Burning the Midnight Oil
Feb. 10th, 2006 03:37 pmSo the muse hit me at about midnight last night and I just couldn't go to bed until it was propitiated. So there was me slaving over a hot pc making some significant changes to a site I'd been asked to make some years ago (those who know the tale of this particular site need no further introduction, those who don't know the tale probably don't need to). After an extremely profitable few hours I finally rolled into bed at about 4.30am.
This morning I take a look at the previous night's work and on IE it looks ok, on Opera it looks really quite good but on Firefox it looks like the html equivalent of a crayon scribble. I thought Opera was supposed to be the picky browser? I'm going to have to fix this at some point, there are too many Firefox users around these days to let it slide ... Grrr!
ETA: Fixed one aspect of the Firefox mess, improved on a minor visual trick on IE (though it doesn't work quite so convincingly in Opera or Firefox), now I just have to find a way to make the text render the same size across all three browsers ... waaaaaah!
