Problem with font size, not showing up as expected.

I've been wrestling with this for a few weeks now, but surely must be getting closer to having it resolved. It's just a problem with font size on just this one page.
http://www.kgngroup.net/logos_and_packaging.html
I want the body text to be 10px, but after two weeks, have played with every conceivable way, altering body font size in CSS and in the document itself. I've viewing it in Safari but others on Windows machines tell me that it is out of whack also.
My main problem is that I can change the font size to extremes but it still shows up as the same size in the browser (about 12px.) I know changes can be made because I can modify the wording and that does change online. It's just a problem with the font size. Oh, and in the third column, the one to the right, in Dreamweaver, the font looks like it is miniscule, cannot even be read, but in the browser, since the style11 is applied, all three columns look equal size.
Not sure where to go from here. I just want to get the body font down to 10 pixels.
TIA,
Ken

I guess this a follow up to your earlier thread

What would really help you in diagnosing issues such as this is to install the Firebug add-in for Firefox (as suggested in the earlier thread).
Firebug shows you visually what CSS rules apply to whatever element you click on the screen.
In this case, you have a confusion of CSS font sizes cascading on top of each other and that's confused again by mixing units for no real reason. .style11 is unnecessarily applied to lots of individual <p> tags. Remove those classes and delete the rule.
e.g.
The tiny font in the RHS column is affected first by
.style8 {
font-size: 0.5em;
affecting the <td> then by
.style11 {font-size: 75%}
affecting the <p> tag.
End result = tiny text (approx 2px).
In these cases of mass confusion, my approach is to strip out all font sizing from the CSS and start over.
Avoid %. Use px.
Apply font sizing rules logically starting from the <body> tag downwards.
That'll give you a solid baseline without weird effects.
Ah, I find your answer worth repeating.
Very cool that you have diagnosed so well and spelled it out here.
I will get the Firefox add-on you mention, plus, print out this response and follow it like a recipe.
It makes perfect sense and you have saved me from the 'clutter' of being wound up in too many directions with this because I could not make all of the connections that you have done here. I appreciate your help very much.
Thank You,
Ken

Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

Not sure if this is a fix, but I tried sending myself a test email from only the Bcc field, and lo and behold it now shows the Bcc field in all sent item previews;
...maybe leaving the 'To' field blank on purpose forced Mail to show it.
Rebooted the Mail program, still there - rebooted the machine, still there. Hope this is still relevant and it works for you too - J.

How do I fix a problem with .eps files not showing up properly in icon view

Actually my .eps files are not showing properly in any of the views but icon view is most important to me. I am using OSX.8.5 on a mac mini and mac book air. Almost all of my .eps files are conversions of .wmf files converted to .eps by WMF Converter software. All of these files used to be on a PC running windows Vista using ST Thumbnails explorer to be able to view thumbnails. For background info: I had to use a program to view the WMF files becasue hackers could put viruses into the thumbnail for WMF fies so instead of fixing the problem Microsoft disabled the thumbnail view for all WMF files.
A few of my .eps files are conversions of files created in CorelDraw 3x and converted to .eps in CorelDraw 3x. Both types of .eps files misbehave the same.
I downloaded one .eps file today from the internet to see if it would misbehave the same way (it does).
Here is the problem: After a reboot when I first view a folder that contains .eps files in icon view I can see the file contents fine. If I use the resize slider at the bottom of the window or resize the window itself then some or all of my .eps files revert to displaying the "generic icon" of a Loupe with a picture behind it. If i can manage to put the resize slider to exactly where it was then my icons display the file contents as they did before I messed with the slider. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when an icon will display as the file contents or when the generic icon comes up. In some folders all the icons display correctly at the smallest icon size and in other folders the icons may display correctly or as only generic or a mix of generic and file contents. Icons to files that came from the same source will not necessarily display the same way. Icons to files that came from the same source and were converted by WMF Converter at the same minute do not necessarily display the same way. If I display "info" for the files sometimes the previev pane of the info box will display the generic icon or sometimes it will show the file contents. If I take an .eps icon that displays properly and drop it into a folder where all .eps icons are displayed as generic then that icon displays generic. When I move that same icon out of that folder then it will display properly. Icon view, list view, column view and cover flow view all display differently with no discernable pattern. Sometimes I can see file contents in column view and not icon view. Sometimes in cover flow and not in icon view. It makes no difference if I have a handful of .eps files in a folder or hundereds of files in a folder. After an undetermined amount of time the icons might display properly again or maybe not.
What I have done so far: exhaustive search of the internet did not find anyone else with the same issue. I checked and fixed all disk permission errors that disk utilities would fix. I know that icon view and quick look are two different things, but, I did however, download and install an eps quicklook plugin that did not seem to make a difference for my issue. BTW Quick look sometimes works and sometimes not (no discernable pattern to this behavior either). I tried the cnet download fix for quicklook just for grins. It had me force QL to reload plugins and it's cache then I cleared out the QL configuration files. This did not seem to make a difference in the behavior of icon view or Quicklook. The only two things I have found to be consistant are 1) The "open with preview" always works but I know this is different because this preview actually generates a pdf view of the file. 2) When the icon does display the file contents it always displays correctly.
When you read this please be mindful of: I am a Microsoft refugee not yet familiar with the Apple world so you may have to tell me how to do "simple" things. I have no idea what is the difference between a "thumbnail" or a "preview" or the behind the scenes way that apple generates the icon appearance for the 4 different views.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I tried to insert a screen shot but got an error message when I did it.

Was the error number really 0XE8....

Problem with Css styles not showing in live view or when i browse

I am using Mac osx 10.6 and building website with Dreamweaver CS5. Sometimes div tags i create not showing styles or rendering in live view or when I browse but showing in design view. I looked in dreamwever faq and they talk about not showing in design view to toggle the display styles. That is not the problem becuase it is check marked and I tried turning off and turning on and made no difference.I am using firefox browser.
It happened before the other day too. But all of my other pages in this site that i have created the same way building with div tags and css styles. So not sure what the problem is. Maybe someone has a suggestion here.

Problems with some preferences not showing

I seem to have problem with Mac OS X Leopard system prefences, some settings like "Sound" and "Displays" don´t show anything, only blank page. I installed Leopard first without any language packs and only after that I installed the desired language so I´m guessing this is the root of the problem? I tried reinstalling the language pack but it did not change the situation.
Is there any hacks to make those work? This is minor issue but still annoying. The machine is iMac G5 so PowerPC version of Leopard.

You surely had to have one language pack present in order to install. What is the desired language you added later?

Problems with my Form not showing " Submit" button.

Hello.
I have finally managed to load my website thanks to the wonderful help from these forums, however, I now have a new problem!
My form on my contacts page does not display the “ Submit” button even though it clearly shows on my Mac on Iweb.
I have properly copied and written the html snippet, and it only shows people viewing my site on a Mac through Safari, but not on explorer or Firefox on standard PC’s. Why does it not work?
I am only using a form as people have told me by placing just your e-mail as a contact it attracts spam and so on.
Also the pages take a hundred years to load!
Is it possible that I need to reduce the size of the photos? Or, as friends have told me, is it because of my provider?
My website is www.claxtonolives.com.
It seems there is always a problem.
I noticed the olives at the bottom of the page display as a “ boxed “ picture also and each of the boxes do not display properly on the outlets page.
What is going on? As I have mentioned it all looks fine in Iweb on my mac.
Your help would be greatly appreciated!

You will need to make the snippet larger; large enough for Firefox and IE to be able to draw the submit button. Browsers draw elements in different ways and Firefox and IE are known to consume more space on the page to draw elements than all other browsers. In web design WYSI not necessarily WYG.
On the Contact page it's the Google map photo that requires some time to load. When you choose to draw a map instead of a satellite photo, loading time will be considerable less.

Help! Problems with Outlook Items Not Showing Up on My Palm Treo Calendar

"Previous" appointments and multi-day events on my Outlook calendar don't show up on my Palm Treo 750 following the ActiveSync.
Post relates to: Treo 750 (Cingular)

With respect to the past, you can set the period of time to go back. Recurring appointments may appear much further back than specified by this setting.
If you find the dialog that lists four checkboxes for Contacts, Calendar, E-mail, Tasks, select Calendar and click Settings. Here you set the period of time to sync, from 2 weeks to 6 months to forever. (Note: I have WinMo 6.1, so your dialogs/options might be different.)

Problem with Google AdSense not showing up on published site

I put the google AdSense on my site however all it shows on the site is a blank place holder is there anything else that I am supposed to do to get it to actually work.

Yeh i have the same problem. Can see all the adsense perfect on iweb. Not one on the site when i publish. when i copied the data for "google search" directly from adsense site it worked fine. But when i copied "text & images ads" they didnt show up at all.
I am totally lost as i am new to iweb.i did have the previous version and upgraded to '08. Could this be why there is problems. Might it work if i uninstalled iweb '08 then reinstalled it again.
How would i do this. Or would deleting the permissions help ???

Anyone else having problems with NFS mounts not showing up?

Since Lion, cannot see NFS shares anymore. Folder that had them is still threre but the share will not mount. Worked fine in 10.6.
nfs://192.168.1.234/volume1/video
/Volumes/DiskStation/video
resvport,nolocks,locallocks,intr,soft,wsize=32768,rsize=3276
Any ideas?
Thanks

Since the NFS points show up in the terminal app, go to the local mount directory (i.e. the mount location in the NFS Mounts using Disk Utility) and do the following:
First Create a Link file
sudo ln -s full_local_path link_path_name
sudo ln -s /Volumes/linux/projects/ linuxProjects
Next Create a new directory say in the Root of the Host Drive (i.e. Macintosh HDD)
sudo mkdir new_link_storage_directory
sudo mkdir /Volumes/Macintosh\ HDD/Links
Copy the Above Link file to the new directory
sudo mv link_path_name new_link_storage_directory
sudo mv linuxProjects /Volumes/Macintosh\ HDD/Links/
Then in Finder locate the NEW_LINK_STORAGE_DIRECTORY and then the link file should allow opening of these NFS point points.
Finally, after all links have been created and placed into the NEW..DIRECTORY, Place it into the left sidebar. Now it works just like before.

Hello, Oliver Chu.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are experiencing an issue with the performance of Safari. I would start with clearing Safari History and Website Data. If the issue persists, you may need to take a look at the troubleshooting steps in the second article.
Reset Safari
Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

PDF document opened with Preview does not show french accents

Hi everybody,
I've got some issues with PDF documents opened with Preview.
They show a blank space for all the accented vowels.
If I open the same document with Safari, it's the same. But with Chrome, it works perfectly.
I assume there's a problem with fonts, but, nothing wrong with fontbook (checked duplicates for instance).
Last information : it looks ok within chrome on my Imac, but the issue comes back when I try to print from chrome app...the accents are gone on the sheet.
Any idea ? I don't want to install Adobe reader...
Thanks for your help !
http://www.art-shots.net/

I don't want to install Adobe reader...
Why not? It can handle some pdf's that Preview can't. At least it's worth a try.
In case you change you mind get it from here.

CS6 - Arial Narrow fonts do not show up

I installed CS6 on a brand new computer with Win 7 Pro 64 bit. The arial narrow font will not show up in the pull down menu for fonts. This seems to be a common problem as there are a lot of results when searched online. I tried several of the solutions, but none have worked. Some people have said it is a Microsoft Office thing. I found a hotfix for Office 2007, but I am using Office 2010 so the hotfix does not apply. Has anybody ever figured this out? Please help.
