Hi,

Does anyone know of any reason why text firefox would display larger than IE? I'm using this regular body css:

body {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10.5px;
font-weight: normal;
color: #333333;
}

I haven't really read up too much on css browser differences as I thought it was more or less standarized by now.

Any help is appreciated<font face='Verdana'></font id='Verdana'><font size=2></font id=size2>

don't use a decimal as a size

stick with 10px or 11px

also check (when on firefox) by pressing CTRL -, that the text hasn't mistakenly been enlarged.

not really, maybe when the Illuminati sieze power of the world, we may get a universal browser standard <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Thanks for that Dave

Yes, rounding the text size did the trick.

Then we'd have none of these problems to solve - and where would be the fun in that?
