From: Laura Kisailus [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Are people on the list actually getting my emails? Or are they just
to simplistic to respond to? Not that I feel entitled to a reply, but
I've posted twice now and neither have been responded to, which is
kind of strange.
Hi Laura,
Actually, I don't think that the subject of this post series was simplistic at
all. IE crashing because of a layout technique (as opposed to crashes caused by
a script of some sort) is relatively rare, which is probably why you didn't get
much information when you googled it.
Therefore, it's very possible that one reason you got no responses is that no
one had any ideas to offer you in your hunt for a solution. Your previous post,
regarding Javascript, is off topic for this list, and therefore shouldn't have
been responded to on the list, even if someone had an answer for you.
I'm glad that you found a solution to your problem, and appreciate that you
posted it, and your method of discovering it, back to the list so that others
can benefit from your experience.
That said, I do have a couple of comments about your page -
http://dev.762wireless.com/txt/?go=1
Font sizes set in pixels are, for most intents and purposes, impossible to
resize in IE/Win browsers. They are, however, resizable in other browsers.
Have you tried resizing the text of your page in Firefox? For me to be able to
comfortably read the text, especially at the bottom, I must bump the text size
up at least twice. At this point, your page is broken and not usable because
the top right section covers the middle right section. You may want to rewrite
the page so that the right column is able to grow with text-resizing.
In IE, since I cannot resize the text, I also cannot read it. If I cannot read
it, I am unlikely to be able to agree to anything, and would therefore unlikely
to consider the service being offered. Consider using percentages or ems for
text sizing that can be resized in IE browsers.
The Terms section at the bottom of the right column grows and shrinks with
each mouseover. This is surprising, if not also annoying. I'm not sure what you
had in mind there, but perhaps you need to rethink the auto expanding, as it
makes the page jump severely.
The mouseovers that display inside the phone are nice, though very difficult
to read at the current default size of the page. If I increase the text size so
I can read them, several that are longer are cut off inside the phone. This
may or may not be a problem (if all the text in those rollovers/popups isn't
shown), but it's probably important to know that it happens.
The radio button text (in the Horoscope section) begins to get out of line with
the radio buttons as soon as the text size is bumped up once, and is even more
out of line when it's bumped up twice, the amount I needed to be able to read
the bottom terms text. Again, this may or may not be an issue for you.
Anyway, I hope that this has been at least a little helpful. Don't let this
first experience with posting to this group discourage you. There are a lot of
really helpful people on this list, and sooner or later someone will know an
answer to your questions!
Cheers,
~holly
