HTML - Ie Makes More Spacing Between Text Compared To Firefox
Hi,
I have a site that goes over about 3 pages in length and in the IE the page is longer than in firefox. This is really annoying when you have next to the page a sidebar that is supposed to have the same length as the page but in the IE the sidebar does not reach the end of the page (because the page is longer due to larger spacing). To me it seems that IE makes more spaces between the text lines like h1, h2, p, etc. Is this a common problem and is there any solution to this? Similar TutorialsI've just used adobe browser lab to look at my website in windows browsers and it looks awful and I have no idea why. All my floats seem to have collapsed. Can anyone point me as to what I may have done wrong? Here is my website Hello all, I have recently swapped from IE to Firefox, and realised in the process that my navigation bars have excessive spacing when displayed through firefox. The site is http://www.aboutfarthings.co.uk I have had a try but keep messing up the formatting. The site was created/is edited using Namo Web Editor 6.0 , and the nav bars are Namo standard bars. Any help/advice appreciated. Colin G. Hi! My site finally seems to work fine in IE, but now that I'm checking it with Firefox, it turns out to have many problems. I fixed most of them, but the one that's bugging me is that the main text is lower than it should be.

Thank you very much! Can anyone tell me why? Not sure what is going on here... Here is a link to the development site where you can see the problem I am having (I did not design it, but I am in charge of changing to html). http://www.vismarkgroup.com/dev/Kyrie/about.html Thanks!! I hand coded my website myself, but whilst working perfectly in IE, there are some problems when viewing it using Firefox. Specifically, the table rows have double-spacings (scroll down to the 'Education' section he www.lombrozo.co.uk/resume.html), and also table borders have a 3D look (a black border to emphasise the shadow), again, this shadow is not visible in IE... Any ideas anyone? Any help would be most appreciated! Hi, I am designing my first website by teaching myself HTML using google, etc, so I am very new to designing from scratch (without using Dreamweaver, etc). My webpage is not online yet, so I can't post a link - sorry! First, I am using .png image files which look great in Google Chrome, but when I check my page in IE, the images look horrible - very pixelated. Why is that, and is there a way to fix them? My only thought would be to use a "smoothed out" image such as a .jpg, however that might make the problem even worse. Second, I am using frames and in my main frame I'm using a table with text on the left column and an image on the right column. Again, in Google Chrome it looks great with the text at the very top of the frame/table, but in Firefox, there is tons of space at the top of the table which makes the text too "tall" for the window, and a scroll bar is necessary. I hope I've explained this properly and would greatly appreciate your help - I have many more questions as well! Thanks so much, Kristen Hello, I have a table text spacing problem. I'm trying to have two text elements (p's, spans's, whatever) stacked vertically or as close as possible underneath one of other. I cannot for the life of me remove the gap in between. I've tried margins, padding, cellpadding/cellspacing, border-collapse, and still, nothing works. I've attached an example using primitive HTML. Anyone have any ideas? The code: Code: <table width="650" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td>TEXT</td> </tr> <tr> <td>TEXT2</td> </tr> </table> Thanks! Edit: Line-height did the trick. i want to space out my text a bit more, i think it's too close together but i dont' know how to fix it, please help! http://leilanimunter.com/news.htm THANK YOU!!! hi i am new to HTML, but a quick learner. i am really stuck though.....i am trying to change the font and size on a simple paragraph on my website.....here is the HTML i put in <p align=center> <font size="4" face="century gothic" > ********** my text ********* l</font> but now the lines in the paragraph are really squished together vertically......is there a HTML code i am missing to add in here is a link to see what it looks like.....http://www.cocosshoppe.com/store/eco...?idCategory=76 Please find it in your really smart hearts to help me ;J I am designing a site that uses a size-specific template, therefore, the size cannot change vertically so I have utilized a scroll bar in my body text. <table height="340" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width:400px;"> <tr> <td><div style="overflow:auto; height:340px; cellpadding:0; width:519px"> body text goes here The scrollbar works fine, but the text butts up right against it. Changing the cellpadding does not give me space between the text and scrollbar, just between the table edge and the scrollbar. [the scrollbar fits inside the table size]. Is there a way to insert extra space between the right side of the text and scrollbar? Thank you for your help! Staci Having a problem with divisions, as far as i am aware the contents of a division portrays the length of any division. Correct? Is there any way i can make the division wider to enable me to have space either side of my text? Thanks CW hi, i've a very simple html page, where i have an iframe. The problem is that i want to add some text below the iframe. however, my text keeps showing up on the right hand side of the iframe. i've looked at the tutorials discussing the tags available for iframe, but surprisingly, none seem to relevant to this. Code: <html> <body> <table border="0" cellspacing="10"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="left"> <td valign="top"> <iframe src="mySource.jsp" height="700" width="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto"></iframe> </td> </table> This should be displayed below the iframe but actually gets displayed on the right </body> </html> any help / guidance in this will be much appreciated. thanks in advance! I want to use HTML to make the following task... I little link, when someone clicks on it, it displays an image at the top of it (Not load a whole new page with an image) Example Say you have this link linky I want when people click on it, it displays an image above it Can this be done using HTML? Thanks Hi I noticed that ie6 renders paragraph breakline spaces bigger than ie7 or FF. I got around it by using <br /><br /> instead of <p></p>, but is there a proper workaround to make ie6 conform? Also also tried stipulating the CSS for the p tags, but to no avail: .maintext { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; color:#fff; text-align:justify; line-height:100%; } .maintext p { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; color:#fff; text-align:justify; line-height:100%; } Cheers Shaun Im trying to create a simple thing for my business. What im trying to do is have the image of each of my employees and under it have their name and other info. I want the images side by side with some space and able to put their info under it. Can someone help me with a html code? thanks! hello.. so i want to make a website that has the same features as THIS ONE where you have to click on all the links that are on there before entering the site. if click ENTER it wont let you continue unless you have clicked on all the ADD images. thats the only example i found. how do you do that??? thank you for your help! Hi, adding rows with the clear:both; attribute causes a huge slow-down and I need an alternative or a solution. I'm composing a friend's resume in html. I'm using nested divs to create a two column format. Each row is a div block that contains two smaller divs--one for each column. Each row uses the attribute clear:both; so that the next row will form cleanly beneath it. I am getting the desired format, but as I add more and more rows, the web browser becomes dramatically slower. 20 rows will make the page un-loadable and the browser crashes. Am I doing something wrong or is there another way to do this? http://www.asapd4nola.com/ The middle body text goes over the top horizontal navigation bar inside of Firefox. In IE, it looks fine. What code am I missing? Any help would be great! Hey everyone, Im pretty new with HTML & CSS. I mostly just make small changes on Dreamweaver so I dont have to get a web guy for changing a sentence here and there. My issue: I almost always use Firefox and looked at my changes on this browser.... Once I looked at IE for my page, there are weird symbols. Does anyone know why this is occuring? Its on my header for "Se Habla Espanol" and on any symbols in the text. Here is a couple links to good pages & pages with the weird symbols. http://www.firstchoicedebtrelief.com/about-us/ http://www.firstchoicedebtrelief.com/debt-settlement/ here is the text example im referring to. This debt relief strategy requires that you stop making payments to creditors entirely. Instead, you save your “payments” in a special account. When that amount approaches 40%-60% of one of your account balances, your debt settlement negotiator contacts your creditor and offers to settle for that lump sum on the spot. Thanks so much to anyone who can help...... Issues like this can take me forever to figure out. Problem Solved, Thanks everyone |
