Is any one experiencing text size compatibility issues with the new MS Internet Explorer version 9 browser and the iPad 2 browser? My text words are wrapping and overlapping other objects on my sites that were built using VSD.

I just invested some time and found that making the font style Arial, and ensuring that there is a space at the right hand end of every text entry works in about 98% of the cases.

Take a look at http://www.lupobituary0.lupinskifuneralhome.com/

The 3rd name on the list still wraps and I have tried retyping and copy/paste. This is my only problem using IE 9 and iPad2 browser. I am happy.

I would say your site looks good. Don't sweat such fine details has you can't control what browser people are using. If it looks good in IE8 and FX you should have 90% + of the market covered.

Yep - and as with all BETA's, (and has been mentioned here before) one should not be too concerned with minor problems that show up when viewing your work in them. Make sure it works in what is current and you will be fine.

BTW - IE6 is destined to be doomed http://www.theie6countdown.com/
Living the dream, stocking the cream :D

Yes, I'm having problems with iPad2, too. Glad to see I'm not alone.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
