Probably because the css says so:
.code
{
color: #000000;
background-color: #cccccc;
border: 1px solid #000000;
padding: 1px;
font-family: "courier new", helvetica, "times new roman", serif;
font-size: small;
/* font-size: x-small; */
width: 99%;
margin: 1px auto 1px auto;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: auto;
}
The IE engine likely assigns something which is rather unhealthy to "small".
Yiannis, can you insert a conditional comment into the forum page template so it looks something like this?
<head>
....
<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie.css">
<![endif]-->
</head>
and have ie.css like so:tt, .code {font-size: normal;}
Yes, yes... telling Daddy where the children come from ;)
I read there is a way to solve the discrepancies between ie and other browsers in font size...
http://www.clagnut.com/blog/348/
html { font-size: 100%; /* IE hack */ }
body { font-size: 0.75em; }
But I don't remember the original source. I'll try it out.
Umm just use point (pt) sizes it works the same in Internet Exploder and Firefox. I know because I have to do it in my CSS. :)
Something like this
#your-selector
{
font-size: 14pt;
}
LOL! :lol: that was a good one.
(If you weren't kidding, please go to the beginning of the thread and see what was causing us problems in the firxt place :P )
At the end of the css file change it from this:
* html body tt
{
font-size:10pt;
}
to this:
I used the
hack, and at the BOTTOM of the stylesheet, I added:
tt, .code { font-size:1em; }
