Exclamation OMG IE does it again

Ive just had a phone call from a friend who was looking at my website.

she was using internet explorer 6, and she pointed out a horryfiing fact.

In IE when the text size is increased all the words run into each other and make it totally unreadable.

It works perfectly in firefox (suprise suprise)

I need to fix this extreemly fast guys, and i dont know where to start.

Please help

The url is http://www.cbmgroup.co.uk

Re: OMG IE does it again

just a quick look and it looks like because you set the line height to 25px on the body it overlaps.

try taking it out?

Re: OMG IE does it again

That's not your only problem. W3C validation shows 13 errors.

But to the original problem. This is why you should always size fonts and their related attributes such as line-height using relative values, i.e., 'em' and '%'.

Re: OMG IE does it again

have you got firefox? probably, check this link, you find some good extensiuons which show the errors and warnings

there are only warnings in the code, nothing major, but they should all be fixed soon. you then be able to see how your site really looks

Re: OMG IE does it again

thanks geoff, i'll get those fixed, allthough the first 3 errors are related to google requiring that mete tag to validate my site for analytics, so im not sure what i can do about that.

The others will be annihilated some time today.
