In the CSS template, changed
Site Template
-
h1, h2, h3, h4, h4 {
-
/* setup some more readable header spacing */
-
padding-bottom: 5px;
-
margin: 15px 0;
-
}
-
-
body {
-
line-height: 135%;
-
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
-
color: #1D2D45;
-
}
to
this:
-
h1, h2, h3, h4 {
-
/* setup some more readable header spacing */
-
padding-bottom: 5px;
-
margin: 15px 0;
-
}
-
-
body {
-
/* line-height: 135%; Causes line overlapping when using large fonts, remove this */
-
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
-
color: #1D2D45;
-
}
1. Don't know what the double h4 is for, could it be just a typo? Anyway, no adverse effect with or without.
2. line-height line is EVIL. It caused the large font text (36pt, or '7') to overlap, making the preceding post 'MOST PEOPLE ARE OTHER PEOPLE.' impossible. Deleting this line made everything WYSIWYG-peachy in the rich text editor again ;)
2) FireFox vs. IE (again) : 3-0i.
IE7 or IE doesn't seem to like AJAX.If you post a comment in my blog (using !JoomlaComment, and excellent component) using IE, it has to reload the whole page to display the new comment, whereas in FireFox, it just loads and displays the new comment AJAX (like in FaceBook photo albums.)
Either the JoomlaComment component was scripted to not use AJAX when using IE - or it's: because AJAX wouldn't have worked on IE anyway, it was then scripted this way.
Well, an objective comparison of the relative inconvenience of IE... 1-0 in favour of FireFox.
ii.
Another is, in some free templates online, there's a separate CSS file for IE, usually with the opening comment line, something along the lines of:
/** IE6 is a hunk of crap!!! don't ask me why this is needed **/
LOL...
Yet another reason to use FireFox.
iii.
Another quirk of IE (I am using the 7th generation of IE to test) is that the progressive loading of this very page seems to be timed very 'choppily'. That is, IE will load the top banner....... then display nothing while loading the rest of the page..... wait.... wait.... then pop, out comes the whole page -- just b4 you click the 'X' close button.
In FireFox, the page progressively loads and displays objects as it does, letting you know that it's doing something and isn't frozen.
Besides that... Just a thought... Haven't seen many other blogs using Joomla as their engine. 99.9% I see are using WordPress.
