Re: [WSG] increasing font size breaking layout

Usually there isn't much you can do in these situations. I just ignore it. If you can double the font size, that should be more than enough. If someone needs it bigger - then they are going to be used to broken sites anyway... Any bigger and it becomes too hard to manage. You need to draw a line

I am developing using ASP.NET, which we all know is not XHTML compliant, so yes I will always get validation errors with regards to certain insignificant tags. I cleaned up the non-ASP.NET specific errors and, ignoring those, it validates fine now. http://blackcoil.com On Mon, 27 Sep 2004 23

I was wondering if people had any opinions on when its acceptable if at all for a layout to break when users increase font size. Sites I am working on look fine if text is increased or decreased 1 or 2 times but when they are increased repeatedly the layout goes a bit whacky in some browsers (N

[WSG] multiple versions of Internet Exploder

2004-09-27 Thread Focas, Grant
Be careful when running multiple versions of IE in side-by-side mode. I've experienced problems where the IE5 or 5.5 has inherited some of the properties of IE6, which do not show up when testing on a machine with a 'proper' version of IE5 or IE5.5.

Hi James, I get it too on IE 5.2, but only for the password field, not the username field. The only difference I can see between the 2 fields is the 'value=""' attribute, so maybe try adding that to the password field and see if it makes any difference. Kevin On 28/9/04 1:17 PM, "James Ellis" <[

Hi Looks like it's Mac IE 5 day today... Has anyone experienced this before? Mac IE 5.x user hits a page with a login form. When they tab to the form field and type in their details two characters appear for every one typed. If the user clicks in the field with their mouse the problem goes away.

Hi Susan I'd suggest requesting some screenshots from her of your site. Apple has a support article on this at their website. This should help you pinpoint the "all broken" problem. If she is using OSX, suggest that she uses a better browser (that's what I do for users with this OS). OS8 and 9
