Wonder Y some sites show text etc overwritten (i.e. not spaced out)?

Hi,
Only seen this since last upgrade (using on Kubuntu Lucid). Some text on some sites is overwritten. Could be bad design but seeing quite a bit of this but cannot see any obvious reason. I also have a new monitor but as nothing else is giving problems!!
I have searched around but found nought on this (yet).
Many Thanks.
Paul.

Such issues can also be caused if a different font is used on pages that is wider than the specified font. If you do not have the specified font and Firefox uses a font that is wider then you can get that problem. Some websites are also coded badly and use absolute positioning or specify a fixed height.
If you can't solve it via [[Websites look wrong]] then please post a link to sites that look wrong.

    Hi graceandgirl,
    Welcome to the forums... The thing that I would like to bring to your attention is that the safari browser in the iPod is not near the equivilance of a regular computer.
    As it can't do flash or some advanced scripts, especially if requried by a the client (in this case your touch) to complete.
    Most of the main stream websites I've had no issues with, but again you will run into some issues. And if there are issues, only that website developer can fix them... There's nothing that you can do from your end, you just have to note the websites with this restriction.

  • Some sites (Youtube, Comcast, etc., think I'm using an old version of Firefox, but I have the latest version.

    Some sites such as Youtube, Comcast, and others give me a warning that I am not using a compatible browser and suggest installing Firefox (among others).
    Even this page that I am typing on now thinks I have Firefox 2.0.0.14!
    However, I have Firefox 3.6.12 installed and seemingly working fine. I've even tried re-installing the latest version of Firefox over my current installation (I don't want to uninstall first, as I am afraid of losing my Bookmarks), but to no avail.
    Can anybody tell me what's wrong? Thanks very much!

    See:

  • Some tables show up in Internet Explorer and not on Modzilla

    I just noticed that some of the cats on the Our Cats page of my website,
    www.freedomfarm.net, show up on Internet Explorer, but not on Modzilla FireFox.  They are actually listed as a table on the page with a picture and text.   I will confess that I cheated.  I copied the table code from another website that I liked.  But since it works on IE and some of them work on Modzilla, I don't think that is the problem...could be wrong though.   If anyone has any ideas what might be causing this, I sure would appreciate the help.  Thanks!

    There is obviously an inbalance with your 'comment' tags <!--------------------->. Go into your pages code and delete everyone before and after the <hr> tags and the missing cats will appear. I don' t have time to figure out exactly which are casuing the issue, anyway other than mark the end and beginning of a section which the <hr> tag already does for you they are'nt required.

  • Some modules and texts on my website are not displaying appropriately on Firefox.

    Hello Firefox forum:
    I have noticed a problem on my website every now and then when I open my website with Firefox. This problem is not evident all the time but 1 out of 3 times, whenever I open my website with Firefox, some of the text and other elements get abnormally super-sized or abnormally small. At first, I thought the problem would heal itself but for months now it has not gone away and it keeps haunting my website.
    The interesting thing here is I have never once seen this problem with any other web browser apart from Firefox. All the other web browsers display contents of my website very well.
    [REMEMBER THAT THE PROBLEM DOES NOT SHOW EVERY TIME YOU VISIT MY WEBSITE WITH FIREFOX. IN ORDER TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM, YOU WILL NEED TO KEEP REFRESHING KESSESPAGE.COM OVER AND OVER [ABOUT 5 - 6 TIMES] IN ORDER TO SEE A SAMPLE OF THE PROBLEM. THUS IF IT DOES NOT MANIFEST ITSELF AT THE VERY FIRST TRY. ]
    Link to my website>>> http://www.kessespage.com
    Please help me find a solution to this.
    Thank you,
    Emmanuel Kesse.

    A couple times I saw the wording "General stuff" and the associated price display in a large font. Didn't notice any other anomalies right away. I was using NoScript, so possibly some scripts would have led to other changes.

  • F4 help on variable screen only shows text or key...not both

    In some queries, the F4 help will only show text oy key but not both. For example, the F4 help on 0employee only gives a list of personnel numbers. The search in the dialog box only works for the pernrs and we can't search for names.This is happening in some infoset queries and queries that are on multi-providers.
    Is this something to do with read mode? Settings in the multi/infoset?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi all,
    I still have the same problem with NW7.0 SPS15. Does anyone have a solution for this? Changing the Provider specific properties in the InfoCube or MultiProvider did not help for the web variable dialog.

  • Does anyone have problems with some websites where text is overwritten and it is impossible to navigate the site as the buttons to for example confirm purchases do not work?

    I am having problems with some websites - e.g. Easyjet and more recently the Sport Relief website, where the text overwrites other text and images and it means it is impossible click to accept, confirm or find further information?

  • Muse site shows mobile version in Chrome but not in Explorer

    HI
    I have recently started making websites in muse. I have made desktop and mobile versions of the website. When I view the website on my Surface Pro 3 (with its hi resolution 12inch screen) in Chrome or Firefox it will only show the mobile version and I can't make it change. However when I view it in Explorer or Safari it shows up as desktop. I really need this website to display constantly. Has anyone got any ideas?
    - I have tried to make Chrome display the desktop version but it wont do it. 
    - I've tired zooming in and out
    - The website is www.metech.co.nz
    - I have thought about adding a tablet version that looks like the desktop

    Hello,
    I just navigated to the site your provided on our Surface Pro 3 and was redirected to the desktop layout you created.
    Can you try the following for us?
    Delete ALL of the cache and cookies in the browser
    Chrome: Delete your cache and other browser data - Chrome Help
    Firefox: How to clear the Firefox cache | Firefox Help
    Navigate to your site in the browsers experiencing the issue (www.metech.co.nz)
    Also can you tell us the following?
    Is your site hosted on Business Catalyst or a third party server (ex. GoDaddy, Blue Host, etc.)?
    If it is hosted on Business Catalyst, do you recall which option you selected from the "Redirect" drop-down when publishing the site? You can access this by doing the following:
    Open your Muse file
    From the "File" menu select "Publish to Business Catalyst"
    Click on "Options"
    Observe the option that is selected by default for the "Redirect" drop-down
    If you could let us know if this resolved the issue or not we would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks!

  • I just bought some TV shows on iTunes and it will not transfer to my iPod. It says it's not authorized, I followed the directions to authorize my computer (it was already authorized) and still can't get them onto my iPod. Help?

    I have a 160 G iPod classic and there is plenty of room on it, I double checked that it is set to sync TV shows and movies, everything I can think of. These shows will not sync and will not drag and drop into my iPod. I just bought the shows, so I don't see how it could be an issue with it being old content or DRM or anything. Any help is most appreciated!

  • Why do some devices show up as wireless clients and not DHCP clients

    When looking at the 'Logs and Statistics' section it shows me the MAC addresses of 3 wireless devices I have on my W/LAN (Macbook and 2 wireless PVR's) in the 'wireless clients' section but no info on the 2 wireless PVR's in the DHCP clients section. Only the Macbook appears there with its ip address shown. Can anyone tell me how to find out the ip addresses of these 2 other devices. I tried connecting one of the PVR's via a cat 5 but that one still doesn't show up in the DHCP clients section.

    Try scanning with WakeOnLan to get a list of all devices and their IP addresses. If the devices got fixed IP addresses at the factory, they won't show up under DHCP.

  • How do you configure Dreamweaver to accept PHP in live view when set up with a local testing server (ie., localhost:8888) via MAMP (not MAMP Pro)? My site shows up in the browser, but not in DM live view. Thanks.

    I am using a Macbook Pro with Yosemite and cannot get live view to work in conjunction with my local server or with my php files.
    What could be wrong? I have set up/synced everything with my root folder in htdocs.
    Thanks:-)
