CSS - Firefox Size Of Text
I have a website created with absolute positioning. So when someone increases the font of the text on the page (with the view menu for the browser), some of my text may run outside of the images that they are placed over. I had this problem with IE as well as firefox, but set all of the text with font-size in my CSS file. Now IE works perfectly, but in firefox, the size of the text can still be increased, thus, making the text expand outside of the images. How can I prevent this in firefox?
Second question... is there a way to set the size of the actual bullets themselves to a set size so they dont increase/decrease? I'm referring to the bullets, and not the text beside the bullets... I may go with images for the bullets, but was trying to prevent that. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Similar TutorialsOkay here's the problem, I have used px instead of % and I have a feeling it's ruined my whole site because of the fact that users can set their font size custom which TOTALLY messes up margins and things that I have set so precisely. Here is my site: www.msredimp.000webhost.info At small it works perfectly and the forms stay all normal, but when it's increased or decreased it totally ruins it. Is there a way to force the settings in Mozilla to normal size? Or any other way? Thank you, and sorry for being such a newbie. Ok so this is probably really basic but I'm tearing my hair out. the page is http://fireshui.com/about.php the css is http://fireshui.com/global/styles2.css I used to use the bigtitle class for headers (you can see an example of this at http://fireshui.com/mtglinks.php). One day I looked in IE and it wasn't showing up right. So I decided to change it to the proper way of using h1, h2, etc. In Firefox, the size for h1 is right - it's 110% of the normal text. In IE, it's really huge, which I don't want. On a side note, if you checked out http://fireshui.com/mtglinks.php, why exactly is the bigtitle class not working? I used to use fixed sizes before I found out they were bad, the old css is at http://fireshui.com/global/styles.css, and that doesn't work either. This is all hugely confusing. Thanks for any help you can offer!! :-) Hello all! I'm having an odd problem. I have a select box and a textarea right next to each other that need to be the exact same dimensions. I figure, easy, just set the height and width via CSS properties, but that doesn't seem to be accurate at all - in either browser. I got out a neat program called pixel ruler to see exactly how many pixels each is displayed with. This is what happens: ie - Not counting borders, the textarea is the exact width and height. The select box is correct width (not counting the border. If you include the 1px standard blue border on any of these, they are 2px too wide or tall). However, the height of the select box(very annoying) seems to be somewhat ignored in that ie forces the select box to end at the end of a row, so giving it a height will just approximate a row number. It would be nice if I could fix this. Any thoughts on that? firefox- Not including the border, the select box is 2px too few in both the width and height. If you include the border it is exact. (which means that ie and ff are going to be hard to match.) But here is the REAL puzzler and the biggest reason for the post. Firefox seems to get the textarea size completely wrong. Not including the border, it is 2px too wide and tall! If you include the border, it is then 4px too wide and tall. I have no padding or margins on these by the way, so that can't be the answer. Any thought as to why firefox is putting extra width and height on textareas? Or any suggestions on making a textarea and select the same size in both ff and ie? Thanks! I have a problem with this site - shop dot meenola dot com (Sorry - i am a new member and therefore cannot post a proper URL) - In FF the page is always scrollable to the right although there is nothing there and as far as i can tell the HTML ends in the initially viewable area. Not usually a problem for most - but using a macbook scrollpad, you tend to fly "offscreen" rather easily. Have tested in Chrome, IE, Opera and Safari - all of which display correctly (The page ends when the HTML does). Any ideas? Thanks /Adam Having a strange problem with textarea font sizes in Firefox (1.06) See here - http://www.4L.ie/contact.php Text entered in the text fields is appearing correctly, but when entering text into the "Your Query" textarea, the font-size is noticeably smaller and less legible. It appears fine in IE6. My CSS relating to fonts is as follows: Code:
body {
font: 76% verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}
input, select, textarea {
font-size: 1em;
}
If I use pixels (ie font-size: 12px) there is no problem. Ems and % seems to mess things up. Anybody able to shed some light on this? A possible bug in Firefox 1.06? Thanks in advance. Hi all, Just an opinion I would like to get from the folks here. For example: Let say you create a navigation bar thats contained within a div. You make a background image that is gradient from top to middle to bottom - dark/light/dark. You add your text links and align them over the middle lighter area of the div background, looks great. Now do you compensate for someone using a different text size? Maybe creating 3 different DIVS - two to fade from dark to light both ways, and the middle one being the light color of the gradient to hold the text? Or do you just forget about it and let the background repeat if the font size changes? This is one of those pet peave things of mine, where I'd create images for links and have the peace of mind that my design won't be broken. I made a new site design in pure css, that in my opinion looks sweet, but I'm ready to trash it and go back to a table/image heavy design because I can't have absolute control of how it will look with all the variables considered. Would love to hear opinions! Hi I'm working ona site at the moment: (URL address blocked: See forum rules) The site is fine up to now, however when I change the size of the text in my browser settings to larger in firefox it ruins the look of the page, ie it puts everything out. Is there a way I can design the page elements so that they can accommodate larger text size and expand? At the moment all of the elements use jpeg images created in photoshop. Thanks for any help! I've been using a 3 column fluid layout and so far so good - works in all browsers and resolutions with some standard hacks... Except with huge text sizes in Firefox. I've used ems all the way and was wondering what the majority of people do when considering how much work to put in to ensure that people with really really poor eyesight can actually get the same experience as everyone else. I tried expanding the text size on dozens of major websites and it appears there probably is some limit where it's not worth considering fixing overflowing divs on large text size. So what does everyone else do? Is this the right place to ask? I'm in need of help in this CSS coding. I used class to divine different font styles in the same page. But my question is how to set a standard or force a fix font size to the browser. HEre is an example of a website whereby when I use the IE's View -> Text Size -> Largest or Smallest option, it doesn't change the font size! http://www.htmlite.com I've looked at its css file and I still can't find a clue to which code which makes the font size stays as it is. Anyone can help, please?? I have this problem making this menu and I have multible <h1></h1> on each title of the of stuff. It seems that the text gets bigger and bigger then when its to big then the text in the <h1> goes back smaller. Is there a way to fix this? Here is my code. Code: h1 { font-family: cursive, sans serif;
font-weight: normal; font-size: 200%; font-style: cursive;}
EDIT:The strange thing is that I know of this wird effect only happens in IE. Thank you, sorry to be a bother but I do want to have a good first impression on my site that I am working for Ernies Bar & Grill at my town. Hi, This is only happens in IE, in firefox (the only 2 browsers I tested) works fine. http://nazgulled.no.sapo.pt/test.html There's only one image inside the <div> tag, and I have set that div tag style to have a 10px height. But that doesn't work on IE... it's like there were some spaces wich because of the font-size it makes the height be more than 10px.... I wanted to fix that but how can I do it? One solution is to make the div tag like this: Code: <div id="test"><img src="spect.gif" width="300" height="10" /></div> instead of this: Code: <div id="test"> <img src="spect.gif" width="300" height="10" /> </div> But I don't want to fix it that way... Any help would be hot, thanks. how can you specify a new font size in a select list. I need to make the items appearing in that list smaller than they already are. Hi all, I would like to get the user to be able to change their background/and or text size at the click of a button. I was going to try and use multiple sheets, but am not sure of the most effective way of doing this. For an example of what I mean, search for "Disability Rights Commision" on Google. Hey, wondering if any of you could help me with regards to syntax needed in CSS (im guessing) to make text fields in a form taller and wider? Thanks,Sean Hello: I am building a website for a broad audience. I need there to be an option for text to be resized for those who have trouble with reading screens. I am trying to have the text on HTML pages be changeable through CSS. Two examples I offer are (URL address blocked: See forum rules) and (URL address blocked: See forum rules) On the top right corner of the screen, there are options to change the text size without switching to a new HTML page. I believe this is done using CSS (perhaps Live StyleSheet Selector). I'm not really sure. If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it. Thanks! Deanna hi all ! I want to know how I can change the text size and color for a button created inside my page (only for the button the rest should remain the same). The data and button are created in PHP so it looks something like: Code: <div class="column3">
<div class="padding">
<?php if( $this->countModules('right') ): ?>
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="right" style="xhtml" />
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
And css for that part of the page is: Code: #index .box .column3 {width:252px;}
I am having few html pages with external CSS used. Now when i want to change the brower text using View->Text size, its not allowing. Yes, i can change the font size in my CSS but I dont want all should see in the same font. Few people viewing those pages may not like that font. So, Can any body help me to find out how to change the text size of an html page having CSS. I'm trying to resize links on hover but doing so they change their vertical alignment during hover. Is there a way to prevent this ? Basically I just want the text to be bottom aligned and stay that way on hover. "text-align: top" works, but thats not what I want. simple example: CSS: Code:
a:link, a:visited, a:active {
font-size: 1em;
}
a:hover {
font-size: 1.5em;
}
HTML: Code:
<div>
<a href="#">Text</a>
</div>
Hi, Can anyone recommend how best to how to dynamically constrain amount of Text/Content in a DIV area that can vary in size?? That is, say you have: (a) a content (DIV) area on your view that can expand/contract depending upon browser size ( i.e. when someone is re-sizing the browser window) and (b) dynamic text/content that is to be displayed, based upon user input - e.g. image a defined area/size for several user comments for example. Users can create their own comments, but you only want them to be able to take up a given amount of screen resource, and then perhaps have a "...more" link at the bottom if they go over. How can I best setup this up? e.g. (1) How to setup the layout/CSS so that if more text / content is present in the DIV area that can be displayed that the DIV area doesn't expand due to the extra content the user put forward, and/or (2) Do I need to also complete this by programming what content comes out? E.g. in Ruby on Rails say then the question would be how to calculate how much text/content can fit in the current size of the DIV (noting browser re-sizing) so that you get the chance to put the "...more" link at the bottom? Hopefully this approach isn't required. Any other suggestions welcome that address what I'm trying to do are welcome, which is really offering a area for display of user feedback where each piece of feedback has a maximum area it can take on the main screen only, and also that browser re-sizing is possible. Tks Greg Hi there, I'm completely new to CSS. I'm trying to do this more than one hour but can't get it right. Code: <font color='white'><font size='1' face=verdana size=1> I couldn't find the equivalent of this in CSS This is my last experiment but it doesn't seem to work either Code: fontstyle { color : #FFFFFF; font-family : verdana ; font-size :1;}
