Internet Explorer 9 – Poor Compatibility with WordPress
Via Scoop.it – Browserland
I recently upgraded my version of Internet Explorer to the latest version, IE9. At first, I did not see any issues with upgrading from IE8 until I surfed over to one of my WordPress blogs. I noticed that none of my blogs were displaying correctly. I upgraded to the latest version of WordPress thinking that this may be an issue that WordPress was aware of and resolved. However, upgrading WordPress had no affect. After reading other posts about issues with IE9 and finding no easy method to correct the issue other than changing my theme to something less desirable or spending hours going through the theme code in order to alter the theme to display accurately in IE9, I decided to experiment with other browsers. What I found is that the only browser installed on my machine that displays my blogs inaccurately is IE9. I had no issues with IE8 and after surfing to my blog using Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Opera, I discovered that none of these had issues with my blogs as well. They displayed correctly in all browsers I tested except IE9. I even tried Compatibility Mode in IE9, but this had no affect. This makes me wonder what changes Microsoft made to Internet Explorer in this latest version and what other issues I am going to discover. For now, I have decided to move to Firefox as my primary browser since Internet Explorer can no longer fulfill my needs. This is unfortunate as I have been an IE user since the first versions of IE. Microsoft needs to be more careful about ensuring that their browser is backward compatible with existing websites as not everyone has the time to change coding in their sites every time Microsoft decides to update their browser.

Via Scoop.it – Browserland
Google brings the Gmail Web interface for iPad to desktop computers and adds preview panes to its webmail service. If you have used Gmail on an iPad (or Android tablet), the new Gmail preview panes will look and feel familiar, with a few added perks for the big screen. You can enable the preview pane feature from the Labs tab in Gmail Settings. If you haven’t activated the Google+ inspired Gmail themes, the two features look good combined. Once activated, you can toggle the preview panes from the top right corner of your message list.

Some of you might have noticed that EdReach is focused on sharing tools this week. My first choice was sharing all the resources I use from the BBC. They have great activities for my social studies and language arts class, but it is a very specific tool that might not be pertinent to most. I finally decided to share some of the tools I use within the Chrome web browser. Google is the creator of Chrome and they make it very easy to integrate tools within their browser.

HOWTO run multiple versions of Firefox side-by-side on Mac OS X Lion » Hay Kranen
Via Scoop.it – Browserland
Cross-browser testing is pretty essential when developing web sites. Most of the bugs you need to fix are probably in older versions of Internet Explorer. Both Chrome and Firefox have a very fast release cycle, where new versions are released every six weeks or so. However, there are still many people using the older 3.6 version of Firefox. Firefox 3.6 has a few bugs, and because of its big installed base you probably need to run some tests on it as well. There’s a problem here: Firefox doesn’t like it when two different versions are run side-by-side. Fortunately there are a few tricks you can use to make this happen. This guide is written for Mac OS X Lion, but will probably work on older versions too, up to 10.4 Tiger.
