[css-d] Do modern mobile browsers deliberately ignore font size?

2014-03-09 Thread Ezequiel Garzón
Greetings to all,

I can't figure out why a webpage as simple as [2] renders text with
uniform size in desktop browsers (which I would expect), but like this
[1] in Android browsers such as Chrome, Firefox and (the main version
of) Opera. I mean... both P and TD are given font-size: medium! Isn't
this a violation of CSS standards? I have (rather empirically) found
that adding the line meta name=viewport
content=width=device-width fixes the issue, though I thought this
meta tag was meant to make the value of width more predictable under
media queries.

Is this font boosting/inflation? If so, how is this not violating CSS standards?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Cheers,

Ezequiel

[2] Please consider the following:

style
table { border-spacing: 0 }
td,p { font-size: medium }
/style
pLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Rerum,
cumque, pariatur, deserunt id impedit delectus at porro eum quaerat
officia atque eligendi tempora corporis necessitatibus quos minima
eaque dolorem eius quia nisi velit hic consequatur ea quis earum unde
consectetur!/p
tabletdLorem ipsum dolor sit./td/table

(If the paragraph is a bit shorter the font size is the same in P as in TD.)

2014-03-09 Thread John
at this page the bar that says new clothes at doubletake is set to 
max-width:980px and width: 100%, yet it exceeds the width of it's parent 
which is 980


how can this be?

Thanks for clues!

From http://coffeeonmars.com/test/DTake_Index.html

.sliderWideHeadTop h4 {
/* ………. rest ……..*/
width:100%;
max-width:980px;
padding:0 0 0 1.632653061224%; /* - */
}


The box model John. Adding the padding makes the box wider. The thing is, you 
don't need to declare width/max-width on that box (the H4). It will 
automatically be as wide as the parent box, normal behaviour for a block-level 
element.

Same thing with the border. The 1px border on that image makes it 2px 
wider and taller than 100%.
