I am redoing the branding for a very old website. For some reason the text appears absolutly tiny in firefox. I dont understand why? I have looked through the style sheet to no avail.


Plesae excuse the use of tables as this was a very old platform. Can anyone shed some light on what the problem is.


This is similar branding to which i used for anouter site with no such problems

 
Code:
BODY TD {
    font-weight: normal;
	font-size: 0.7em;
	color: #636163;
    line-height: 125%;
    font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica;
    text-decoration: none;
    text-align: left center;
}
It is this code along with the nested tables. This says that td inside the body tag will have 0.7 size font of its container. Now, with 3 nested tables that's 0.7 of 0.7 of 0.7 of 0.7em that is defined in the body tag. And that is small. If you get rid of that font-size declaration your font will get back to normal.
 
Hi cheers Vragabond. Thanks for the help. This sorts firefox has some funny affects in font sizing in Ie. But i guess that is to be expected with such a buggy browser.
