I am actually using it too. And is it just me, or is this box I am typing in very narrow? Anyone else have this?

And I found Moz runs good with a proxy on to stop all ads and popups. Makes for nice browsing!

Yeah. It's been covered three times here already :). vBulletin's textbox in IE is 70 characters wide, in a browser other than IE or Netscape it's 60, in Netscape 4.x it's 50, and in Netscape 6.x (including Mozilla) it's 40. It's not Mozilla's problem, it's vB purposefully trying to look bad.

A simple "style='width:100%;'" would make it look the same in all but alas...

yeah vB makes things hard for those users.

Okay...I thought it was discussed before...haven't paid much attention to the Moz threads. But, I am liking it. I have been using it for about a week now, and it works good. It has autocomplete, which is nice. I still think IE and Opera especially are faster, but maybe it's the proxy slowing Moz down? It seems images take a long time to load, lots of text is fine though.

Just went to CNet, and they have a review. Might be worth checking out:

I think c|net screwed something up on their tests.

For some reasons new browsers are cool for a week, after that they start to get annoying and you notice all there bugs I am again after buying opera going back to IE

Lol Is0lized I get the feeling you didn't exactly pay for VB, usually when you pay $150 for something you can easily remember their site isn't gonna be a .org

I think of it as

Mozilla = buggy netscape, Netscape = Spyware

Is it just me or does alt+text not show up when you hover your mouse over an image in Mozilla? It works in IE...
Dusty

It's not supposed to, alt text is what's shown when the image isn't downloaded (hence alternate). You're talking about title text.

<img src="..." title="this shows on hover">

When I was learning HTML I used Alt text for that hovering. I think most sites do. Including VB.
Dusty

What the attribute was intended for is one thing, what browsers do is another. Mozilla treats alt and title correctly. Title works in IE and Opera, even if they do alt wrong. Title doesn't work in Netscape 4.x, it only recognizes alt and it only does so on images.

A webdesigner should worry himself with more than what he learned when he first picked up HTML, he should actually try to do stuff correctly. VB doing it doesn't mean anything, it wouldn't be the only poor coding they have. You can't blame a browser for not doing something when you've never instructed it to.

I'm not saying that is correct Dusty, I'm just saying that is what is most commonly used. When I make a site (if I ever do), I will try to follow standards. Thanks for the tip on Alt vs. Title.

And has anyone else experienced Mozilla going to the wrong site when you type an address into the address bar? Sometimes when I type "freewebspace.net/forums" it takes me to a site I have been to recently, but not freewebspace.net . Weird.

Well, Mozilla 1.1 alpha's out.

Anyone tried it out yet? For those people who knock Mozilla's loading speed, improvements were supposedly made to this version.
