I don't know if it was here I read about this or not but if so, I am unable to
pull up anything when searching.
I read somewhere that the reasons there are font spacing complications when
viewing sites with Firefox and some other applications is because IE uses
available space to space things out while Firefox and others use exact
measurements of tables, etc. So when viewing a site in FF/Safari/Netscape, text
sometimes overlaps.
I have a client with a huge amount of text on her site and much of it is
spaced within tables. And no matter what I do, I cannot format it correctly so
that FF viewers are seeing what I see in IE. In other words, I see a perfect
site. Others using other browsers see a lot of text overlapping. I have added a
lot of extra spacing in as a workaround but now in IE there is TOO much space
and I still get some overlap in the others.
Somewhere somehow I read that there is code that you can insert into the pages
to ensure that there is not text overlap when viewing in other browsers. It
might have been a post about IE 7 but I am not sure.
Would anyone know this code, or know where to find it, and also know whether
it needs inserted within each text box or each page or just once for the site
(and where)?

Hi J500,
Sounds to me like u have the classic IE <--> FF problem.
Since IE scales things to make content fit and FF doesnt (if a dimension is
specified) it may be the fact that the containers have a certain height or
width specified.
I cant see if this is the case becasue i dont know what the url is...
But if this is not the problem can u post a link?
