CCS font size problem, (Nightmare)

Hi,

I'm having a problem with a CSS defined font size on www.casajac.org
I have a few links to different language pages on the top right of the
banner. ("English, Nederlands ...)
I had the link styles defined in the main stylesheet casajac.css but I
couldn't size down the font.
Tried deining the font as 2% to see if that would have any visible effect,
but no...
Can't figure out why.
Ended up doing a style-on-the-page with DW.
And even that is not working correctly.
(Click on the "English" then on the "Deutch" link and the font size changes
.... !)

TIA

Spencer

Oh, good ;-)

Usually because the style is overruled by a forgotton style rule
further down the sheet.

Is this:
<!--
..Style5 {font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 70%; }
-->
inside the body the result of that?
And even that is not working correctly.

I see no font size change (Firefox).

You mean http://www.fransysco.net/casajac/index.shtml ?

Start by correcting the errors:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...ac/index.shtml
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/v...usermedium=all

Come back when you've done that and if the problem remains.

Yes. That is the result of doing a style-on-the-page with DW.
I am now at the office and using
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr-FR; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511
Firefox/1.0.4

The font-size problem has disappeared.
The font-size is fine.
Weird.

I've run CSSCheck on my style sheets and I always get a warning similar to this: "font: bold 9pt/100% sans-serif Warning: Absolute length units should not generally be used on the Web ..." Yet if I use 'x-small' instead of 9pt, I get bigger type on IE6 and smaller type on Mozilla. My choices seem to be:

Hi guys What's the best way to specify font size using CSS? I try to avoid absolute units like pt and px because then users can't resize the fonts in IE, but % and em are a complete pain to use IMO. I read somewhere (a W3C tip I think) that the best way is to specify a "base" size and then have all your fonts relative that, but I'm not sure how that works. TIA

As I understand it, most browser manufacturers have agreed on 16px for their default font size. So, this should be an accurate conversion for percentages: px % 16 = 100 14 = 87.5 13 = 81.25

Hi all, I'm building some style sheets and trying to play the old game of balancing designer pixel perfection and still allowing users to adjust their font sizes. The compromise I've made with the designer is that he'll accept allowing users to change font sizes it it "looks right" with the default setting. I'm using em to set the font size. So, anyway, here's the problem. At 0.96em we get the perfect font size. But, if the font is...

Hi All; I, like others, have been frustrated with designing forms that look and flow the same in both IE and Firefox. They simply did not scale the same. I have discovered, to my chagrin, that IE7 does not seem to offer any way to control the font size of a text input element.
