Lee,

I'm working on a skin that uses the approach from your Red Leaf Skin to create a CSS skin with resizable text.  I'm having some issues compaing IE and Firefox, particularly with text that is specified as xx%.  In particular, text that should be 80% appears at different sizes with IE and Firefox.

Could you take a look at stockcentral.heimdall.ma.iclub.com and compare the "about" tab rendering with IE7 and FF.  Why are the font sizes different?

Thanks!

Hi Joe,

The site appears to be down, I had a look yesterday as well and couldn't access it. - Yes there is a difference in font sizes between browsers, what you have to do is adjust the percentage until you find one that is approx. the same - 85% usually does the trick. Have you had a look at this tutorial:

and

Text pixels and percentage equivalents

Hope this helps, thanks,

I've set up an accessible test site.

Please have a look at http://jncraig.com/test with Firefox and with IE. There are font size differences between the two browsers that I don't understand ...

From having a look in the CSS, you have not specified a starting font size in the body tag, for instance add this to the body:

font-size: small;

You will then find that each browser has a bit more of a level start, from there you can then experiment with CSS font sizes, for instance try the .Normal class at 100% after setting the font-size to small

Hope this helps, thanks,

Thanks, Lee!

I found that little problem about an hour after posting my message - as I started working through your resizable text tutorials. They were quite a bit of help. And it did make quite a difference. I need now to go back to the developmental site and make that change.

I also need to insure that my developmental site is set for the Transitional doc type. That and a few other changes.

Glad it's of use, have you read this tutorial for doc types in the latest DNN versions, you no longer need to edit the default.aspx file:
How to select DOC TYPES in DotNetNuke 4.4

Yes, I've read those. And, since I was starting from the Red Leaf Skin, you'd already done a lot of the work for me. I somehow erased the "small" in the body definition when I was changing the default fonts ..,
