Gossamer Forum: Products: Gossamer Links: Version 1.x: HTML Help needed. IE/Netscape issue

The greater the number for chars, the greater is the size in netscape; so stay at a small size and there will be only a small difference. (Think of another factor for netscape: chars * 1,1cm; MSie chars * 1 cm - only example values!)

Try to work with Css, but remark that:

You can give css to the <td>, where your field is in.
You can set it e.g to the <p> Tag, before and after the field (same with <span class="x"><input ....></span>
You can set it directly to the field.
<input type = ... "class="x">

Important:
For working with both browsers, i take all three posibilities.
Another Netscape-thing: The css you defined before a field, dont work on a second field or a text after the first field.

Best thing is to take a small html-page with a table and cells and fields and/or two fields and or text before, middle and behind.

Then copy the table 4,5 times and try out the different possibilities; write over the right table, what you are doing and which effects are with it or not.

For me i need this site all days, cause i only work with css (and px for the fonts), so noone can destroy my designs with smaller or greater fonts in browser-setup.
(good example for killing it if i had no css:
http://www.traudt.de - dont try it with MAC :-(

Just one thing more: If you want to be sure, what your visitors will see; experiment with different screen-resolutions and system-font-sizes.

e.g. all netscape fonts are one pix smaller on a 21' but not at my 17'; maybe the difference is more, when you have normal or greater system-fonts. (I remark it dayly cause i work at home with 21 and 17; and at work, too but with other setups.)
