Re: The New Site

> I am a mac user and there is one particular thing on Macs that you > should know: their text size is much smaller than that of a PC. I am aware of this, and I did try to test it on as many platforms as possible. Of course (just like the last time we re-designed the site), we rely on comments like yours to fix particular bugs that I can't see myself! :) The whole font size problem is a huge pain. We've tried various combinations and someone is always unhappy, unfortunately. The best solution we decided was to not define pixel or point size in the style sheet, but to just use percentages. That way, the text should be relative to your particular browsers default size. > Problems in IE 4.5 MAC: > Text is way too small, have to raise it a size or two just to read > it. Even still, smallest is hard to read. > HTML seems to work, no other problems found I've fixed the size of the sidebar text on the main page. Does that help? > Problems in NS 4.7 MAC: > Text size is ok. > The left and right panels overlap making it hard to read. This is a known problem with Netscape 4.7 on Macs, AFAIK. There is no DHTML positioning, like on the old site. So basically NS can't render tables properly. :( Can you send me a screen shot anyway ... maybe I can find a fix. > I see where you were going with this site, it was a very good idea. > Unfortunately ideas don't work in all browsers. Well, thanks to your comments, maybe I can get it to work on a few more. :) Thanks again! - Colin
