Curiouser and curiouser, as Alice said.

On the XP with Firefox, if I zoom in and out, there is one zoom level and one only, where the text is correct. All other zoom levels are wrong.

On the Vista laptop, all zoom levels are wrong on FF and IE.

Go figure.


I lied (about having all night). I am going to bed.

I agree I looked at the code and the <br>'s are still there.:/ He must have changed something because my views show more stacking then they did before.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

For example, Object 214 reads: Raputtak Dot Com followed by two hard returns that I added as Inger suggested I make space for an expansion.



Hi, I may not have been quite clear when I explained about allowing some space. It's in the width that you need to have some space. The height will expand when needed, and thuss collide with whatever is below it, if scaled up too much.

I just checked Support. I had this same problem back in March 2008 (SPW-691448) and was told to update to the latest version of VSD. And now it is back after another upgrade.

Hmmmm.

Inger, on your web site (eikweb) you use un-numbered lists for your text. Maybe I should try that.

The fix is you need to remove all those <BR> and <p> tags that are riddled through your website.

My site was built with the HTML Editor, not VSD. In fact, all my sites are built with the HTML Editor, unless they are very old (before 2005).

I went to the raputtak site in VSD. I removed all final <BR>'s and re-sized the text boxes to leave no space and published it.

In preview on the XP (where VSD is), in Firefox on the XP and on the Vista and in IE on the Vista all showed the boxes breaking funny.

It shows as

Raputtak Dot
Com

On VSD I have

Raputtak Dot Com

All View Source files showed a final <BR> on each box. Now, I had carefully removed these from the VSD source. Where did they come from?

I also added the date stamp so that I know I am looking at the correct version, i.e. it is not from cache.


Scott, I did that. VSD put them back.

I just re-checked that the boxes have no final carriage returns in VSD and re-published raputtak.com. View Source shows the boxes still have a final carriage return (<br>). This cannot be the solution. BTW, I typed the text into the boxes on the home page. I did not copy it from elsewhere.

OK. To sum up. We have VSD, a user-friendly, WYSIWYG html code generator. We have raputtak.com, a mostly text box only web page that displayed just fine until I installed Build 11 of V7.

We have two computers, two operating systems and two browsers. (No, make that three of each: I just heard from a friend that the uphilltheband.com site looks fine on his Mac! No overlap. I just asked him to zoom to see what happens.)

We have Inger telling me to add space and width in the boxes to allow for zoom; we have Scott saying that all these <br>'s cause the problem. We have VSD apparently adding a final <br> to each text box.

Why is this so hard?

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