But be very careful if you use em's. You must declare percent on the 
body or html, otherwise you'll trigger a bug in IE that causes the fonts 
to go goofy when scaled.


This is a method that /will/ work fine in IE when using em's:

html {font-size: 100%;}
body {font-size: 1em;}
h1 {font-size: 1em;}
p {font-size: 0.8em;}

Best,

This is in reference to your uri : 

Change this declaration:

body{
  background-color:#000;
  font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, Serif;
  margin: 0;
  padding:0;
  background:url(../images/repeat.gif) repeat;
}

to set default:
body {
  background-color:#000;
  font:  100% Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, Serif;
  margin: 0;
  padding:0;
  background:url(../images/repeat.gif) repeat;
}

Then change all selectors in the style sheet using 11px to 80%, and all 
selectors using 10px to 70% and you'll come out approximately the same 
cross-browser.


If it appears significantly different (larger) in IE6 or IE7 it may be 
because you have the browser set at text-size "larger" or "largest," 
rather than "medium."


Best,
~dL

Hi Laert Jansen,
 
Which IE are you using? IE7 uses different font rendering (ClearType), which
makes fonts slightly larger and more bold.
 
Try using em's. 1em is the equivalent of 16px. You can also use ems to 1
decimal place if you want to be more precise.
 
e.g. h1 { font-size: 1em; }
 
p { font-size: .8em; }
 
Kind regards,

Hello Laert;

The rule below, set that to the percentage you want, as it is now, IE fixes it 
at 10px

#biography p {
   font-size: 10px;
   line-height:1.0;
   margin: 8px 0 0 0;
   color: #999;
}

I believe your question is in reference to your uri:


/All/ browsers have the ability to scale fonts. Even Internet Explorer. 
The difficulty in IE is when a Web author sets the fonts in pixels, the 
user needs to put their browser into "Accessibility" mode, and check the 
"ignore font sizes specified on Web pages" box in order for them to 
scale (un-freeze, so to speak) the fonts. More user friendly Web authors 
size their fonts in percent or em rather than pixels.


Trivial Pursuits: I don't understand why you top-post (write above those 
to whom you reply instead of below) and do not trim your replies as it 
makes it virtually impossible to follow a logical thread.

~dL

re: 


Dwain,

The text proper is not frozen in Firefox. I think you are having 
difficulty with the image text.


Best,

With regard to the body declaration correction you've made, change this:


body{
   background-color:#000;
   font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, Serif;
   margin-left: 0px;
   margin-right: 0px;
   margin-top: 0px;
   margin-bottom: 0px;
   background:url(../images/repeat.gif) repeat;
  
}


to:

body{
   background-color:#000;
   font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, Serif;
   margin: 0;
   padding:0;
   background:url(../images/repeat.gif) repeat;
  
}


For the paragraph leading in IE, change this:

#biography{
   font-size: 10px;
   line-height:0.8;
   margin-top: 8px;
   color: #999;
} 


to read:

#biography p {
   font-size: 10px;
   line-height:0.8;
   margin: 8px 0 0 0;
   color: #999;
}


For the description, you'll need to default the ul margin and padding.

Change this declation:
#menu ul {
   color:#999;
   font-size: 10px;
   padding-left: 3px;
   list-style-type: none;
   margin-bottom: 4px;
}

To read something like this:

#menu ul {
   color:#999;
   font-size: 10px;
   padding: 0 0 0 3px;
   list-style-type: none;
   margin: 0 0 4px 0;
}

BTW, the above menu id needs to change to a class in both the markup and 
the CSS.


An id is unique and can only be used once on a page. You've used it 
numerous times; consequently, correcting it to a class will do the 
trick, and simultaneousley fix some of the 30 markup validaton errors.


HTH,

~dL

PS /Landing/ on a page with mousetype an 116dpi laptop ain't no picnic 
for those of us without your Superman vision. Then having it frozen in 
IE, only adds insult to injury.











You will still want to correct the 30 markup validation errors on your file.

Re: [WSG] Problem with folio online | IE

[Laert Jansen]

Hi David

Thanks.

The margin on the top is working much better now. About the line height I
tried a raw number but it´s not working. Firefox is ok but IE has a lot of
white space between the lines...strange...

The description is something like "Client: Jacob Ferreira   Role.
Website Design  Agency. Freelance Work"
I tried a horizontal list with  but its not working well in IE.
What´s the best way to do something like this?

Thanks a lot again,

Laert

You can see the difference: With IE the line height is different, the 
job description´s alignment is wrong, the margin on the top of the 
page...


Does anyone want to give me a little help...





IE has difficulty with line-height set in pixels. Try a raw number such 
as 1.2 or whatever does it for you.
You might try putting margin: 0; padding: 0;  on the body to bring all 
browsers to default; and, move the margin top to the header, and 
margin-bottom to the footer.

I do not know what you mean about the "job description."
I'd consider using headings h1 through h6-- h1 is usually the page title.
But before you do anything else, validate the document as you have a 
zillion machine errors to fix.

Best,
~dL

[WSG] Problem with folio online | IE

[Laert Jansen]

Hello,

I'm fighting with IE/Firefox for solving a css-problem(I believe).

I´ve just finished my online folio >> http://www.laertjansen.com/site2/ but
it looks like the way I want only with FF . I don´t know where´s the
mistake.

You can see the difference: With IE the line height is different, the job
description´s alignment is wrong, the margin on the top of the page...

Does anyone want to give me a little help...

Thanks a lot.
