IE CSS Hell - Font Sizes In IE & FF

As per usual with IE and its awkward behaviour, I am having some trouble with font sizes.

FF displays them as they should be IE7 displays them as they should be but IE6 plain refuses to play ball.

I'm just wondering if this is one of those occasions that now forces me to make a style.css for IE6 using the IF statement in the header?

Whats actually happening...

I am using a dropdown menu made from CSS and UL tags and it has its own font control currently set to 12px

But IE6 seems to be displaying the font as what ever it sees fit to dispaly it as.

I am going to post the URL but in a form that is non readable as an URL to spiders beacuse i dont want it indexing just yet.

sweet-machines [dot] com

my css is located at that url plus /css/style.css

Any advice here would be good!

Thanks


EDIT// Had an idea to try and remove the font-size element fromt the menu's css. This had some effect in that the font is now a little larger but it is still no where near the size it should be.
So obviously there was a conflict between the bodys font size css and the menu's font size css but it's still not completely cured.

Suggestions anyone?

I'm not great at navigations yet but I do have a menu on a site very similar.
And yes I did have to use an IEonly stylesheet.

Here is what the stylesheet looks like:

Code: Select all

body {
behavior: url(csshover.htc);
font-size: 100%;
} 
#menu ul li {float: left; width: 100%;}
#menu ul li a {height: 1%;} 

#menu a, #menu h2 {
font: bold 0.8em/1.2em arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}

Thanks Lcahd for confirming my thoughts.
Always best to check.

I will set up another style sheet just for IE

I did however find this helpfull for making minor changes

While this is effective for small changes (as it states in there) I'm not sure how many other problems I might encounter that may need more IE only code so for me the IE sheet is my best bet.

Hopefully that link will prove usefull for someone only wanting to alter one or two things like margin & font.

Thanks for all your input
