Hey all. I've got a few problems with the new site I built scalability wise, and was hoping you could all help me out. The link is <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.unifiedbarcode.com/newtest/">http://www.unifiedbarcode.com/newtest/</a><!-- m --> - it's a redevelopment, and will be launching soon.
Anyway, if you load it into Firefox, most of it scales up just fine (a few menu issues that are fixable, although ems can suck) but if you scale it down the content gets knocked down too. I am floating it left, and the side navigation is floated left too - it was right, but changed it for scale reasons.
in IE, it doesn't scale at all! the main body text is set in pixels, but when i try to remove that or change it the whole page goes crazy since it's set in ems. not sure what to fix for this problem.
any help would be much appreciated - i'd post code here but honestly i'm not even sure what's really relevant to the IE problem. firefox is probably an easy fix that i'm not aware of.
thanks!I'd go ahead and validate it first. Good code is hard enough to debug.
it fully validates against w3c's css checker, and most of the pages on the site have perfect xhtml with a few pages being the exception.
next step?in IE, it doesn't scale at all! the main body text is set in pixels,Those go together. Instead of ems you could try %s.
