css in ie not working

hey

does any body know of a good reason why css works in firefox but not in ie:

site: www.treble.lfhost.com/1024/

the css is loading but the text size is all wrong.

and one other thing, why don't png files have transparent bg's in ie? it's so annoying!!

The font issue is the lists, define ul and li - that should do it.

PNG's don't work in IE. They just don't use .gif 🙂

IE can display png, it just can't handle transparency of them.

IE7 does, doesn't it? What about Opera... hrmmm I should do some testing...

i tried ie7 and it didn't work for me, nor does some javascript that im using (but works with firefox). ie needs to step its game up...

im trying to use :

body {
font-size:12px;
}

but it doesn't work. ffs

look into using that, its written in javascript so can easily be attached to your site and basically "fixes" alot of IE problems (in your case, if you add "-trans.png" to the end of png files then it'll have a transparent BG in IE)

I dunno about IE7 yet. I haven't tried it.

just checked back into the png transparency issues and it seems to have been fixed... by itself!! strange. Just my text size i need to sort out now, any ideas?

to see what i'm encountering point firefox and then IE to http://www.treble.lfhost.com/1024/

Your font-sizes are fine.... it's just IE seems to interpret a pixel differently than FF.... it's not that noticable. The main noticible thing is the fact that the spacing is different in lists. Most likely a padding/margin issue, and not a font-size. You might try setting the font-size to just an "em" size (1 being normal point, 0.9 being 90% of normal, 1.2 being 120%). That would work better cross-browser 😉

You need to set the font size for lists.

For png's use png 8 (dont use png 24) it works in IE and firefox ...

thanks for the help, can't fix the text size but i guess it doesn't matter much. the li and ul helped the menus though, thanks 🙂
