Hi everyone,

So I have a strange problem, only on Internet Explorer (IE).

When I click on the Gallery ling on the top menu, il displays the gallery, but the font size increase from a normal to a big size.... Not the top menu but everything that is after that (left block, main gallery bloc).

If I click on the "Home" again everything is back to a normal font size...

Here is the adress of the website : http://www.clubfiat500.com  and you can log as test user (gallery) with gallery123 as password to see the change of the font size.

Any idea where it could come from ?

PS : everything works perfect with Firefox...

Thanks

I don't think it is something from the gallery. I think it is another script or code on that page or other html tag. I removed all the gallery code from that page and it still had the text size issue.

I have the same issue and it applies to the Gallery, the Store and the Classifieds & Auctions programs and the increased text font size in the tabs causes them to look really funky.  The nav bars affected are the exact same ones in each of the 3 programs.

In FireFox, all font sizes appear smaller, so there's no issue.  But with IE or Avant, the font size was affected significantly in these tabs.

I looked for the CSS for it, but I can't find it in the 3 programs or in the forum css.  I had the same issue with a couple of the forum nav bars as well, and the code which needed to be addressed was in the forum.css file.  The font-size:  code had to be added to those nav bar definitions.  However, I don't know what code defines the tabs affected in the gallery, store and classifieds & auction programs.

Attached are snips of the nav bars.

Thanks!

Do you have a link to a page that this occurs on want to compare a normal tab on your theme to the gallery tabs

[~ Phåråoh ~]

Here's a LINK.  You'll see the size of the text in the SEARCH tab vs the main tab.

The attachment has a better tab comparison.

I don't mind the size of the text, but as you can see, it wreaks havoc with the tab backgrounds.

Seems to be a bug with Internet explorer I will work on a fix for it.

[~ Phåråoh ~]

I can tell you that the size isn't anywhere near as exaggerated with FireFox.  I also have my main nav bar text font slightly smaller than default: .05em.  But, the Gallery, Store, and Classifieds & Auctions programs are still significantly larger.

Before you go digging into the files:  The snips were taken using Avant browser.  However, a co-admin uses Opera and the same thing happens using it.

With FireFox and IE, the font is a bit bigger, but it doesn't cause any problems with the tab bar width getting jammed-up because of the font size.  It looks normal.

That's why I asked about just changing the font size.

[~ Phåråoh ~]

Stilll need to know which file contains the CSS for the font size of these tabs!

[SMFHacks]

That would be in the style.css of the theme itself

[~ Phåråoh ~]

I worked with as many of the css files I could find, but couldn't locate the code which applies to those particular tabs.  Got pretty frustrated not being able to find it.

A pointing finger in the right direction would be greatly appreciated, if you have the time as this affects the same tabs in both the Store and Gallery.

Default theme.

Thanks!

I belive it is the maintab and mirrortab settings I really do not know the CSS well for themes though. All the tabs for the gallery,store use the same styles as the main tabs of SMF.

[~ Phåråoh ~]

I'll refer this to the SMF forum.  Just delete this whole topic.

[~ Phåråoh ~]

The font size change was in the style.css file - maintab section.  Thank you for your help!

[~ Phåråoh ~]

Now that the font size is corrected, I still have the problem with the maintab_first and maintab_last images being too large.

See reply #2 of this topic for the visual of the problem.

I'm sure that's because the text in the maintab_last is forcing it to wrap-around, creating a second line of text because the width of the entire tab line isn't wide enough to accomodate the width of the overall text length.  I don't want to make the text smaller (which I did try anyway) because it gets too hard to read.

I looked in the forum file index.template file, I looked in the store.template file, I lookedi in the css files.  I can find the code which defines the padding, size, etc, within the tabs, but not the code for defining the overall width of all the tabs together.

I could use some help on this as I am totally stumped.
