Hi there, I hope you can help, I'm creating a website for a client who owns a Macintosh computer. I own a PC and I'm setting my text to 'number 2' in Dreamweaver - my pages look fine. The problem is when my client looks at it on his Mac the text size seems to jump up at least one size turning pages into a mess. Does anyone recognise this problem and is there a solution.<br />
<br />
Cheers, Ken<!--content-->look at the code that dreamweaver created and make sure thats what you intend to do.These WYSIWYG editors are notorious for writing strange HTML<!--content-->I tend not to use WYSIWYG programs, i tend to program using raw code (try 1st page 2000) it is harder for people with little HTML knowledge but i picked it up quite quick because i had no idea WYSIWYG programs existed when i started...<br />
<br />
any way, right click the html document your text is in and select edit, a load of text will appear, scroll down untill you find the text you want to edit and change the tag <font> surrounding it to <font size="?"> where ? is a number from 1-5. I will stay this size in all browsers...<br />
<br />
The next step up is CSS where there is help on that at <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/learningwww.w3.org/Style/CSS/learning">www.w3.org/Style/CSS/learningwww.w3.org ...
