When testing the pages I noticed that different browsers line up the same text differently so even if I use the "clear" command on a given line depending on the browser that may not be the right line. Is there a specific font property I need to set in order to make the text line up the same in all browsers or is it just a crap shoot on how they get displayed? [Link] |

In Firefox this one doesn't look to bad but in a few others the lines are a little off. My CSS sheet only specifies these "font" attributes: font-size: 10pt; I was wondering if I needed to specify style, varient and weight in order to make the lines of text uniform across browers.

Most of the standard guys I read prefer to use EMs as the unit -- with 1 EM being the browsers "default" size, and then fractions thereof... I tend to do my pages at .8em which defaults to a nice size across platforms. Style Sheets are a blessing and a curse. I love their potential, but their implementation in IE just SUCKS which creates problems since 90% of folk use IE and the others use CSS compliant browsers... so you find yourself learning about "box model hacks" and other things. I tend to not use them for placement since there is so much broken, but I use them for styling (font, color, basic layout) all the time. [Link] |

Muahahaha *cough*cough*)  Seriously though. IMHO, your page looks OK in the three browsers I've got handy. I'm not too keen on the small font in the nav-panel in Opera, but otherwise it's fine. You're not likely to get anything that'll look much more uniform across browsers, but using px (13px or thereabouts) instead of pt, may make it a little more so, even though em is usually nicer for your users.

| Michael Saint Photographer Alexis Texas is always lovely 1062 Posts 2/01 | Posted - Jun 6 2006 : 12:51AM Thank you for the information. Ever since I started working on these style sheets I have been trying to figure out exactly what the difference is between a pt, em and px. The Pixel I can get obviously but in the book I am using it seems that the author avoids pixels and uses 'em' specifically for space and 'pt' for fonts which I thought was standard but apparently that is not the case. Working on shifting them to em as we speak. [Link] |
