It doesnt work at all? I am IE oh noooooooo!!!!!
It really doesnt even work?
Please specify.
Best wishes,
I don't believe in pages that follows the W3C rules and don't work in all browsers. :-)
If you right click the page in Firefox and the "page info" says that the page is in "Standards compliance mode" it will work in all browsers with only minors quirks.
If the page info says that it is in "quirks mode", please consider to test the page against http://validator.w3.org/
Good luck! ;-)
the problem here is that our game is also dependable on some ajax/dragndrop javascripts and IE is very bad tempered with those.
the main line here is: I plan to, in a long term future, make our site work on more browsers. But for now the truth is that it only looks good on firefox.
Sorry guys, we will try our best! But sometimes we just dont have enough men/hours!
an add: our game pages ARE on "standard compliance mode". but it seems that IE doesnt agree with that status :).
LeeHamo,
You will mainly have problems with our formation screen. Other than that, you will see unaligned/malformed site pages.
My advice: you can maintain i. explorer as your favorite browser and use firefox just to play rubysoccer.
The coexistence of 2 or more browsers in the same operational system is more than ok: it is common. Trust me, it wont hurt your windows installation.
My real advice would be for you to start using firefox 100% of your time, but It is really up to you. Maybe after using it a little bit on rubysoccer you will decide to stop using IE, who knows? :)
best wishes
old question:
what about opera?
Hi all,
I installed firefox from mozilla website and it is set as my default browser, imported all my favourites, bookmarks etc and am using it right now to view the blog, I will continue to use it and see what the differences are, if I like it better than IE I will keep it, I will always use it for Ruby soccer if it is that bad to use on IE ( I will test both ).
Firefox doesnt seem any different up to now apart from the font.
Best wishes,
I was a die-hard IE user up until 1 year ago when I read about the strong security component of Firefox as well as the (quite useful) plugins feature.
Well, i've still kept IE on my personal & work computer but use Firefox most of the time and I haven't looked back. They're both practically the same in terms of usability (in my opinion) but I prefer encouraging "open source" software as much as possible.
You guys clearly have a preference for Firefox which is fine, but whatever your opinions of the virtues of different browsers, the fact remains that the vast majority of users throughout the world use IE, especially businesses. Don't forget that many people would want to access the site from work using a corporate network where you don't have a choice of installing a different browser and so will be stuck with IE.
Are you guys doing this for fun or do you have any aspirations to use this as a commercial venture? If you plan to make any money out of this in future then it simply must work fully with IE, no discussion.
In my opinion, you should seriously consider making it more compliant with IE from the outset rather than as an after thought when the code gets more complicated and harder to change.
Hi Neil,
You're right, we do have a preference for Firefox and that's why we've tried to make everything look good on Firefox and then found out that IE messed up our alignments and drag and drop stuff. We understand that on corporate networks you may not have the choice of installing Firefox but the game will still be playable on IE, Opera and other browsers. Any workarounds needed for IE will be published in our wiki (yes, we'll have one) or game help.
Now about our intentions, well, we're doing it just for fun, and we plan to keep the game free no matter what. That was our motivation to start everything, have a good online soccer management game where everybody could play for free.
We will not quit on IE, we simply don't have the time to work it out right now as we still need to finish some basic features for the first version. I don't think it will be harder to make the game IE compliant later, as it is mainly related to UI, not the game code itself.
So if you can install Firefox please do it, you'll have a better game experience. If you can't, you'll be able to play the game as well, but may become bothered by the bad alignment and lousy drag and drop.
Cheers.
Well in that case I don't think anyone can complain too much about bad alignments if it remains free, especially if the gameplay is anywhere near as good as SoccerSim! This is looking really exciting, I hope it becomes the game that SS could have been with more development. Good luck guys.
