Patrick Turner pounded out :
I did post recently about how to set text size in SM so other browsers
like Chrome "got it right". By trial and error I managed to fiddle
with sizes so this occurs. Thanks to those who commented, and
suggested I used other WYSIWYG composer programs. None worked
properly, and had bigger bothers than SM. Thanks anyway.Even Front
Page is more awkward to use than SM. AL I WANT IS SIMPLE PLEASE.
Sea Monkey always inserts images where I want them but it always
enlarges them and no amount of trying to control image size by zooming
out in "compose page" or "browse page" makes any difference. In
Firefox, images appear the same, too big.
But in Chrome, images are exactly as I meant them to be, same as I
made the images when I saved them from an image program. The relative
text size is also correct.
So it seems like SM and derivative stuff from Mozilla don't have
enough settable settings which are then recognized by SM and
derivatives. In other words, SM is like a man whose "left hand doesn't
know what the right hand does does"
Also, SM or FireFox does not display text colors or background colors.
The other trouble is with line wrapping while typing text to describe
my images at my pages. I have to do it manually after going over text.
I don't want to do that, and I don't wan the text to extend right
across wide screen before it line wraps, its a 41.5cm wide screen x
25.5cm high.
Example pages of my site are at http://www.turneraudio.com.au
I tried to see if there were major differences in html source which
instructed different browsers in different ways. But it seemed to me
the "view source" gave me what looked like enormously complex html and
I didn't know what to add or subtract to make it work AS I DAMN WELL
WANT IT TO and not to some vague recipe thought up by some dopey
nerd@somewhere.
Trying to find help anywhere left me feeling I needed help.
Gregariously, Patrick Turner.
After reviewing this entire thread my best advice is this.
1. Get a good tutorial/book on HTML/CSS
2. Stop posting your issues here, it's got nothing to do with any
Mozilla product
3. Subscribe to the following groups and be prepared for the "advice"
- comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html
- comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets
- comp.infosystems.www.authoring
The "problems" you are having aren't caused by SeaMonkey, they are
caused by your total lack of knowledge of HTML/CSS. SeaMonkey's
Composer component (or other such programs) are not a panacea for
ignorance. Nor were they meant to be.
Educate yourself and then come back if you have meaningful questions.
Any money to be made on redoing old sites in HTML5 and CSS3?
I'm having fun redoing Patrick's index page for my own education.
