Different Views in Different Browsers

[Doug Mazzacua]

I noticed that that <ul> lists display differently with <br> between
<li>s in IE and Mozilla.

Does anyone know of a reference that catalogs all of the known types
of differences in display between browsers? Or do you all just do
multiple tests of all your pages?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

If you must post to multiple newsgroups, cross post and set a follow-up
group. Never multi-post.

I am not aware of any such documentation..
Othwise we would not have all the probs with all the different browsers
around the place.
Or do you all just do

multiple tests of all your pages?

You should be doing that anyway regardless of what browser you are
testing on.
As a reference I use IE6 as my default browser but have a copy of
FireFox to use as a development tool. (specifically to test web pages).

Pondering the eternal question of "Hobnobs or Rich Tea?", Doug Mazzacua
finally proclaimed:

You mean something like this?

<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<br>
<li>Item 2</li>
<br>
....
<li>Item n</li>
</ul>

Well it is *invalid* code, so I'm not surprised that it looks different
on different browsers. If you meant having the line breaks *within* the
list items, then I haven't come across that problem before.

Why on earth would one put br between list items? You're lucky that
combination gests displayed for it is no valid code I know of.

To control line spacing? I'm not sure, but usually there is a reason.

Yes, that is correct, I was using the <br> to control line spacing.
Isn't that the intent of <br>? Why else would anyone use <br>?

If using <br> in an unordered list is invalid, how would you put space
between unordered list items?

Someone already answered that in one of the other newsgroups you
multiposted to.
