I installed Internet Explorer 6

I installed Internet Explorer 6 at work yesterday and found the fonts on this page were smaller than they appear in IE 5

Could it be that *gasp* Microsoft is finally using the sizes as defined in the W3C spec, rather than their own goofy system?

Well, all it means is I have to rewrite the PHP that decides which style sheet to use to show the “proper” one to IE 6 users.

    Speaking of complying with W3C, does anyone know if Netscape 6.1 handles tables better than 6.0?

  4. JohnnyB Says:

    I used the latest Mozilla on this page and it wrecks my tables. *grumble*

    Ooh, I just realized that “jwcat” is awfully close to “JCat.” I’d better be careful not to call Jamie a Star Wars nerd. ;-)

    OK, I’ve changed my name. I like this one better anyway.

    Oooh, did yousa change it on The Force boards, too?

  8. Darth Surly Says:

    Actually, I want to, we’ll see. More overtly geeky, not secretly geeky.

  9. JohnnyB Says:

    Looks like you’ll hafta start a new account on the boards if you want to change your name.

    YaBB will let you change your displayed name, but I don’t think Snowboard, the program TheForce.net uses, allows that.

  10. Darth Surly Says:

    Yeah, but that’s OK. I don’t really care.

    Hey, aren’t I supposed to be heckling and bothering you, not being engaged in conversation?! You suck!

    I can see why you chose that name. Sheesh.
