Just a fact: I viewed the site referenced by the OP on SeaMonkey 1.1.13 on Windows/XP, increased the font size by one step and it went bonkers. > As an individual user, I > care mostly about seeing sites, even poorly written, properly. Well, good luck with that. The problem is that many site developers don't understand what is needed to design their application to work on multiple browsers. They test that it runs on their browser of choice (usually, IE) and others are left to chance. > > It is a difficult issue for developers, but until there is an Internet > police, the user is king ... So, as a user, what can you do? You can certainly contact the site developer and let them know about their site's shortcoming. You can view their site with *their* preferred browser. You can boycott their site. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
