IE7 Problems text problems

Post by yorgi63 »

Hi all,

Looking for help again... It seems that in IE7 the text I paste in content on any page seems to double space. It does not do it in Safari or Firefox but in IE 7 in does this:

But everything turns into tiny dots at the bottom.

Any ideas?  It looks fine and I have tried pasting in text and word.

I am also having an issue where a page with tables seems to crash IE7, no idea why. And one of the tables runs off the page. Again I am

here is the link for the table site are: http://www.denibonet.com/index.php?page=buy-it-2-2

HELP, I have never ever run into this before. I may be missing something obvious.

Have you tried taking the "height" parameter out of your tables?

Just removed it off the tables. Of course I do not have a Windows so if you can tell me if that worked great. If not I'll try browsershots. Any idea on the text other than when they posted new text they did not set a font and size.

Thanks!!

It's still screwed up in IE. The tables are a mess and there's a lot of empty divs and unnecessary font tags. It needs a LOT of cleanup.

Are they copying and pasting from Word?

What a nightmare! They did but I started switching it over to just plain text and then setting the font in CMS.

Perhaps I should delete the area in the CMS and start again. Any suggestions on setting the tables from scratch in CMS this is the fourth time I am doing it and it keeps messing with me...  ??? 

I am really in a bad bind

Karma sent again and again...

Thanks!!

When I'm copying text from Word, I usually paste it into notepad first, to get rid of the Word formatting info, then paste it into the web page.

Why don't you use the Cataloger module for that page. I think it will do what you want, but will make it easier to organise.

You know I was thinking about that Cataloger. Are there any issues with IE7 :)

Thanks you for all the help.

Thanks for the help I added the item and got the code in the middle of the page. Any ideas?

/modules/Markdown/Markdown.module.php on line 105

Thank You for everything. I owe you bigtime.
