Re: [WSG] Big trouble!
#content p:first-letter
{
font-size: 1.5em;
vertical-align: -5px;
text-indent: 2px;
}
I am no expert on CSS - but the vertical-align: -5px will probably NOT be
nice in IE.
My experience has been that it expects something like top, middle, bottom
for vertical-align. A keyword - not a measurement.
But I could be wrong here (but not if you believe the doco on the MSDSN
site).
The other two values look as though they would be valid for IE and the
first-letter pseudo-element seems to be accepted by IE as well.
I have no idea what vertical-align should accept for standard CSS though.

[WSG] Big trouble!
Can someone with a PC and IE check this site/page for me, http://www.weddingphotography.com.au/prices/index.htm It has been behaving badly from day 1 my client is very old school and the best trouble shooting message I can get out them is it doesn't work. They are unable to tell me what version browser is in use at the time the problems are occurring? here's an example of the kind of message I'm getting, frankly I can't afford to lose any more hair over this one! ~~~ I've had a look at the site and I cannot get onto the prices page either. It was interesting actuallyWhen I typed in the address to go to the site, it bought up a page full of text initially (no picturesjust big text of 'wedding photographers'), and then changed back to what it should look like complete with pics. ~~~ Obvioulsy I need as much info as needed to troubleshoot this, I'm sure there is some obliging person here who can help?

The client's description of: text initially and then changed back to what it should look like complete with pics sounds like the infamous FUSC , or Flash of Unstyled Content.

RE: [WSG] Big trouble!
Crashes IE 6 5.5 on Windows XP here, no idea why though, sorry. (I just saved the HTML locally had a look - everything was okay, so I'd say it's something in the CSS) Yes - same story here. IE 6 on XP crashes with a Send this error to MS type dialog. Something is very evil on that page (at least that would be Bill's story if you asked him). Works fine in Mozilla Firebird though. While I have become partial to Firebird I am still a pragmatist and realise that 95%+ people in the world are apparently using IE. Do you have IE to test it with?

Thanks Alastair, do you simply adding a comment before that statement such as
/*ignore this ie*/??

Re: [WSG] Big trouble!
I use BBedit, which has a comment function, it gives something like
this:
/* #content p:first-letter */
/* { */
/* font-size: 1.5em; */
/* vertical-align: -5px; */
/* text-indent: 2px; */
/* } */
