Sitecheck please - IE & Opera VS FF & MZ

[Web Learner]

Could someone please take a look at http://www.around-the-world.com/ and
specifically at the 'Airfare Only' link on the left?

On mouseover at this link, a menu pops open. However, the contents of this
menu display quite differently on various browsers. Using IE6 or Opera
8.51, the menu displays correctly. However, using FF 1.5 or Mozilla 1.7,
the menu contents appear to be grotesquely enlarged!

Incidentally, all menus on the page are generated from the same CSS.

Any idea why this is happening and how this could be fixed / avoided in
future?

Another question about this page: Is it reasonable to assume that a very
large proportion of the audience targeted by this site would be using Java
enabled browsers? If not, is there any way to have the rotating images
display without employing Javascript or some other plug-in that needs to
be downloaded? Any comments would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Edit the font size in indexleft.htm page include:

<font face="Verdana" size="4" color="#FF0000">Airfare Only</a>

try size="2"

see if that helps.

Rob,

Yes, I thought of that myself. However, that tag is supposed to affect
only the label "Airfare Only" and not the contents of the menu (which are
controlled by the same CSS file for all menus on the page).

Moreover, that does not explain why the page displays OK in some browsers
but not on others.

Any other ideas?

Thank You

Go through the page and close all your opened <font > tags. Very few
of these are closed, and only IE and Opera are forgiving of bad HTML.
