Frontpage problems

mdman10 · 03-08-2005, 10:55 PM

I have a website and on the index page there is some text. I made the site using frontpage. I changed the font size of the text to a smaller size, didn't like it, then changed it to a larger size which I liked. When I view it in my explorer 6 and the frontpage viewer it looks the way I want it. But when the tech support people for my hosting company view it with there explorer 6 the text is a smaller font size. It only takes up 6 lines and on my computer it takes up 10 lines ( larger font size). No one at my hosting company's tech support department can figure out why the two different font sizes and appearance. One suggestion was errors and another was descrepancies of different browsers. But I don't believe that they are the real problems because of the difference in the number of lines in the text section (from 6 to 10). That type of difference seems to be caused by the text font size only. Another possibility that was brought up was cache, but I don't think that the tech support peoples computer had visited my site during the times I was changing it around. My site is located atwww.holdemhumor.com Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

I think it would be ok to leave it a tad smaller. Other than that not sure.

Do something up top and amaybe a little oelsewhere, its empty looking.

Also for the text I've read many threads here about it, if you code it a certain way the fond will show up on the user's comp how they prefer it (aka: ie has the ability to increase and decresase a font size base on their prefs) Just something to keep in mind, if you look thru the coding forum ( use the search ) you should be able to find the information that you need / are lookin for.

Could it be two diff. files like index.htm and index.html?

Thanks for the input. I dont think there are two different files for the index page, i checked the website in the computer and only see the one. It definetly is acting like that though. Also I erased all the files on the hosting site and republished.

mdman10 - Can you show us a screenshot of what you see?

I only see 6 lines and in IE it stays the same even if I change the text size in the browser or the browser window size.

I see the 10 lines and in the code it is set to be 16pt and there is no index.htm only index.html

Maybe it is because you tell it to use "Castellar" as a font but not all users have that font on there box so vill be precentet with the default font, another thing is that you dont have any doctype defenition so you force the browser to go into querks mode with all the problems that give

Good point. Do you have that font? I don't. I see Times, instead.

Hi,

The font you chose was Comic Sans MS size 7. They touched on it above, computer setup, font availability, etc.

If you want people to see a font exactly the way you want it you have to use a graphic.
