Articles :: Firefox :: Equalizer for Firefox
written by Toby Miller on November 4, 2005 November 4, 2005
In case you're not familiar with my Equalizer project it's basically just an attempt to create a stylesheet that "equalizes" the browser experience for developers. I try to do this by pre-defining all of the tag rules before any custom styles are applied. Theoretically if all styles start out equal they should end up equal. A pre-load of those rules should accomplish this ... and to a large extent "equalizer.css" seems to do this successfully.
Anyhow, the topic is "Equalizer for Firefox?". Did you know that Firefox uses the same theory about how web sites decide how to defaultly layout? Well it does, load the following URLs into Firefox and you'll see what I mean:
resource://gre/res/EditorOverride.css
resource://gre/res/forms.css
resource://gre/res/html.css
resource://gre/res/mathml.css
resource://gre/res/platform-forms.css
resource://gre/res/quirk.css
resource://gre/res/ua.css
resource://gre/res/viewsource.css
(note: you'll have to copy and paste them into the URL field yourself)
Pretty cool huh? Now I wonder what would happen if you loaded these (manually) into IE instead of Firefox. Would your pages defaultly render the way Firefox renders them or the way IE renders them? Sound like it's at least worth experimenting with.
See what you can do; create another type of equalizer, make your view-source white on black instead of black on white, who knows?
