Thanks, Phillipe!

Wow, pretty gruesome! However, I intentionally made the font size super-big, in the hope that everyone who can read will be able to do so without text-zooming. Should I worry? >At my normal window width, no text zoom. Note the heavy horizontal scrollbar. Yes -- apart from the horizontal scrollbar, it looks as I intended it. Re. the scrollbar: I'd originally designed for 1024 x 768, but found the design looked quite weak without the #background div, when viewed in anything wider (I'm assuming it's that very wide div that's doing it). I don't suppose there's any way to have my cake and eat it too, is there (short of creating a fluid design, which is way beyond my current skill-level and available time)? >Safari 3.2 and 4b displays exactly the same. >On a another Mac with a 24"inch monitor, it behaves all the same. >On Ubuntu Linux, same thing. Thanks! That's very good to know. >I like the colours, btw. Thank-you! One more question, if I may: I see that, on your computer, my 'contact' link (top right of page) actually displays as an email 'envelope' symbol. Is that your computer/browser's default display for any <href="mailto. . . > code -- or is my html incorrect? (On my FF 3.0.4, on Windows XP, I simply see what I'd intended -- "contact", with no symbol.) ________________________________ From: Philippe Wittenbergh <e...@l-c-n.com> To: CSS-D <css-d@lists.css-discuss.org> Cc: Michael Leibson <michael_mabe...@yahoo.ca> Sent: Friday, April 10, 2009 8:19:08 AM Subject: Re: [css-d] Firefox bug on on new Macs?

Here is how it looks like, when I force the window to the width of the monitor -windoze users call that full screen or something: <http://dev.l-c-n.com/_b/ml.png> I zoomed the text, note how the selected part overflows the sand background (and is then unreadable). <http://dev.l-c-n.com/_b/ml2.png> At my normal window width, no text zoom. Note the heavy horizontal scrollbar. Safari 3.2 and 4b displays exactly the same. On a another Mac with a 24"inch monitor, it behaves all the same. On Ubuntu Linux, same thing. I like the colours, btw. Philippe --- Philippe Wittenbergh http://l-c-n.com/ __________________________________________________________________ Looking for the perfect gift?
