Website Main Headline doesn't show

Posted by dochow on Wed, 11/16/2005 - 13:49Firefox Press

Don't know if this the right 'pew', but:

My website Main headline w/logo doesn't show using Firefox. It DOES show in Explorer, Safari, and Opera. 

 This means I won't 'push' Firefox until everyone can see my site as other browsers show it.

Whazzup?

Actually I think it has to do more with your coding within the CSS file than Firefox itself. I checked out your site (the one in his profile) and at first glance the logo did not show up as suggested, however when visiting the logo linked as the background within the CSS file the logo then shows properly within the original HTML.

 My suggestion is to check out first to see if there aren't any errors within the .jpg file. Many times they become corrupted and don't show properly (it took a few times to actually view the image by itself, indicating this may be the main problem). Second, I would use absolute links within the CSS file and not relative. It will help out for the displaying of images (at least theoritically) and also help out for future development if you want to use directories later on.

 This problem has nothing to do with Firefox, it's simply just corruption of a file (most likely).

 You also realize that the dimensions of the file are 775x192 right? And you are only trying to display it within a 700 space. That screams problem by itself. You may also want to cut down on the file and compress it a little more. The page loads rather fast, but the image drags because it is 45kb while the rest of the page is probably 5kb. No need for that.

 Check out your own problems before accusing a browser of not doing its job.

You may want to try to use ems instead of pt. pt (aka Points) are generally used for printing ONLY. Meaning they view differently depending on the browser, resolution, mac or pc, etc. It's much better to use px and even better to use em on sites. I say em because IE still has the problem with font size increase within the browser (ie; changing from small to medium or medium to large). However, it does not have problems with ems.

Maybe you could post your URL so people could have a look. But bare in mind, this isn't a support forum. It isn't called www.fixfirefox.com its called www.spreadfirefox.com

You need to go to www.mozillazine.org
