Hi, I'm wondering what browser (if any) Google uses for caching pages? The reason why I'm asking is that the site I wrote (my knowledge of HTML and CSS is fairly limited) displays fine in all the browsers I've tried so far, but it's screwed up in Google's cache? (the site in question is http://www.dentalfearcentral.org/). Cheers !
Its messed up because of the way you are positioning elements on the page. Using absolute will force an element into a certain position regardless of anything else on the page. Google has a huge cache info bar at the top. The rest of your page starts lower down, but the element is in the same position as it would be with out the extra stuff up top. You have a few options. Change the element to a relative positioned style. Ignore it, or block google from caching the page. Personally I wouldn't worry about it.
Google adds a whole bunch of cruft to your html in the cache. (even before the doctype declararion) Pages usually look screwed up in Google's cache. Personally I don't bother with it. So, the browser that renders what you see in the cache is your own, but it looks like this because of the added html.
Many thanks for the great explanations - I was just worried that Google might be using some browser I haven't tested yet. I won't bother changing anything.
Cheers ! The pages themselves validate on the w3 validator (both the CSS and the HTML), so I'm not going to lose any sleep over it
