IE question

October 16, 2011 - 5:38am — WonderfullySarcastic

To anyone using an older version of Internt Explorer (or anyone, really) is coding a biography with CSS possible in IE? I ask because I can't change my text size to a smaller size, it ends up bigger. And I'm sure that IE is not the best browser to view CSS in. I figure if it's a battle with font size and viewing others' bios, I don't want to battle CSS all together.

I can no longer upgrade IE

I can no longer upgrade IE since I do not run Win7 or Vista (still using XP). I'm running 8.0.6 or somesuch.

Yes, it is possible. I don't do a whole lot of CSS, but what I do generally works. And what doesn't work usually doesn't work because I'm doing something wrong

Try using  to make smaller text, instead of . I tend to have more success with that. You can use multiple  codes to get smaller and smaller text. In example:

text
text

text
text

I generally don't have trouble viewing other people's bios, either. Every now and then it'll be too large for my screen or a text box won't scroll correctly, but most of the time everything works just fine.

Thank you, Aivilo! By chance,

Thank you, Aivilo!
By chance, you wouldn't happen to know if anything coded in IE turns up different when viewed by other browsers, would you? Like, when people add "Best viewed in ____", is IE a pain about that?

Not usually. I don't code as

Not usually. I don't code as much as I used to and I don't play with other browsers a whole lot, but from what I recall, if it works in IE it usually works in other browsers. The opposite is not always true, however (for example, a page coded in Firefox may not show up nicely in IE).
Of course there are exceptions here and there, but when I built pages I tended to have less trouble making things work from browser-to-browser when I started with IE.

Coding on TEF seems to have its own set of quirks, however xD

Aivilo, you are so helpful! I

Aivilo, you are so helpful! I hadn't thought about that, viewing something that was coded in a browser other than IE and then one coded in IE and viewed on another! So smart :>

Thank you!

Haha, no problem - I'm glad

Haha, no problem - I'm glad to help.
I keep 3-4 browsers on my computer so that I can flip between them if I'm having trouble or want to make sure something works in other common browsers.
