I am in college for Web Design and in my HTML class, we are working with different browsers. We discuss our pages and how they appear in IE, Netscape, and Mozilla. But Firefox is considered a fad, and we aren't even suppossed to worry about how they appear in it. Who knows, HTML changes daily, and it may change with Firefox, but until then, I will just use IE. Although I have internet through Walmart Connect. The worst possible ISP... I have no clue what browser they use, and it sucks donkey balls.

I now use a combination of firefox & IE. I didn't like firefox at first, slow as hell and the basic setup is total crap, but I found a site that had a lot of firefox options and they made it run way faster & added the tabs. I like the way firefox remembers the logins and of course the tabs are neat too. IE is perfectly fine though too.
I doubt firefox is a fad, netscape certainly is - forget netscape it is totally dead browser

Your instructor is a complete flippin' idiot. You are supposed to worry about how your pages appear in EVERY browser, if you want your site to be attractive to all. Some use IE, some use Firefox, some use Mozilla, some us Netscape (Firefox, Mozilla, and Netscape all use the same rendering engine, Gecko), some use Opera...hell, some even use Lynx. In order to be a web designer worth your salt, your pages HAVE to look good in nigh every browser. That is basic web design. If your instructor does not teach that, I would suggest finding a different school, because that dude obviously hasn't the faintest clue about good web design.
Best bet: Always test your sites in the Big Three: IE, Firefox/Mozilla/Netscape/Camino, Opera, and also in a text-based browser like Lynx. If you have the means, it's also beneficial to test it in old versions of Netscape and/or IE, as well as in Konqueror/Safari, PalmOS's browser, WindowsCE's browser, and cell phones.
Oh, and your ISP does not dictate what browser you have to use.

No web designer worth his “salt” is going to open his page to preview it in every browser possible. The number would be too many to consider. Besides, I was referring to the html portion. Nobody codes the page to have specific effects in a single browser browser. For example I am not going to code a blink tag for only Netscape knowing it is not the only browser available. If you keep up to your w3c standards, your page will display correctly in ANY browser except the really old ones, brand new and still uncommonly used, or cell phones and PDA’s. This is why you code your images appropriately. Besides any decent web developer isn’t going to open a notebook and write out all his/her html. They will use a specific program like Dreamweaver that codes it in correspondence the standards of when the software was released. Some codes are easier to write out then insert into the page, but majority of the effects can be created by the software. Most browsers still read the html codes loosely, so you don’t have to consider it as deeply as you may think. In a few years, pages written today without consideration to the w3c standards will not be able to be viewed on the most recent edition of IE, Mozilla, Firefox, ect. But then you have the unique browsers like my ISP uses. No way can any person consider all the angles because the internet and www is always changing.
And for the record, I don't love IE either, but since it is so commonly used, I have to use it for class.

Holy shit whoever the hell is teaching you about HTML is a dumbass. First of all, Dreamweaver sucks ass, whoever the hell told you that no decent web designer codes in notepad is screwing with you. Notepad is the best way to program HTML, period. If you want to get into more complicated coding, server side scripting, there are rather good editors for them, but HTML... it's too simple and pathetic to have a quality IDE, which it doesn't. Besides, Macromedia sucks in general, they can't make anything of semi-decent quality.
In a few years, pages written today without consideration to the w3c standards will not be able to be viewed on the most recent edition of IE, Mozilla, Firefox, ect.
In case you haven't noticed, pages written to W3C standards don't display properly in IE now.
Firefox is not a fad, it's the main browser that Mozilla pushes, the Mozilla suite is being pretty much neglected and coding for it will get you nowhere. It's too bulky and slow to be used by standard users, nobody uses it. Netscape is just retarded, they died years ago and nothing they can do will make a comeback. Browsers are simple programs that just need to display standardized code. Firefox does that, IE doesn't.
Either way ive used Firefox and it screwed up streaming media on launch.com so i give you a
That's not Firefox's fault. Launch.com refuses to support Firefox, if anything they make supports IE and Netscape it by definition will show properly in Firefox. Launch.com probably also uses some ActiveX, which is so damn risky to use that you'd have to have the IQ of a retarded slug to think it's safe to use. There are so many holes in that alone that it can be considered seperate of IE's folly.

IOW, make your site platform-independent. Best way to test this? Look at it in a few different browsers. It takes like two seconds.

huh? Are you out of your vulcan mind? Nobody but an idiot is going to code in notepad - that's just a bizarre statement.
Dreamweaver is actually a great program. Dreamweaver MX is one hell of a productivity tool. There is nothing else out there that is a valuable as dreamweaver and i've tested them all. You must be getting confused with Frontpage.
