[SOLVED] Text size inconsistencies

[HughbertD]

Hi

 

For some obscure reason a large section of my font appears much larger than the rest of the page. It seems this section totally ignores the CSS rules above it.

 

From my code ...

<style type="text/css">

/* the bit that does the work */

body {
    margin:0;
    border:0;
    padding:0;
    height:100%;
    max-height:100%;
    background:#fff;
    font-family:arial, verdana, sans-serif;
    font-size:76%;
    overflow: hidden;
    margin-bottom: 10px;

  }

/* for internet explorer */
* html body {
  padding:120px 0 50px 0;
  }


* html #container {
  height:100%;
  width:100%;
  }


* html #header {height:120px;}


#footer {
  position:absolute;
  bottom:0;
  left:0;
  width:100%;
  height:45px;
  overflow:auto;
  text-align:right;
  background:#344E05;
  border-top:5px solid #507607;
  }
* html #footer {height:50px;}

/* end of bit that does the work */

h1 {font-size:0.9em; margin:0; padding:0;}

#footer p {
  color:#CCF77D;
margin:5px 10px 0 10px;



  }


#header img {
  margin:8px 10px 10px 10px;
  }
#container img {margin:5px;}
#absolute {
  position:absolute;
  top:400px;
  right:100px;
  width:200px;
  background:#ddd;
  padding:10px;
  border:1px solid #000;
  }

#left {
  float:left;
  background:#eee;
  padding:10px;
  border:1px solid #000;
  color:#000;
  width:50%;
  }

#right {
  float:right;
  background:#ddd;
  padding:10px;
  border:1px solid #000;
  color:#000;
  }

a:visited {
  font-size:0.9em;
  text-decoration:none;
  color:#ddd;
  }

a:hover {
  color:#666666;
  text-decoration:none;
  }
  
  a:link {
    color:#808000;
    }

.grey {color:#888;}

.ltgrey {color:#ddd;}

img#mascot {float:right;}

#header ul {
  clear:both;
  text-align:center;
  border-top:1px solid #000000;
  }

#header ul {
  margin:0;
  padding:0;
  list-style-type:none;
  background:transparent;
  height:1em;
  }

#header ul li {
  display:inline;
  color:#000000;
  
  }
  



.strike {text-decoration:line-through;}
.lft {float:left;}
.rgt{float:right;}

.columnone, .columntwo {width:31%; float:left; text-align:justify; margin-right:2%;}
.columnthree {text-align:justify; border:1px solid #fff;}
* html .columnthree {border:0;}
hr {clear:both; border:0; height:1px; color:#000000; background-color:#888;}

.columnthree a, .columnthree a:visited {font-size:0.9em; color:#000; text-decoration:underline;}
.columnthree a:hover {color:#888; text-decoration:none;}

#header {
  position:absolute;
  top:0px;
  left:0px;
  width:100%;
  height:120px;
  overflow:auto;
  background:#283C04;
  border-bottom:4px solid #547C07;
  }
  
  
#container {
    
  font-family:"verdana";
  font-size: 0.9em;
  position:fixed;
  top:160px;
  left:0;
  bottom:50px;
  right:0;
  overflow:auto;
  background:#fff;
  padding:20px;
  text-align:center;
  color:#000000;

  }

.style1 {color: #CCCCCC}
</style>

<div id="container">

<a href="java script:windowpop('addStudentPlacement.php');">Add Student to Placement</a><p>


<?php
    $SQL = "select * from student, placement, studentplacement where student.studentid = studentplacement.studentid and placement.companyID = studentplacement.companyID";
    
    $retid = mysql_query($SQL, $cid);
    if (!$retid) { echo( mysql_error()); }
    else {
        echo "<table>";
        ?>
        <tr>
            <td align="center">Name</td>
            <td align="center">Placement</td>
        
            <td align="center">Email</td>
        </tr>
        <?php
        while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($retid)) {
            $firstName = $row["firstName"];
            $lastName = $row["lastName"];
            $company = $row["compName"];
            $compCity = $row["compCity"];
            $compCountry = $row["compCountry"];
            $email = $row["email"];
            $id = $row["studentID"];
            
            

            echo ("<tr>");
        
            
            echo ("<td>$firstName $lastName</TD>\n");
            ?>
            <td align="center"> <?php echo ("$company $compCity, $compCountry")?></td><?php
            
            echo ("<td align=center>$email</td>\n");
            echo ("<td><A HREF=\"studentEdit.php?id=$id\">Edit</A></td>");
            echo ("<td><A HREF=\"displayStudent.php?id=$id&task=del\">Delete</A></td>");
            echo ("</tr>");
         }
        echo ("</table>");
    }
    
?>

 

Sorry for posting so much of the code - but since I can't pin the problem down I suppose it could be just about any of it!

 

If anyone can see (the no doubt blindingly obvious) problem I would really really appreciate it.

 

This has been driving my nuts.

 

Thanks

Hugh

Did you close your div?  "</div>"

[TheFilmGod]

don't give us the php. Just give as the results. - Put the page on a server and view it in a browser and paste the code it comes out with it.

Hi

 

Sorry for the lack of reply.

 

I solved it by putting a style tag in the tables depicting a lower font size.

 

However, I discovered it was due to a Javascript tag above all the html

 

I moved it to within the head tags and it was solved

 

thanks everyone for taking interest in my problem
