Hi!
I am having a problem with code from cmsBuilder which changes the font size in IE7. It works properly in Firefox & Safari. Basically, the file "announcements_e3.php" has the code generated from cmsBuilder. The file "announcements_e.php" has no cmsBuilder generated code.
"announcements_e3.php" works correctly except in IE7 where the font increases in size based on the number of records.
You can see both at the following locations:
http://cycloneaircadets.com/announcements_e.php
http://cycloneaircadets.com/announcements_e3.php
Any help to clear this up would be greatly appreciated!

Ragi -
A cursory examination of your files seems to suggest a conflict between two of your 3 css files - base1 and base2. Firefox and IE can be rather fussy when it comes to interpreting certain styles and the fact that your current set-up is a bit "involved" will only complicate matters.
It's also worth noting that CMSB has a habbit of wrapping text in <P>aragraph tags. This often leads to unwanted "nesting" of css styles. A combination of this - together with the browser issues mentioned above - is the most likely cause of the font size problem in your examples.

I already checked the css files, and that is not the problem. Especially as if you go to http://cycloneaircadets.com/resources_e.php you will see that the CMSB used in this file works perfectly.
As for the <p> markings, I have also tried disabling them as per this post [url]http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/gforum.cgi?post=63416#63416{/url] but it still makes no difference to the font size.
However, thank you for the suggestions!

You also have unclosed <H2> tags around some of your headlines.
Again, Firefox and IE tend to render certain errors in different ways - hence the different results in the browsers.
As I tried to hi-light in my first post, the answers will be found in your code - not CMSB!

Perchpole: I apologize, you are definitely correct! I was up last night until 1am re-writing parts of the code & troubleshooting. I finally managed to correct the error (and, yes it was definitely the missing "/") around 1am... I was sure it wasn't the css, and as you noted, couldn't be the CMSB, so it really didn't leave much left!
Thanx again............
Thanx again............

Excellent. Glad you got it fixed. Sometimes there's nothing worse (in my book) than hunting down glitches that appear in one browser but not in another!
