mac safari has css issues that can be corrected... 1

Safari - be default makes fonts smaller - this can really blow up your pages when testing.


to fix:
PREF > ADVANCED > CONTENT > STYLE OPTIONS > PRESENTATION MODE

make sure none of the "use mys" are checked

i also noticed it does not recognize the <b> tag

So if the 'fix' involves altering settings on your browser how do you get your users to do it?

Isn't it better to use font size keywords in your CSS.

Following on from foamcow's comments...

You may get some value reading my FAQ on how to ensure the font sizes are consistent across platform and browser... faq215-6624

There is no such "CONTENT" section to my Safari v2.04 preferences (most recent version running on MacOSX10.4.9). Is it possible you are running an old version of Safari (pre v1.2) that might have this preference option? Maybe you have installed a plug-in or extension for Safari?

I have never experienced any problem with using the <b> tag. If you reduce your font size below a threshold then there is no visible difference between normal weight text and bold weight text - and that may be what you are experiencing. Or it's possible you have set a user stylesheet that defines the font-weight style to be normal for the <b> tag... just a guess.

If it turns out to be a particular plug-in or extension, I'd be interested in knowing more about it (if only to familiarise myself with it).

Cheers,
Jeff
