Does anyone know who would be the right person to contact about the fact
that some BBC News pages now (as in, it only started very recently) appear
quite different in Opera 9 to Firefox and IE? It's only the body text font
size on pages with a <div class="storybody">, which makes me think it's
probably not deliberate. :-)
For example, this one is currently the same in all here:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7282385.stm
But this one http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7288820.stm looks like this:
Firefox/IE : http://bbc.dracos.co.uk/bbc-font-ff.png
Opera 9 : http://bbc.dracos.co.uk/bbc-font-opera.png
My default font size is the same in all browsers. It appears that in Quirks
Mode, Opera displays font-size:small etc. differently to in Standards mode:
http://bbc.dracos.co.uk/test-standard.html
http://bbc.dracos.co.uk/test-quirk.html
As http://www.opera.com/docs/specs/doctype/ says:
"CSS font sizes are increased by one in quirks mode compared to Standards
mode: In Internet Explorer/Windows (except IE6 in standards compliant mode)
font-size: small is interpreted as the initial font size. Opera in Quirks
Mode emulates this behavior, but uses font-size: medium in Standards Mode.
This means that the absolute font size keywords are "one size larger" in
Quirks Mode."
