IE and FireFox viewing text in tables differently. Neex a fix

InfiniteVoid · Mar 26, 2006

Hello on my page when viewed with IE the spacing between the text in
the tables is close together. When I view my page in firefox the
spacing between the text lines it very spaced out. Any way to fix this
to make it look the same on both?

Thank you for your time.

I would not worry too much about that. No ordinary visitor is going to
use more than one browser to see your pages.

Oh. To tell the truth, I am getting rather tired of seeing new sites
with severe low-contrast, unreadable micro-sized fonts. I had to
increase the font size to about 130% or so just to read the text, and my
eyes are quite good.

<font size="1" face="verdana, arial">

...is how it was done in the last century. Learn to use modern HTML 4.01
Strict and CSS, and get rid of all that ancient presentational HTML
code. Also look into not using tables for layout, and using fluid
design.

Part of his problem was moment ago the doctype was

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">

Just changing your doctype without any other modifications will not help
the situation. Very obsolete markup. Need overhaul.
