Subject: Improvement, but...

Tim,

It's an improvement, but for me the font is far too big and it's different between different browsers. I tend to use IE5 on a Mac most of the time, but occasionally I use NS4 or NS6. The site looks different in each of these browsers. The only one it looks good in is NS4.7.

It's not that difficult to come up with x-platform stylesheets. I used to use 3 versions of the same stylesheet for the different browsers and use PHP to decide which one to link, but these days I've seen the errors of my ways and simply write cross-browser stylesheets which work instead.

If the font size was more regular, it would make a big difference.

Perhaps try specifying the font size in the stylesheet using "px" as the size unit, rather than using relative sizes. This always works for me.

One other thing, try splitting the page up a bit more rather than having 1 big table. This should make the pages render quicker on the browsers and means that the whole doesn't have to load before rendering can start.

Best,

Mark
