| the real fix is to get away from html tags that are becoming depracated, such as the font tag, and begin using css to control formatting. |

CSS is really a great thing.
It'll be great when Snitz moves away from nested tables and use's DIV's and CSS  Kinda like Speedball (1,2 and soon to be 3) () |

I've seen several table-less sites...
but thats not what I'm talking about. I'm just talking about the code & quote tags at the moment, because sometimes when firefox resizes the text, its so small I have to copy & paste just to read it. |

I've noticed the same thing with FireFox, and not just at this forum.

| It's more likely to be FireFox doing it correctly and IE letting you off |

If so then Firefox's idea of correct is incorrect. :)

Why? Firefox is more standard compliant than IE. |

which equates to Firefox having less features. |

Less features in terms of features of the browser or features the browser can display in websites?
But that wouldn't make Firefox any less of a good browser to use, just because it is standards compliant. If you want a feature rich site using cutting technology, you just have to prepare for only IE users to visit your site. And to understand that majority of the browsers out now are standard compliant and that the browser market is moving away from IE.
There is still a lot you can do with the current standards proposed by the W3C, that can give you a feature rich site.
I can only presume that many web developers have gotten so use to IE's non-standard features and coding that they can't imagine using anything else. |

| I prefer the "rich fat" experience ... this is coming from a users point of view, not a developers, although I'll have to admit, I love all the extra stuff you can do with web development using IE. I just don't jump on bandwagons that easily like a lot of people I know that did with Opera and Firefox. I'm not a Microsoft Hater either so I don't look for alternatives... I'm immensely happy with the Microsoft products I use so I'll stick with it. I only use Firefox, Opera and Netscape to ensure my sites work sufficiently with those browsers. |

| I'm not anti-microsoft, but find that if you code for FireFox, chances are it'll work in other browsers. It's IE's CSS implementation that causes the problems, sure you've heard of the "box model problem", MS, in there infinite wisdom, decide to change the meaning of height/width! |

I don't really care if it's a standards thing or not, I have to squint too much to read quotes with Firefox. There are standards and there is usability and being able to read the screen is usability. If firefox is rendering 100% properly and IE is not, then this thread belongs in the forum bugs forum :)
Anyone know the applicable standard to this difference in text size rendering between IE and Firefox?
