RE: [WSG] Site check Please - new thread
Hi Taco,
I would suggest using a percentage to size the text in the yellow band
instead of smaller since IE has a different idea of what smaller is
compared to Firefox:
p span.smaller {
font-size: 80%;
}
I would also suggest using em sizing. The height of the yellow band would
then resize along with the text:
#frm_s {
position: absolute;
top: 41px;
width: 100%;
height: 3em;
border-top: 1px solid #fff;
background-color: #fc0;
background: url(/_resource/image/mn_shadow.gif) #fc0 bottom
no-repeat;
}
Basically anything you want to resize when he font size is changed can be
sized using ems. At font-size: 100%, 1em = 16px. At font-size: 62.5%, 1em =
10px.
I would also suggest having the second row of divs (box1, box2, box3)
contained within the divs sellstuff, buystuff, mystuff and position them at
the bottom.
Regards,
Kepler

Hi Felix thanks for the effort.
A solution to the problem would be great as well ;-) Min-height doesn't work
in all browsers which would be the best solution I guess.
Any ideas on why the purple background while it should be white, or is that
just your screenshot?

I like it a lot above the yellow, but I don't like 3.5 word line lengths at
all. An unset background color and links half hiding behind other things are
unimpressive as well. http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/SS/tacofl2.jpg

Re: [WSG] Site check Please - new thread
http://web-strategists.com:888 You've got a transparent background-color set somewhere as all of the white space on the sides of the content and under the footer is currently browser default (mine is set to pink so I can see sites that aren't defining background-colors!). This prob isn't much of a problem but everyone should be aware that people might have changed their browser default and it'll make your site look bad.

Thanks. How large did you size the font to? We've only anticipated 1 size up, as its already a large font.

RE: [WSG] Site check Please - new thread
May I add that your suggestion would work. However we'd have to deal with other issues like the new white space (bottom of yellow to white gradient) that would appear from the font-increase etc. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joseph R.

Re: [WSG] Site check Please - new thread
Taco, Don't worry, I'm not one of these nuts who blows up the text to 1200% or anything. I make my largest benchmark the largest setting on IE which is the about the equivalent to 2 sizes up on Firefox.
