I did post recently about how to set text size in SM so other
browsers like Chrome "got it right". By trial and error I managed to
fiddle with sizes so this occurs. Thanks to those who commented, and
suggested I used other WYSIWYG composer programs. None worked
properly, and had bigger bothers than SM. Thanks anyway.Even Front
Page is more awkward to use than SM. AL I WANT IS SIMPLE PLEASE.
Originally, I asked for a simple fix because of suspected SM problems.
I suspected my monitor and card had a problem, but I think Ive ruled
this out today.
I cannot get my SM version 2.26 to work very well.
So, I learnt more how to use Front Page and then figured I didn't need
that because I could simply type up a page in Microsoft Word, and save
the page as a web page just as I always have. I can more easily adjust
sizes of images AND text so that when viewed in Firefox it looks OK
using zoom at 100%. In Chrome text and pics look small but adjusting
zoom to +110% makes it look right, about same as Firefox. Its a vast
improvement on SeaMonkey.
Much that Front Page offers is explained in a 46 page how-to-do about
websites which it is presumed that the webmaster wants to generate
income from a website. I know that no matter how good a website is
about tube based audio, there's no money to be made unless you sell
amps cheaper than made in China.
OK, I just want a website to contain a vast amount of info on how to
use vacuum tubes. Its an intellectual persuit, not commercial. So,
turns out MS word is fine.
There's only one thing I cannot find how-to-do in MS word and that
change the page background colour from glary WHITE to a parchment shade.
Thanks for all your input. I am not a man to stop trying to teach
myself stuff while waiting for simply understood doable help. I might
wait ages.
Someone emailed me to say I couldn't ever get different browsers to
display my pages identically unless I had far more knowledge about
html coding. Yeah sure, I'm one of the dumbest dumbos who's ever
lived. But since 2001, my webpages have looked virtually identical in
Netscape, SeaMonkey, Firefox and Chrome. Difficulties have only been
with recent SeaMonkey. The whole idea of WYSIWYG is to allow SIMPLE
minded ppl like myself to make a SIMPLE website containing far more
useful info about tube amps than the many slick commercial websites
which seem to me to leave out all useful info and all they want is
your money after conning you with good looking web graphics.
Keep well, and if that's impossible, try at least to stay sane,
Patrick Turner.
While fonts and the like will always be somewhat different from browser
to browser, plain ol' HTML code displays images _identically_ in all
browsers. I repeat (for the 3rd time at least): If you're having issues
with browsers displaying images at different sizes, it's a byproduct of
your browser settings, _not_ of your Composer/Front Page/Dreamweaver,
etc. settings.
Somehow, however, I suspect this will fail to compute.
Your site images all look the same in SeaMonkey, Safari and Firefox. All
of them. On every page I dared to open. Not a single, solitary image
looked even remotely different in any of the three browsers. NOT A
SINGLE ONE.
This is not an HTML, CSS, Composer or other design issue. It simply
isn't. The problem you keep describing is not the problem you're
experiencing. Honest.
Your browser DISPLAY settings are the problem. My last comment on the
matter.
I can't say I noticed, previously, where Patrick might have given us the
clue ....

Does anyone know how well MS Word might compose an HTML file, or, to put
it another way, how clean is a HTML file written in MS Word??
