problems viewing with mozilla

[carme]

hi all,

i have two questions:

- how do i lock the font size of a text in a layer? i did it manually
copy-pasting the html code but there might be an easier way...

- when trying to view this pages on mozilla, the text font increases if i
change the viewing settings on the browser, and i also see the tables'
borders. how can i solve this? please check
http://www.macmillion.com/projects.htm to see an example.

thanks

You cannot lock the text size in any element of a web page. Any user
can change the font size in any browser.

The only solutions are:
1) Make the text an image
2) Find another way not using layers.

Layers and text seldom go together. And in most cases (not all) there
are alternatives to layers - but the alternatives depend on the overall
page design.

Table borders can be controlled using CSS
<table style="border:none;border-collapse:collapse;">
Or <table border="0">

In addition to what Ron says, you don't want to lock the font size!
Designers often want to lock the size in for the sake of their design, but
there are plenty of people out there who explicitely set their font size
larger because they have vision problems. These users are used to distorted
layouts but are pleased that they can read the text. When designers get
sneaky and try to prevent them from viewing things the way they need, they
get angry because of someone who is trying to bypass their needs.

hi,

followed your advice. is there an explanation why i can see the tables'
borders on mozilla and not on explorer? do they read the html code
differently?

thanks a lot,

carme

What is the HTML code? Either post it here or give a link to a page
with the problem. Some HTML code will only work correctly on Internet
Explorer.

You are using bordercolorlight and bordercolordark to set the border
colours. These attributes only work in Internet Explorer. If you wish
to hide the table borders, then use border="0" instead of border="1".

You also need to set the page background colour, and the text colours.
In my installation of Firefox the background is grey, and ALL the text
is Orange. I have set Firefox to display orange text on grey background
unless the web page says otherwise.
