I have a web page at www.liubliu.co.uk which looks fine in FireFox, Safari, iCab or Camino but with Internet Explorer for Windows the text always appears too low, falling slightly underneath the pictures on the side which messes up the whole look. Does anybody know how to fix this so that it looks like the other browsers?

Hi Cornishman,
This is down to the way that Windows handles text, basically text in
Windows is slightly stretched compared to other platforms (there was
some discussion about this on the list a while back, when Safari was
announced for Windows I think).
If you want to prevent this from occurring you can use a conditional
statement in your pages that detects IE and if found reduces the size
of the text. This would be something along the lines of:
This would need to go at the end of the head tag so go to Page>HTML
Markup and select "Before ".
Not sure how desirable this solution is but I hope it helps!

Thanks Joe, I’ll give that a try but I already ticked the box to make I.E 6 compatible inside FW. Shouldn’t that already take care of this?

So far no joy with that solution, but I’ll keep looking. There must be an answer here.

Hi,
The conditional is in the wrong place. Open the Page>HTML Markup menu
option and select "Before ", cut the code out and select "Before

OK, I’ve done that now and selected the /HEAD but it still doesn’t appear to make any difference. Although I have added that to the html markup if I view source when the page is published I can’t find the relevant html text, even though I did a force republish first.

Sorry, the style should be “.greytext” instead of “greytext” (note the
dot before it), my mistake. I have double checked that this works this
time 
Cheers,

Done that but its making no difference at all or at least on my laptop running I.e 6 and 7. I wonder if I have some daft setting in I.E preferences that might be causing it. Literally the only time I ever use Windows is to check how a couple pages might work.

So, just to re-iterate, the code you need to add is:
You are placing it in the correct place, I can see it on your page
just fine.
