Web Pages Different In IE and Firefox

Is there a simple way of getting a website produced in NOF9 to look the
same in IE and Firefox?

My site looks exactly as I want it in Firefox, but in IE the fonts appear
to be bigger and it's nowhere near as good looking.

Edit your style.css in notepad or some other text editor. Place the
following hacks into the top of your stylesheet.

/**zero out margins & padding in non-IE browsers, set default font-size, add
vertical scrollbar on shortpages.**/

html,body {margin:0; padding:0; font-size:100%; height:100%;
margin-bottom:1px;}

*html {font-size:80%;}/**smaller fonts for pre-IE8 browsers**/

I use px for all my fonts and you won't see any difference between IE and FF

Thanks, Nancy, will give it a try :-)

I use px set to +/- 0 and IE always displays bigger :-(

I guess it's part of IE's failure to follow standards, or perhaps in its
default state it takes a 'Toys'R'Us' approach.

It may be that your sole purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others.

px can't be set to +/-

it needs to be set with a number such as 10, 12, 14, 16 etc or anything in
between

OK, I use +/- set to 0 then, whatever the units are :-)
