In this page the font is not displaying correctly, but it's fine on other pages. Another frustrating one - there's supposed to be a graphic for Acrobat Reader with a link to download the software on this other page and it's not showing in either FF or IE. It's probably something simple that I'm just not seeing. I can post my stylesheet if that will help.

The image displayed OK in both. _____________________________ Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will dance, or more on your keyboard.

Marissa, might be a small thing to over look, but you're missing your Doctype....

And from your CSS:

body{
	background-color: #FFFFDF
}

P {
	font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial;
	font-weight: normal;
	color: black;
	font-size: small;

Alter it to look like so:

body{
	background-color: #FFFFDF;
	font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial;

}

P {
	font-weight: normal;
	color: black;
	font-size: small;

And please excuse me for picking this out, but you have an unclosed <p> tag:

<p align="center">Fredericksburg, Virginia 22407</td>

The main reason for it not working is, you are applying the CSS style to the <p> tag, and not the whole body, so only the content within the paragraphs will be styled, the content outside of them will take on the style of the users "default" fonts. In most cases TNR, 1em, black.

I hope that's not too confusing

Dan

I'm very much a beginner in CSS (and web work for that matter) so I really appreciate the help from all of you. I still can't figure out why I can't see the Adobe graphic but I'll worry about that later. _____________________________ Marissa Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. --Albert Einsten (in reply to Giomanach)

I still find that the font size is smaller in FF and this compounds it #navcontainer ul { .. font-size: smaller; ..} #navcontainer ul li { display: inline; } #navcontainer ul li a {.. font-size: smaller; ..} I found that if I removed the second font-size smaller it displayed OK, it was inheritance there giving a smaller version of smaller. There is a previous thread dealing with font sizing here covering relative font sizing for all browsers and a good site for fonts and CSS is the noodle incident Dan and I diverge on relative and pixel precision _____________________________ Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will dance, or more on your keyboard.
