Firefox wrong, Kazehakase right

tomk · 2006-04-13 21:35:01

I recently built and installed Kazehakase (thanks pressh ), just for curiosity's sake, and because I felt like having another browser around. I haven't really done any configuration on it yet, so it's pretty much the default install.

Today I was checking some local train times in Firefox, and I got this:

Note the overlapping menu bars. I was thinking there might some dumb M$-specific tags in there or something, but I fired up Kazehakase anyway, and I got this:

All nice and tidy.

I think I'll be taking a closer look at Kaze now.

Mind you, if anyone has ideas about getting the display right in Firefox, I'd be interested in those too.

Weird, they should display it the same. :?

tomk · 2006-04-13 23:02:22

Yep, that's what I thought too. It might be worth posting the screenies to wherever a firefox dev might see them, and wait for the response, if any.

Posting the site's url would help.

firefox ok :?

konqy looks like your shot above overlaps

I tried it with kazehakase, epiphany and opera b9. From these only kazehakase did dispay it correctly. Though epiphany did display it a bit better compared to your firefox.
AFAIK the xulrunner version in repos should be the same code as the firefox engine, so I don't quite get it why they have different results. More bizar is that both kazehakase and epiphany using the same xulrunner give different results.

I love horrible code. :evil:

how does it do on the acid 2 test?

Firefox doesn't pass the test, though I have heard said test criticized for being "unrealistic".

Well, the test doesn't respect strict standards, it has some volontary errors to check if browsers can handle ugly code... I don't see the point of this test, they should build a complete webpage with advanced css features, not making a useless smiley :?

tomk · 2006-04-14 16:43:11

Kaze doesn't pass that test either, btw - the result is not quite the same as Firefox, but still wrong.

Snowman · 2006-04-14 17:39:24

opera did much better that firefox on the acid test. However, it still got it wrong.

I checked with firefox + NOscript and found the lower menu bar is only visible when scripts are allowed, so the problems might be java related.
(the bars looked fine on my firefox)

Gullible Jones · 2006-04-14 20:41:39

You mean javascript, or Java?

ozar · 2006-04-14 20:55:15

The gray bar is totally obscured by the orange one in my firefox. I'm guessing crap coding is more the case rather than crap browser.

Firefox, SeamOnkey don't passed the test but Konqueror shows correct.
