Subject: [WSG] Looking for a little peer review(Nelson)
Nelson: I took a look at your site - www.stop design. If I click on View -larger or largest, the text from the right side of the page enlarges and spills onto the text in the middle of the page. It does not look really bad but it does cause a bit of a reading problem. I don't know if text size in % (e.g. 85% ) instead of text size 10px (or whatever) has anything to do with it but I wonder... i.e. 85% of larger might be significantly different from 85% of smaller. I am using IE 6 with windows 2000. ...a thought Doreen Cowan
[WSG] Looking for a little peer review
Nelson, Content of the right sidebar spills over into the center obscuring part of the text. MS internet explorer 6. on Win98SE with text set to "largest". Oops! Just tried it with largest text in IE 6.0 SP1 on Win98SE, I got the same problem, the right sidebar spills into the center. Different text sizes seemed fine in firfox 0.8 and netscape 7.1 (and of course Opera). Darian Cabot Thanks Brewnetty and Darian for pointing that out. I have explicitly set the text size for my h3's in px, and that seems to be helping the issue, though I have no OS earlier than Win2k to check it with. What are people's opinions about how best to combat this sort of problem with IE/Win and its text resizing function? Mozilla/Safari etc don't resize text the same way and so don't break the structure quite as severely. IE was bursting the right-sidebar to the left, whereas Safari extends it to the right when the text is too large. Is there any prevailing wisdom on this issue?

Thanks everyone for checking it out. I can't figure out what the problem was. Maybe someone will still find a bug.

The right hand sidebar content falls a little onto the middle column when text is set to "Largest" but the blog is still more than readable even then. The blog content is very easy to read at all resolutions - if you had comments I'd be leaving a complimentary one right now.

Hi all, this will be my first time posting to this group. Someone just told me that my ever-in-progress personal site is looking strange on their screen using IE6/Win. I have tested it using IE5.0/Win and IE6/Win on VirtualPC, as well as with various Mac browsers, and have not come across any major layout issues (except for the occasional pixel imperfection). Apparently for this person on IE6/Win the text in the white main column is overlapping the right sidebar. I'm wondering if it may be an issue relating to a minor update of IE6/Win?
