Display issues

[Dean]

I developed a Website in FP2003. Used the Pre commands, so I could align some
data. Looks good in FP, On some machines - but others have the data out of
line - and on some - just a few lines with data mis-aligned.

Of course Mac is just awful

<pre>, unless specifically styled, produces text laid out exactly as
written in Code/HTML View, using Courier or Courier New as the font
face. This means that the lines will stretch to the same length as in
Code View, and indents will also be identical.

It is difficult to offer any realistic advice without seeing the page -
a link would be helpful.

The only <pre> tags are:

<pre style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0"><b> </b></pre>

and a group:

<pre style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0">&nbsp;</pre>
<pre style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0">&nbsp;</pre>
<pre style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0"><br></pre>

These will do nothing for the display except make blank lines.

Using FireFox, Opera and IE7 I can see no differences in these browsers,
even when changing the font-size and browser widths.

There are improvements you could make (these are my opinions)

1) Make the iFrame shorter - 400px maximum height. The present layout
requires manipulation of 2 vertical scroll bars.
Or 2). Elininate the iFrame altogether. The pages would be better as
separate pages instead of one page with iFrame linking to 3 pages. This
also fixes the scrolling problem.

3) For the text fields at the end of the form, use a table for layout
as you have for the check boxes.

Thanks for your input - we are going live with the look-n-feel. Will shorten
the iframe to your suggested length.

Thanks again
