Tracking differences btw Mozilla and IE 6.0 for application developmen

[Hitesh]

Hey this is my first time here.

Well I have to say that I have little experience when it comes to understanding the subtleties between Mozilla and IE 6.0 in terms of HTML and JavaScript.

I am working on an application that was designed to work on IE 6.0. The previous developer told me that he tried to make it conform to W3C standards. However when I tested it on Mozilla, there were noticeable changes ie. forms no longer in the center but shifted to the far right.

I figured out to fix that problem(I don't know the changes I have made will be acceptable. I did it by changing the values. The changed values didn't affect IE but it affected Mozilla. I don't know why. I thought it should affect both). But I am sure that there are other problems that may not be noticed in IE 6.0 but will be noticed in Mozilla. How do I check the code and make sure that it will work on Mozilla almost the same way that it works on IE? I know that Mozilla is different from IE in terms of technical performance. But how do I hide the difference from the end user in all aspects of performance of the application that I am working on?

Also I am using SVG for the application I am working on. Please do tell me the difference btw Mozilla and IE 6.0 when it comes to SVG. SVG is a critical component in that application.

Usually the best way is to make sure that the code validates to the w3c.

IE6 does not support SVG. To get SVG to work in Mozilla, you need to either build it yourself, or go looking for as SVG build. More likely you'll be using for an SVG plugin, like the one from Adobe.
