Hi all,
Im new here and hope I can get help from you all. I am a beginner in software development and right now I am using internet explorer but it gives some problems during page testing. I am unable to understand that what is the exact problem is. Should I use another browser or recheck my program codes? Help me please.
Thanks in advance!

Firefox is a must have. IE is less safe compared to Firefox. But Firefox has lately been know to crash.

In IE, disable "Show friendly HTTP error messages".

Only under no firewall + AVG free -

Hey, if you are confident that your coding is errorless then I would suggest you to check your pages in another browser. If it still does not work then you should check your program codes. However, there are many browsers available on the net that you can download easily. Here is a site called http://www.browsers-review.com Hope this will help you.
Best of luck! -
However, don't use IE as your primary browser because... it sucks.
Develop for a reasonably standards compliant browser such as Firefox or Opera (Firefox has the huge advantage of some kick-ass web development addons. You *really* want to get Firebug. Seriously)
And then test in IE from time to time, and do whatever hacks are necessary to allow IE to render the page correctly.
Using Firefox with the Firebug addon makes it much easier to pinpoint problems, but in the end, you still have to just understand the standards, and do your research when you run into problems. -
Even if IE is not the best browser, you should always make sure that your code works in it (even if it requires non standard code/hacks), because it is still the most widely used browser. but for testing purposes, better to several different browsers.

Yeah, but developing for Firefox first is imo the least painful approach.
(Both because you'll get more standards-compliant code, which makes it slightly easier to port to other browsers afterwards, and because of the kick-ass web developer addons *cough cough install Firebug*)
But yeah, you definitely need to test on IE as well. But fix as many bugs as you can in other browsers, and then take only the IE-specific ones in IE.
Can anyone help me?
