Re: New problem with Firefox

Thanks for all the input. I think the problem is that most of our clients
(and friends who are FF users as well) have their displays set at 120 for
easy reading, so they have not noticed any problem. The site was created
more than two years ago with the display set at 120dpi and we have literally
had zero complaints and the forms are in use by clients regularly. In fact,
some of you visited the site back then with both IE and FireFox and noted no
problems. Over the weekend, I reset my display to 96dpi and found the same
problems you have noted here. I have redone some pages that look okay now in
96dpi but requre horizontal scrolling to view in 120dpi. I notice other web
sites look the same in both resolutions. How do I fix this size problem,
since so many people are viewing our site with 120dpi displays? And thanks
again for your always helpful suggestions.

I remember your site now that I see it. Still looks good in IE, but yeah,
that forms page I looked at was unusable in FF. In fact all the pages look
pretty bad in FF, with all the graphics oversized.

I suspect that Rob is correct in that it is not the *size* of the monitors,
but it may be related to the settings of the monitor you use to produce your
site with. Publisher HTML output is at a default of 96 dpi, and you can end
up with jumbled pages if you publish with a monitor set at 120 dpi.

Right click your desktop > Properties > Settings > Advanced. If your DPI
setting is 120 dpi, then change that to 96 dpi, and OK out. Open your
Publisher web publication, Publish to the Web and produce new web files.
Direct those files to a folder on your computer where you can easily find
them. Then open and test the .htm files on the computers where the pages are
all jumbled in FF. Do the pages look OK in both FF and IE?

David F.: A couple of years ago you were of invaluable assistance to me
in
getting my company's web site up and running using Publisher 2003. I had
issues with Firefox which you and others helped me solve; I downloaded
Firefox at that time, and after a bit of tweaking, my site worked
perfectly
on Firefox, and it still does. However, at my office we have recently
installed new computers with 20" LCD monitors and also Firefox. Now the
web
site has numerous minor glitches and a couple of major ones that I
attribute
to a sizing problem. First, text boxes throughout the site are re-sized
much
larger so the text no longer fills the space. This is a cosmetic problem
only; one that I could live with (but would rather not). But I have two
submission forms that are very important, and these have buttons and boxes
that have moved up on the page and are now not synced with the text that
tells what the buttons and boxes are for. So far, we have received no
complaints from our clients, most of whom probably use IE, but I would
like
to fix this problem if possible. My URL is http://www.burdin-adr.com.
Thanks.
