Hi all,
I’m 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!

well ur eventually going to have to fix it to work in internet explorer. im assuming your talking about a site you made? i would say do both, check it out in other browsers, and then fix it for IE
Welcome!
1. As a developer, you should use more then one browser to make sure that your product will work well for all users.
2. Post the errors you are getting and maybe we can see how we can help.

Rule of thumb: Develop and test in Firefox or Opera, then debug in Internet Explorer. Don't forget about safari when your testing.

Internet Explorer isn't the most popular web browser around, so don't worry so much for it. Instead of using IE, try using other browsers, the popular ones, like Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Avant browser, etc. If you codes work in those browsers, they will work in IE.

You kidding right? As much as I hate to say it IE is the most popular browser.

If it comes packaged with the OS, it will be more popular because there are more people out there who will use what they have rather then trying new things. Sad to say, but true. I just develop in Firefox..then debug in IE like someone mentioned earlier. Seems to work out.

Only in the United States (North America?). I've heard that in Europe that Firefox has a little more then 50% of the market.

IE is def most popular, and chances are if the site looks good in firefox and opera, then it probably WONT look good in IE. but you still have to fix it. unless u have some proof to backup your bold statement?....

I wouldn't say IE is the most popular. It's the most used but definitely despised by web developers. As stated above, however, Firefox has up to 50% usage in Europe, Australia and some Asian countries.

If you know what your doing, there will be no difference between FF/Opera/etc and IE. Most of my pages work great in IE (being coded in FF), only on occasion do I have to fix anything for IE, and generally speaking it's usually pretty simple.

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!
