No, it probably has to do with another rule elsewhere in your sheet 
overriding the value of 18px.  We can't tell without a page to look at.

[css-d] Headings sometimes not working in Firefox

2005-12-20 Thread Larry Wilcox
Sometimes when I use an h1, h4, tag etc. the text doesn't show properly
in Firefox but is OK in IE. 

This is the code I'm using. 
h4 style=position:absolute; bottom:6px; left:139px;There will be no
services on Christmas Day/h4 

I end up having to set font-size to get a larger type. Where am I messing
up?

Larry,

We'll need to see a page with the problem to be able to help.

Define properly and doesn't show properly for us.

 This is the code I'm using. 
 h4 style=position:absolute; bottom:6px; left:139px;There will be no
 services on Christmas Day/h4 

Is it possible that the absolute pos. is in some cases causing the 
header to be displayed off-screen? Beneath some other element?

 I end up having to set font-size to get a larger type. Where am I messing
 up? 

Or is it just that the font-size is too small. Could it be inheriting 
this from its container?

The header shows up... Just not in the header format. If I set a font-size
tag the font shows up as expected.

If I understand you right, you wonder why a h4 element has different
default size in different browsers in relation to normal text size.

This behavior is normal, since nowhere is defined that an h4 element
has to be (i.e.) 1.4 times bigger than normal text size.



Regards,

Uwe Kaiser

I have the h4 tag set in the css file for 18px but it doesn't show that big
in Firefox.

Could this have anything to do with an absolutely positioned div?
