firefox - BlogCraving

Many people are sill experiencing issues with the image upload function in WordPress 2.5.1.

The issue centers around placing images into posts with links to the image itself or to a page with the image on it.

After uploading in an image, you are given the option to place it with None, File URL, or Post URL. File URL links right to the full size image by itself. The Post URL links to a stand alone page with only the image on it. None does exactly what it sounds like.

Well, in IE7, that doesn’t always work correctly. As a matter of fact, it rarely works. However, in Firefox and all Mac browsers, it works just fine.

It is a known issue: http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6469

It apparently will be fixed for WordPress 2.5.2

Once you really get into customizing your blog template, look, design, and functions, you may run into some cross browser compatibility issues. What does that mean?

Basically, your site may not look the same in Internet Explorer as it does in Mozilla. Your site may not look the same on a PC as it does on a Mac. This can be very frustrating because new designs are often a labor of love.

There’s nothing more frustrating than finding out your design/coding only works correctly on Firefox or only on IE.

So without having to buy a Mac and a PC, and without having to install every operating system known to man. Well, there’s an easy solution, and it is FREE!

Visit browsershots.org. Enter your URL or page you want to test. Then check off the browsers you’d like to use. Click submit.

Refresh the page in a few minutes and the system will have uploaded screenshots of your site in all the browsers you selected. Then, you can verify for yourself that your page is in fact displaying correctly. If not, you’ll see that too.

Give it a try, and let us know how it went.
