Full Version: nitpicking with Firefox

Hello,

I'm working my way thru the CSS glitches in a fairly complex page.

Firefox on Windows displays one character out of position: it has its own CSS, and appears several time on the page. Sounds like a nitpick, but it's quite distracting.

Any suggestions for a simple re-direct? Firefox is OK on Mac, and Opera, Safari & Netscape are ok on both platforms, and IE6 and & 7 are ok too.

cheers

No, but maybe we can help you solve the problem if you show us what it is. An URL would be nice.

...maybe when I've gotten the IE glitches a bit sorted.

I tried substituting various fonts for the generic "monospace" in the div wrapping the problem, and that seems to work... at least 'courier new' does: pretty widely-used on win and mac:

'courier new' is not the default monospace font on my pc, but then, I may well have changed it and forgotten I did. Do you happen to know what the default is?

Bound to be back soon.

Create a small sample doc that shows the problem if you don't want to show the page. I don't understand your description of it. Why has a single character its own styling? A drop cap or something?

IE Win ships with Courier New as the factory setting, if that's what you mean. Don't see how that matters.

A drop cap or something?
a "moving line symbol" (problem solved).
I was intested in what the default fonts for Firefox are, or where I could find out.

still has a css problem on the link with the text "ready?", only in IE6 and & IE7. The link should line up with the text "the coins show here".

The page needs alternate stylesheets for screen sizes other than 1024x768, not yet activated.
