HTML - Browser Text Sizes
Hey i am just wondering why text size changes between browsers if you set it at a certain size.
I set my text at 11px print, and the size from mozilla -> ie6 changes (gets bigger in ie6) but even greater difference in ie7... is there a way to make them all the same for sure without recoding for each browser? thanks in advance, -uberwalla Similar TutorialsHello. I'm back again. This time I have a different problem: Because the text sizes in IE are much smaller than in Firefox, the alignment of certain divs comes out disarranged. Notice that in FF, the big red box's position begins at midpoint of the contact us navigation. But, in IE it begins a big close to the end. I think this is due to the different text sizes. I was wondering if I could use javascript to test which browser is currently being viewed, and base on the browser type it would switch between css to correct the differences? (Sorry for the overly huge images) Also, I'll post the code later. How can I make it so that the end user can choose between three text sizes like is done here http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=294191 Thanks in advance BW I was wondering on the board's opinion. Basically, the ALTtext element used in image display, provides two things: 1. Replacement text if the image should be abscent so that you can easily reference which image is missing and replace it. 2. Mouseover text of the image so surfers can get short extra information about the image. Now, you may argue that a Browser should come set as default to ignore mouseover text. However, there is a reason why many web developers still use this in preference to an image title. The reason being that it is extra programming for the developer to type out additional code which merely plays the same role as the original Alt attribute. Some argue that the programmer shouldn't even give an Alt value! Sadly, in turn many browsers are unfortunately becoming designed without the Alt text attribute, making many Alt-text-specific sites hard to understand. If you honestly find a small bit of mouseover text which really only exists for a fraction of a second intrusive of your surfing time then you've got issues. Who agrees? Hello All, I cant seem to lock a form and images in a browser, I have all center and when it opens it remains centered but when I shrink the browser window the images/form moves... My CSS is <style type="text/css"> <!-- body { background-image: url(); margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; } --> </style></head> <style type="text/css"> <!-- #centerDIV0 { width: 100%; text-align: justify; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; left: 0px; top: 0px; right: 0px; bottom: 0px; visibility: visible; background-image: url(CS_bkgd.jpg); background-repeat: repeat; } #centerDIVX { text-align: center; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: middle; z-index: 2; left: 0px; top: 0px; right: 0px; bottom: 0px; width: 100%; } #centerDIVZ { z-index: 2; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; left: 0px; top: 0px; right: 0px; bottom: 0px; margin-top: 380px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; visibility: visible; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: -300px; } --> </style> And Html is... <body> <div id = "centerDIV0"> </div> <div id="centerDIVX"><img src="CS_bkgd.gif"/></div> <div id="centerDIVZ" bgproperties="fixed"> <form action="mailto:tastetation301@yahoo.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain" onsubmit="location.href='thanks.html'"> <p><br/> <strong>Name:</strong> <input type="text" STYLE="color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; background-color: #000000;" size="0" maxlength="50" align="justify"/> <br/> <strong>Email: </strong><input type="text"STYLE="color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; background-color: #000000;" size="0" maxlength="50" align="justify"/> </p> <input type="submit" value="Submit"/><input type="reset" value="Reset"> </form> </div> </body> </html> THANKS FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE!!!! Currently i have this bit of code on this site(www.rrelive.com/again/index.html) <form name="myform" onSubmit="location.href=document.myform.mytext.value"> <input type="text" name="mytext" onChange="location.href=document.myform.mytext.value"> <input type="button" onClick="location.href=document.myform.mytext.value" value="Go"> </form> But everytime i press enter it doesnt excecute the buttons code, so then it says the wrong thing in the URL Right now i want it to say"www.rrelive.com/again/hello" if i write hello in the box and hit enter.

I'm using tables and I have text inside one table. When I add line height to text so it looks good in IE6, Safari and Google Chrome, it looks wrong in FireFox and Opera. Every line is over each other. How could I fix this? Here is the code from start to end of the text part: Code: <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" /> <title>my site</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <style type="text/css"> <!-- body { background-image:url('tausta.jpg'); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-attachment:fixed; background-position:center; } .style1 { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #FFFFFF; line-height: 5%; } .style2 {color: # color: #999999; color: #999999; } .style4 {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #999999; line-height: 5%; } .style5 {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #999999; line-height: 5%; font-weight: bold; } --> </style></head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"> <div class="page"> <table id="Table_01" width="912" height="543" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td rowspan="14" width="176" height="542" valign="top"><div align="right" class="style1"> <p class="style2"> </p> <p class="style2"><strong><u>FILES:</u> </strong><u><br> </u><br> <br> <br> <br> </p> </div> <p align="right" class="style5">Images: </p> <p align="right" class="style4">images1 <br> <br> <br> <br> </p> <p align="right" class="style5">Videos: </p> <p align="right" class="style4">video1 </p> <p align="right" class="style4">video2 </p> <p align="right" class="style4">video3 </p> <p align="right" class="style1"><span class="style2">1 - video4 </span></p></td> Hi all, I'm new to this site, I hope someone can help me figure out what on Earth I've done wrong. I've been editing this website to a new, CSS layout with DIVs instead of frames and tables. In my browser, IE6, it looks PERFECT, but in IE7, the DIV with the navigation text is overlapping the DIV with the header image, and in Firefox 2.0.0.16, the DIVs might as well not even be there--all the text runs right on top of the image! A screencap of what it looks like in my browser is he http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...ta-browser.gif A screencap of how it's turning out in IE7: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...IE7Version.jpg Firefox screencap: http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...layout-cap.jpg I have no idea what I've done wrong, or why it shows up perfectly in one browser, but not in any other. The page used in the example is here, so you can see how it is on yours and peruse the code for mistakes: http://cityofdemons.com/lmr.html Thanks in advance for anything you can tell me! Is it possible to have some error text appear if a user is browsing your website with a certain browser using html/css or maybe java? An example being: If - The website is being browsed using Safari Then - SHOW error text = "This link won't work with the Safari browser." Else - DO NOT SHOW error text is that sort of thing viable or just a pipe dream at current? Thanks in advance. Regards, Stoney Hello dear friends, i have an problem with text box read only. Using mobile with opera mini 8.65 or 4 and i have try bolt browser and ucweb6 mobile browser anyway i can not control the browsing of the text of my text box because the scrollbar does not work.

If not possible to use the scrollbar with mobile browser could someone know how to add in the text box an button so we can browse the text by clicking up or down. I have many search in the internet the right text box with vertical scrollbar but all scrollbar could not be using by mobile browser. If you have a idea please give me your advice billion thanx by advance. I'm using the developer toolbar for FireFox and I've outlined the tables on the following web page. http://www.carlmumford.me/email Are the tables different sizes? Can someone explain to me why there is a slight change in table size when you outline them? I have the images at 600px wide and the tables are 600px with no padding. Ignore the bottom nested table because that's fine, it's the outline of the bigger tables that are bothering me. They show correctly but they are not quite lined up, is this fine? On another note, how do I get the link colours to display in gmail because they default to the nasty blue colour. I can't get them to display properly, what would you use? I'm setting up a forum page for a friend. I already found the forum and am making it so that it looks consistent with the rest of his website. Another webmaster already built his site, I'm just creating another page that will include a forum. http://goltoof.com/wchr/wchra_mboard.html This is just a test page. You'll find that I'm using iframe to embed the forum page into the webpage. The problem I'm having here is that I want the table I created to stretch to 100% of the webpage so that people won't have to scroll using the main sidebar. You'll see in firefox it only shows part of the page while in ie the forum table doesn't show at all. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong and ask me to elaborate more if my question doesn't make sense to you. Thanks. Hello This is my site: http://www.showlistportland.com When viewed in 1280 x 800 it looks perfect. If you view the page in any other size below that, it cuts the page in half. How can I make it so that at least when viewed in a smaller screen size, the ads on the left side don't get cut off? Any help would be much appreciated!!! Thank you!!! Hi, I have the following javascript which basically scrolls to a certain point of a webpage when the page loads up: <script type="text/javascript"> window.onload=function() { scrollTo(0,200); } </script> Now the problem I have is that this code behaves differently based on what screen size monitor you have. As I have a 15 inch screen monitor, all works fine. But if i view the page on a 19inch monitor, it scrolls down to a slightly different point of the page. Is there anyway round this. Can someone take a look at this page: http://www.robotsandcomputers.com/robots/index.htm in both IE and Firefox and tell me why the images in the right hand side of the screen are larger in IE than in Firefox? I have been through the code and I can cannot figure it out.. Thanks Oh, and something else... On the menu at the top of the page. On that page you notice (in Firefox) that the menu spans the entire screen. But if you click on any other link on that menu, then the menu bar is centered. I removed the <p></p> tags in the menu on the first page because in IE they were adding way too much space above and below the menu links. Is there anyway to center those links (like they are on all the other pages) but still have IE display them correctly? I hope that makes sense.... Thanks.... I am trying to make a generic html page. This page is going to switch between two htm files. For some reason I cannot get the font to increase. I need it to be about 125font size in word. Here is what I have: span class="fontsize100"><Font Color=red>test</font></span> I assume this is incorrect? I am currently having an issue where Firefox allows my images to wrap according to window size but IE puts them one by one down the page instead of putting images side by side according to window size if they will fit. Example is that I have 5 images. 4 of the images are 350pixels X 400pixels and 1 image is 700pixels X 500pixels. I have code that loops through and gets images for each section that is setup. Then I am just displaying the image in 1 line of code which loops through and displays the images for each section. I have 5 sections setup with the five images listed above. My code then displays the section images with links to the sections. <a href="<%= lTemplateFileName %>"><%= (sectionMediaFile != null) ? sectionMediaFile : "" %></a> Firefox puts images side by side and since the 700pixel image will only fit on 1 row it puts that 1 image and then the next row shows 2 images because they will fit on that row. With IE using that code it displays each image 1 by 1 on seperate rows. I want to be able to use 1 piece of code that will allow images to wrap depending if multiple images can fit on that a row. I don't want to limit a <td> to a colspan and create a table out of it. I just want the images to display as many as it can fit on a window size and wrap the next images to the next row and so on and so on. I want to make changes to the font of the posts of this section: http://foxh0und.tumblr.com/tagged/foxh0undQA I'm really not sure where to find the part for that in the HTML.. what I want to do is change the spacing between each post & have the question in bold and the answer not in bold and smaller font - an example of what I would like to do is in the link below. http://foxh0und.tumblr.com/post/11626236049 any help would be amazing because i feel like it's ruining my whole theme. Is there any way that I can set up a page with frames where the frames remain a fixed width and will stay that size even if the browser cannot show them in their entirety? This is a simplified version of what I'm trying to do (with two random sites in the frames for an example) <html> <frameset cols="800, 800"> <frame src="google.com"> <frame src="yahoo.com"> </frameset> </html> How that is working right now is that if you reduce the size of the browser then the frames also reduce in size so that they both remain on the page... I don't want this. I want the frames to remain the fixed width (800) and if the browser is not large enough to display them (<1600), I want it to have a scroll bar along the bottom to scroll further right to view them. I don't really ever use frames though, so I'm not quite sure if there's a command to throw in either frameset or frame tags or if there's something else I need to do. Thanks! here is the (ineffective) code currently: <img style="float: left; width: 169px; height: 73px;" src="img/logo1.png" alt="" /> <h1 style="text-align: center;">random text</h1> the image shifts the left margin such that the text is centered as though the page width was 169px less than it really is. i'm not debating the code itself; the code above behaves as its meant to. aka no surprises. i just cant figure out the appropriate code to center the text across the entire real width of the page as though there was no image. i've tried div tags & all the things google hunting advised. no luck. other than finding this forum, which seems like it'll be a boon! thanx in advance for advise/comments/feedback/help. |
