Minklet Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I can't see why, but text is far wider in firefox than in google chrome...it doesn't even look like Arial to me (tho developer tools says it is). It's breaking my menus and really infuriating me. Anyone know why? I've tried changing font-weight and size etc, no luck. http://dev.subverb.net font is exactly the same cross browser at 500, at 600 it's too big in chrome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minklet Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Anyone? A similiar problem happens in IE7. I can't find anything on this, which is bizarre because this must be a commonly noticed bug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haku Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 You've got 30 some odd html errors in your code. Start with fixing those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minklet Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Couldn't you just answer the query (or not say anything)before critisizing the order in which I carry out my tasks? The site isn't open so what difference does that make? I'll get to that when I finish the design thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haku Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I wasn't criticizing your code, and I was giving you an answer. Usually issues like this are the result of errors in your HTML. Start with fixing those and see if it fixes your problem. If it doesn't, then we will have at least eliminated that as the problem. That's how problems are fixed - eliminate potential issues to zone in on the problem. Step one of problem elimination is fixing HTML errors, as half the time, that's where the problem lies.

I once had a problem in a file, I validated it and I got tons of errors. But I didn't start with the first error, nono, I wanted to fix one I wanted to fix. Also posted a question here. In the meantime I had started eliminating the simple html errors, and suddenly the other errors were gone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
