Browser IE & Netscape "Text Size" Options
Hi:
When we use the Internet Explorer Browser option "Text Size", by going to "View" > "Text Size" and then select > " Largest" or > "Larger" option instead of the usual default "Medium" size, some text within the tables are changing size, even though I am using CSS to avoid it:
- under the " News" data feed
- the "copyright paragraph" at the bottom of the page
Same thing when using the "increase font" and "decrease font" option by clicking on "View", with Netscape Communicator 4.79 ( a lot of people still use this one unfortunatly) and I suppose with all Netscape Versions 6.x . The page on Netscape 4.79 has something strange going on as well. The navigation bar moves to the right as you keep clicking on the "increase font" option!!?? (click reload each time after "increase font" otherwise the page will not display)
Here is the link @ http://www.bizadvise.com/testmode/index.htm
Of course,I welcome any suggestions! I will increase the points if necessary.
Thank You
Gil

Thank You Webmoman
- I did add the CSS to "this" also and removed all the old HTML fonts in the page, but it did not change anything. I should have uploded the right file. Maybe I forgot a tag, I am going to double check and upload it so that you can see too.
- But what about "- the "copyright paragraph" at the bottom of the page" ? it is not part of the "news data feed"
- and what about the issue with Netscape. The navigation bar moves to the right as you keep clicking on the "increase font" option!?
Thanks

Here is the modified html file
http://www.bizadvise.com/testmode/index2.htm
I tried different variations such as:
heading_bgcolor = "ffffff"
heading_font = <p class="forex"> or
heading_font = "<p class="forex">"
same thing with the "heading_bgcolor = " and the "heading_font_size = " , but then, the News data feed does not appear anymore

in netscape i have not seen a workaround. there is no workaround.
in short.. netscape sucks like anything..I was a pro netscape guy about 4 yrs back but I guess they have been left far behind in the browser wars

well, it wont work in opera too. you might want to reconsider "fixing" the sizes, make you design look good in most sizes
Did you define your default styles? Define the p, td, etc. If you DON'T define them, anything that uses them (and you DO have td/p/etc. there, I looked) WILL resize. That's what bounces things around. Even a P tag that only contains a nbsp, br, or small image will change size, throwing everything around.
Try that -- and it should work for NN4+ too.

Thanks for your answer Webwomen : )
Do you have an example to show me about defining my default styles?
Do you for P:
<p class="forex">
and for TD :
td class="forex" bgcolor="578257" width="120">
You mentioned that even small image will change size, how do you define them too ?
Thank you

heading_bgcolor = "ffffff"
heading_font = "Verdana, Arial,Helvetica, sans-serif"
heading_font_size = "-2"
heading_fgcolor = "333333"
headline_bgcolor = "ffffff"
headline_font = "Verdana, Arial,Helvetica, sans-serif"
headline_font_size = "-2"
headline_fgcolor = "333333"
source_font = "Verdana, Arial,Helvetica, sans-serif"
source_font_size = "-3"
source_fgcolor = "ff6600"
access_font = "Verdana, Arial,Helvetica, sans-serif"
access_font_size = "-3"
access_fgcolor = "ff6600"
time_font = "Verdana, Arial,Helvetica, sans-serif"
time_font_size = "-3"
time_fgcolor = "ff6600"
is what's screwing it up. Only the things that get formatted that way (I think it's articles) will change size. Anything that is tagged with your styles, DOESN'T change (some of the spacing does, it's probably got P tags or something).
