sometimes webpage font sizes are very tiny when you print them !

nobody@vox.com(osde8info) — Fri, 16 May 2008 17:26:05 +0100

I think I've just worked out why this happens ! Maybe it's because there is no CSS at all so that firefox 2.0.0.13 uses default system font-size (14px) or the text font size (in the CSS file) has been specified in pixels (px) instead of points (pt) !

i.e.

body { font-size: 12px; }

instead of

body { font-size: 12pt; }

This seems to be the problem with the WikkaWiki CSS style sheets so i've created a ticket http://wush.net/trac/wikka/ticket/764 and fixed my own WikkaWiki sites !

Here is what print / print preview looks like before and after you've added / fixed your firefox and/or CSS !

Browsershots makes screenshots of your web design in different browsers.
It is a free open-source online service created by Johann C. Rocholl.

When you submit your web address, it will be added to the job queue. A number of distributed computers will open your website in their browser. Then they will make screenshots and upload them to the central server here.

You can see some sample browsershots screenshots @

Maybe it's time to trash all bad browser hacks

nobody@vox.com(osde8info) — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 11:55:04 +0100

Why trash IE6 hacks?

I know this is difficult because about 37% (according to w3schools.com) of internet users are still using IE6. But, together we can make a different. Stop using IE hacks on your sites and let them see the ugly side of IE6. Eventually, they will find a better browser (ie. Firefox) or at least upgrade to newer version of IE.
