Hi!

I´m just surfing a biz around, and it looks fine o me  on Mac OSX 10.4
w Opera 8.52

There can´t be any Sizing problems to me, because Opera sizes the
WHOLE PAGE, not just Text.
All is working fine, and the hovering effects are nice and useful.

Good Luck!

 Greetings my friends,

 I'm hoping you Mac and Linux folks would be so kind as to take a look at
 this site on your system's browsers.

 It validates and renders correctly on FF 1.5, Opera 8.5 and IE 6.0.  The
 only issue I discovered so far is a layout break when I zoom the text to
 unbelievable sizes in FF.

Unbelievable sizes here being one step DOWN (decreasing font size)
in Firefox1.5/Win, or two steps down in IE. I wouldn't discount any of
the offered sizes in IE as unbelievable, even IF they're smaller
(and the trend on this list is to advocate larger/unchanged default
font sizes).

That aside, nice design, looks fine in FF/Lin. I'd check Safari for
you but someone stole my Mac's mouse (apparently we have a
pest-deficiency in the office!)...

Office rats steal mice...

My god, I never tried REDUCING the font size during testing!

I tried adding some items to the #mainCol (the main column) such as 
min-width, width, block display, but it still breaks on the size 
reduction.  Any ideas would be swell!

With FF 1.5.0.1/OpenBSD, the menu is pushed to the 
center of the page, the This is the Main is 
between the menu and the headlines section, and 
the heading that will appear on each page and 
the content underneath is pushed below your 
whitehouse advert.  It's funny, because my FF 
1.5.0.1 on windows doesn't do that, and it looks fine.


Don't worry about the OpenBSD version, .1% of 
users will visit your page with that config.

Same thing is happening on the PC.

I have my nav text set to 1.0em.

I have the height of each li set to 1.75em.

I wrongly assumed that the li would expand along with the text since 
they both used ems for sizing...

I didn't have time to look through the CSS to see why, but maybe  
there's a height property added which shouldn't be?


I'm curious to see if this is happening to anyone on a PC.

2006-02-28 Thread piñon jorge
Remove the height property altogether. There's no need for it. Just  
pad the a element and the li will expand.
Also, there's extra, unnecessary CSS declarations in all the a  
pseudo-elements. Styling the a element by itself applies to all the  
pseudos as well so there's no need to repeat the same declarations.  
Make sense?

i'm a bit of a newb here, but possibly using min-height on the lis would fix the problem? in FF1.5 on windows, when the text size is increased by 3 or more notches, the logoBox and flash divs are getting pushed down  and not aligning with the light blue stripe in the background (the background color shows through). 
really nice visual design overall. maybe someday i'll be that good. :)
