Laert Jansen wrote: I don´t understand why is the text frozen in IE and not in FF I believe your question is in reference to your uri: http://www.laertjansen.com/site2/ /All/ browsers have the ability to scale fonts. Even Internet Explorer. The difficulty in IE is when a Web author sets the fonts in pixels, the user needs to put their browser into Accessibility mode, and check the ignore font sizes specified on Web pages box in order for them to scale (un-freeze, so to speak) the fonts. More user friendly Web authors size their fonts in percent or em rather than pixels. Trivial Pursuits: I don't understand why you top-post (write above those to whom you reply instead of below) and do not trim your replies as it makes it virtually impossible to follow a logical thread.

Hello Laert;
The rule below, set that to the percentage you want, as it is now, IE fixes it
at 10px
#biography p {
font-size: 10px;
line-height:1.0;
margin: 8px 0 0 0;
color: #999;

Re: [OBORONA-SPAM] RE: [WSG] Best Practice to Offer Different Formats of Documents
Alexey Novikov skrev: I use this pattern: a href=document.pdfTitle_of_This_Lengthy_Document/a, PDF, 1234kb I would suggest putting the abbreviation PDF and the size inside the a-element if anyone tabs from link to link with JAWS or anything similar. or with icon: a href=document.pdfimg src=pdf.gif alt=Download PDF /Title_of_This_Lengthy_Document/a, PDF, 1234kb I probably would have this image in CSS, aligned right or left and then add some padding right/left as well for it to show up. Now that IE7 supports attribute selectors most users will see it. If not I would go for an empty alt-attribute, since the purpose of the link is clear from the text.

RE: [WSG] Problem with folio online | IE
Hi Laert Jansen,
Which IE are you using? IE7 uses different font rendering (ClearType), which
makes fonts slightly larger and more bold.
Try using em's. 1em is the equivalent of 16px. You can also use ems to 1
decimal place if you want to be more precise.
e.g. h1 { font-size: 1em; }
p { font-size: .8em; }
Kind regards,

This is in reference to your uri : http://www.laertjansen.com/site2/
Change this declaration:
body{
background-color:#000;
font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, Serif;
margin: 0;
padding:0;
background:url(../images/repeat.gif) repeat;
}
to set default:
body {
background-color:#000;
font: 100% Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, Serif;
margin: 0;
padding:0;
background:url(../images/repeat.gif) repeat;
}
Then change all selectors in the style sheet using 11px to 80%, and all
selectors using 10px to 70% and you'll come out approximately the same
cross-browser.
If it appears significantly different (larger) in IE6 or IE7 it may be
because you have the browser set at text-size larger or largest,
rather than medium.
Best,

But be very careful if you use em's. You must declare percent on the
body or html, otherwise you'll trigger a bug in IE that causes the fonts
to go goofy when scaled.
This is a method that /will/ work fine in IE when using em's:
html {font-size: 100%;}
body {font-size: 1em;}
h1 {font-size: 1em;}
p {font-size: 0.8em;}

And I will also include (or even fix) any negative feedback for clickfind, if any. I'd also like to add more information about accessibility and usability to the document, which is also one of the reasons for posting here. I'd like to include the contact details and link in the document from people who are contributing to the document to make it more credible. Thanks.
