Assignment Five
In this assignment you will compare multiple browsers. If you are on your own machine, you may need to download some different browsers to complete this. If you are on a lab machine, you should be able to temporarily download any browser for the time it takes to do this lab.
Get 3 browsers running --
  • Position your browsers on the screen so you can see them all at the same time. Compare each browser to the others.
  • Use your favorite browser and visit a few of the websites you are familiar with.
  • Bring each site up in all 3 browsers as you view them. Do they look the same in every browser ??
  • Try to locate at least 1 or 2 websites that look different when viewed within 2 different browsers.
Extra Credit: Anyone who can find a drastic difference (does not work or function in a browser), include that in your submission to me
Lab Submission --
  • Send me your list of websites that are different based on the browser you use to view them.
  • Send your assignment as an attachment to  ncook@ccsf.edu
You can use Microsoft Office, Open Office or LibreOffice to do this assignment. (Both Open Office and LibreOffice are free).
If you are using a Mac, make sure to convert your attachment to a format I can open -- any one of those software packages listed above will work.
Attach your document to an email with 'CNIT 131 - Lab 5 ' as the subject. Don't forget to include your name in the body of the email.
