Hello. I am a Chinese girl. Recently, I work in a company, and found a website with my colleague. I manage the English edition. But I run across a problem. One of my friends told me that if he uses IE to open my website, the font is too big and if he uses Firefox to open, the website become normal. I don't know why there is such difference. And when I introduce the website to other foreigners, they think my website is "a contact spammer gig"(actually I don't understand these words). I don't know why, my website just for transmiting Chinese culture and antiques knowledge. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my website.
For one who cares your a chinese girl I'm a white boy, i though the chinese where smarter them the whites any ways no one will understand your problem without links!
I tested your site with Mac IE and Mac Firefox. Each site looks fine... Font varables are sometimes browser dependent. Q...
Thank you very much!! Now, I set my heart at rest. I always worry about this questions. I am afraid that this question may cause my website like a harm website and little people want to visit it. Then, I can continue to add more contents to my website and let it become a famous website of Chinese culture. Thank all the people who have paid attention to my questions!!!!
Well, font does look a bit smaller in Opera than in IE, but not significantly. You may want to use special conditional elements for IE to include the code that only IE will see to adjust the font size. It may be daunting, but you may try if you have other IE-only stuff. Another approach you can try is to try using different measurement units, such as points (pt), ems (em) or percentages (%) when defining fonts in CSS. An efficient approach is to specify a font for the page body and use percentages or ems for other elements, which will be based on the body specific font size (such as 12pt, for instance).
