If I type in a post box and type more than the box, it just starts to shake and I have a hard time editing my post while typing. What's happening?
-
Does it like go back to the top and as you write it flashes between where your cursor is and the top?
-
yea it does
-
I've had this happen to me too on another forum. What browser are you using? Ever since I switched out from IE to FireFox I've never had that problem since.
-
I am using IE...Damn Microsoft! :banghead:

Good use of the new sprite. Yeah, firefox is nice. I use it for development sometimes.
-
I have this happen on TIBD occasionally and I have Firefox...
-

That's why I use Linux :P
I would strongly suggest FF or Chrome. Both are faster and have much support from their communities.

I also used it while I was in web design. That and Chrome.

just use ff or chrome
-
Who needs Firefox or Chrome? Write your own browser in x86 O.O
I think that's my favorite emoticon
-
Lol Qwerty. I personally use Opera and am fine. However with Opera this problem occurs on Cemetech as well when typing in SAX from the posting page (not the quick reply)
-
I've never seen that problem. My Firefox just jumps down the page while loading [if it's a big page]. It's kind of annoying to start reading something then have to readjust the page
-
Yeah usually on pages filled with images hosted on a slow server I just hit the Esc button when it just won't stop moving around, else I accidentally click ads.
Sometimes they purposely put ads exactly where you would click normally and artificially increase loading time so by the time you were gonna click it's gonna move.
-
This is an IE problem, unfortunately. I've seen the same thing. If FF or Chrome isn't an option for you, I recommend using Notepad to compose posts and pasting it into the forum. A quick way to get to Notepad is to push Windows Key+R, and type in "notepad" and hit Enter.
-
So shaking wont fix until I use different browser?
-
Nope, unless someone knows PHP and can make a SMF mod that fixes it. :P
But seriously, Internet Explorer is terrible, especially 6 and 7. None of the versions are fully compliant with web standards. Some sites even blocks IE users to force them to switch. :P
I personally don't understand why some people absolutely want to stick to IE when you can customize Opera or Firefox to look similar to IE (if you only use IE for the look), unless your parents refuse to let you install a better browser. (http://www.abetterbrowser.org/)

IE is the nightmare of webdesigners like me, you have to create two CSS files, one that's compatible with IE and one for all the others.
IE just... it just sucks
-
Yes, it's a huge nightmare for web designers. You have no idea how hard it is to keep a site web compliant but still show up fine in IE. It sucks that our source code, even PHP stuff, has to include code for good browsers and an additional piece of code just for IE. That said, IE is better than it used to be, though. I heard IE9 isn't too bad.

Yes the standards on IE 7 and even 8 are just terrible.
IE 6? Forget it! No tabs? The nightmare browser
As for DJ your question, it's microsoft. Terrible. Ever since IE started owning the market over the previous superbrowser, Netscape (which was interestingly run by Mozilla) in the 1990. Microsoft has taken great lengths to ensure it's browser dominated. So they started introducing it into their OS so that it would ship with it. and the real reason for people to choose it is not because they choose to stick to it, it's that many have never even heard of firefox or chrome or opera and just 'are happy with the default programs that microsoft provides with windows'. But things are changing, and with IE coming down to less than 50% of the market share, someday MIcrosoft will go DOWN!!!
Anyway i like this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browser_wars
for another reason why IE 8 sucks: go to acid3.acidtests.org
try it first with chrome or any other non-ie browser and then try Interent explorer 8. you'll be laughing. imagine ie6's score.
As for IE 9 well i will have to change sympathies a bit because it is much better. but i also see it as a catchup to the other browsers rather than leading the pack
thhis page will also have you laughing. it has so many lies that you can easily see thorugh, microsoft is desperately trying to save its precious browser

also here in the public library i am forced to use the horror ie7 and on the profile page where you can edit your sig it keeps jumping down and shaking. also on ie 7 you cannot even drag in the bottom right corner to make the editing box bigger!
-
Back then IE was not too bad in general because Netscape barely supported web standards, but then M$ stopped updating IE for over 6 years and IE6 really got outdated when Mozilla got popular.
As for IE9 I heard it gets a much higher score in the Acid3 test, but it still loads pages much slower than FF and Opera. It also takes more ressources, from what I heard. On my older Celeron, IE8 almost froze while loading, so imagine IE9 x.x
I am saddened that some schools and libraries still use IE6...
The worst part is that some companies over here got their websites designed in a way that only show up fine in IE6...
-
yep. don't worry firefox is the best.
Or you might try IE9 Beta. That might have fixes
-
Just backup before doing so, though. Although TC01 said he had no problem with IE9 beta, I heard that one person had a crash that was so bad he had to reformat his harddrive. It's still a beta, and if Microsoft products are already buggy in their final form, imagine a beta.

That's why I use FF portable and chrome portable. Not only do you have great browsers constantly with you, but you have all your bookmarks and settings as well. :P

Me and my friends' site doesn't show up correctly with IE. So we put up a warning and links to FF and Chrome. :P
-
I see. In my case, Omni says Best viewed in Opera, FF, Chrome and Safari with 1024x768 or higher. It doesn't show perfectly in all, because of soem buggy mods such as the Spoiler tags, but at least it works pretty well. When I made my first site, It only showed fine in IE6 X.x
-
things have changed since the dominance of ie6 an acceptable browser when it was released, but towards the end of the life cycle a horror browser.
ie9 is microsoft's attempt to catch up with the rest. it has lots of improvements and scores 95% on the acid3 test, but is still behind in some areas.
-
I'm personally curious where Opera will stand among browsers once IE9 comes out, though. I wonder if it will fall far behind. It doesn't even support some curved DIV borders CSS.
-
Firefox has been dominant in increasing market share over the past few years, and chrome's is going up even faster than firefox. safari and opera are stable.
-
Oh, no I meant in terms of webpage rendering. I sometimes worry Opera will fall behind, since it doesn't even support everything yet and IE seems to slowly catch up.
-
oh sorry i knew what u were saying, i was just veering off onto another topic
and yes opera is falling behind in some aspects of webpage rendering, however there are some things that only ie can do (not even ff) and when i have to do it, i am forced to open up that browser
-
Since I am on an old laptop, after a few hours chrome and FF will crash. IE will last for about another hour so I'm forced to use it sometimes.
-
That sucks. Have you tried with Opera? I wonder if it would crash? That said, Opera has to be customized to look like other browsers, though, so it can be annoying to use at first.
-
That's why I use FF portable and chrome portable. Not only do you have great browsers constantly with you, but you have all your bookmarks and settings as well. :P

yeah i wished i could do that but thelibarary computers don't allow running of exe files (uknow, virus danger or somewhat) so i am still forced to use ie7 at the libraries

That's pretty bad. Anti-virus + portblocker/monitor + FF w/NoScript/RequestPolicy should take care of most viruses.
(Actually any one of them takes care of most viruses) x.x At least the internet related ones :P
-
i meant that the computers don't allow any exes unconditionally
oops this is an old topic
