Hi,
Not sure if this is a bug or not - or if it has its root in Views, as I see the same problem in panels. I am running panels everywhere also.

The site looks fine in Firefox, but when viewed in IE I get massive font sizes that seem to get bigger the further down the page you go. Sometimes a corner of one letter fills the whole screen!

This happens to views fields when re-written with header tags EG

[title]

Also happens in Panels - custom content EG

title goes here

In Views when I apply the header tags via the semantic views module everything works as it should - so that's a good work around, but Id be interested to see if anyone else is experiencing this?

Joe

Sorry - I didnt mean to put everything into a heading font! Forgot the code tags.

Attached to this post is a screenshot from panels and views showing what I tried to show above :-)

Just noticed it happening when I add header tags to the taxonomy description as well, so this isnt directly to do with views or panels - but maybe panels everywhere??

Please move if you feel this would be better in another place,

Thanks, Joe

It's most likely something in your theme; nothing in any of these modules adds font CSS, or font tags, so I can't imagine really what any of these modules might be doing to cause it. You should try it in garland.

Ok thanks Merlin,

It's in Tinsel at the moment - but it has been modified a little. I'll try it with the original tinsel to see if any of the mods have done this - but I'm just scratching my head thinking what could possibly cause fonts to appear so huge in just one browser, and get bigger all the way down the page. Its like a knock on effect.

hopefully I'll get to the bottom of it.

Thanks for your reply - that helps me in what I need to be looking for.

Marking as closed - will post back here if I find an answer.

Hi Merlin,

I'm going to re-open this thread as I've found the cause of the issue and thought I'd let you know - feel free to close it if you want...

When using Tinsel the heading tags font sizes are in percentages. For some strange reason when using Internet Explorer these percentages sometimes start to stack up on top of each other so that the fonts get bigger as you go down the page.

This happens when wrapping the header tags around fields in panels or in a view - either via the global text/rewrite field/custom field or custome theming views php.

The only time it doesnt happen is when semantic views controls the display style - presumably because it cleans out whatever is making IE stumble.

Of course firefox is fine :) Just another IE headache probably. Noticed on a few sites, some with fairly fresh installs.

cheers, joe

This is almost certainly theme related. It's possible that there's some kind of cascading thing in the CSS that's causing the escalation. In any case, neither Views nor Panels does anything to affect font size by themselves.

Yes definately theme related and not at all the fault of views, panels or panels everywhere. As you said in your first reply none of these modules does anything to the CSS font stuff.

I just wanted to find out whether it was my theme changes which caused this, but I just tried it on a bare bones Panels everywhere install - Tinsel/Panels everywhere/panels/views/ctools with nothing custom and got the same problem.

Have moved it to the Tinsel queue but left as fixed as the easy solution is just to change the font sizes to points instead of percent.

Thanks for the replies, Joe

Can you provide an export so I can recreate it? (Hopefully the export doesn't depend on too much stuff).

sure thing - to save time have put it online for you here (in the subfolder pantest):

http://europa.servers.rbl-mer.misp.co.uk/~nativemu/pantest

user:admin / pass:admin

The views display page is here:

http://europa.servers.rbl-mer.misp.co.uk/~nativemu/pantest/?q=pantest

The install is a fresh drupal + tinsel + ctools/panels/panels everywhere/views with 1 node and one view - nothing else. It does it in IE 6/7/8.

If you want the files and db as well I can always send over the links.

Also if it turns out not to be a generic issue dont waste time as I'm using points for font size now so it's not a problem for me.

Cheers, joe
