Hi,
I've been lurking here since some weeks and I've learnt a lot from the
regulars' advices.
I'm working by hand on my first web pages, using only CSS for the visual
presentation and HTML for the content, no frames, no flash animations, no
unuseful tables, and taking care of accessibility.
Now I need to better know some things:
1) I've read from you that you don't like that the author changes the
font-size of the body; is it so wrong if I use a font-size: 0.9em; ?
I have font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; and with the
normal font-size I find the characters too big. I need Verdana because with
the other fonts the point in the regular expressions is quite invisibile.
2) I've tested the pages in MozillaFirebird 0.7, Opera7, IE6 and Netscape
7.1. Why in IE6, and only there, if I hover on a link in the content div,
that line and that above shift a bit to the left? Is there anything I can
do to avoid this bad effect? It makes me crazy!
3) I use a simple script to show the last update in the bottom right of
every page, with the property document.lastModified. I've noticed that
Firebird instead shows the current date, and Opera shows 1/Gen/1970.
Are they a known issue? Is there a work around?
(note that today all the browsers show the current date because I've
updated all them this morning)
The address is: http://fido.altervista.org/
the css is: http://fido.altervista.org/my.css
the JavaScript is: http://fido.altervista.org/update.js
Thank you very much!
