Re: New problem with Firefox


First your evaluation form still fails in both FF2 and IE 7 but not in IE6.

Second where do you get this 96 or 120 dpi from??
My screen is set to 1024 by 768 Pixels and the only other setting with this
hardware is only 800 by 600 Pixels.
Your evaluation form fails at either setting.
I have not tried to use the for I have only looked at its mixed up layout.

It is helpful to know that a centering option is now available. However,
that is not going to solve the problem of a FireFox user at 120dpi
visiting
my 96dpi site. They will find chaos.

Let me say something about our clients. Most (nearly all) are repeat
clients from a relatively small community -- lawyers and in some cases,
judges. They book mediations with us most often by phone and mail.
However,
they have booked a considerable number online -- probably a couple of
hundred
in the last two years -- and we have received (my coordinator tells me
now)
only one complaint, vs. dozens of thank you's for making this feature
available. That's what leads me to believe that we have a preponderance
of
aol and yahoo users (IE works with both 96 and 120 dpi), and whatever
FireFox
users are out there are set at 120dpi. In other words, our clients know
in
advance they are either going to use us or someone else -- a
non-functioning
forms page won't lead them elsewhere.

I like your idea of the link to a 96dpi version of the web site for
FireFox
users. But although I think Publisher is a good, easy-to-use web
authoring
tool for simple sites like mine, I am baffled by the "padding" issue. I
can't imagine developing software that will publish files at a default
96dpi
knowing that you are going to have 25% of the right-hand side of the page
blank. I know some sites do this -- link to Love Field or DFW Airport
from
our web site -- but unless you know in advance this is the way it is going
to
look and design your pages accordingly, your site is going to look weird.

I had thought I might just set my left page margin at about 20% of the
page
to give the illusion of centering. That would give me 55% of the viewable
screen for my content, and then instead of using big blocks of color and
text
boxes inside frames laid out like a newsletter or brochure, I would let
text,
photos and graphics "float" over a background color or texture.

Meantime, I have republished the pages at 120dpi as before, and I'm
relieved
that everything works on both IE and FireFox. Whew. Thanks again -- now
I'm
going to visit your info on centering.
