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:

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!

Ragi -

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............
