1. Go to http://underwire.msn.com 2. Click large photo to enter site 3. At the very bottom of the page is the "Image Credits", listing people's names. It is the wrong font, size, and color in Mozilla M4. On IE5, the page looks normal. I extracted what seemed like the minimal enclosing <FONT>...</FONT> code from the .html file: <FONT FACE="arial, helvetica, geneva" SIZE="-2" COLOR="#666699"> <A HREF="http://go.msn.com/npl/terms.asp" TARGET="_parent">&#169; 1999 Microsoft and/or its suppliers. All rights reserved. Terms of Use.</A> </FONT> <BR> <FONT FACE="arial geneva sans-serif" SIZE="-2" COLOR="#666699"> <SPAN STYLE="font: 8pt arial, geneva, sans-serif; color: #666699"> <P> <CENTER> Image Credits (in order of appearance): <BR> COVER: SuperStock<br> CONTENTS: SuperStock (header)<br> Jay Koelzer/Index Stock Photography<br> Dugald Bremner/Tony Stone Images<br> Benjamin Shearn/FPG International, LLC<br> Susan Wright <BR> </CENTER> </SPAN> </FONT> However, this HTML snippet looked normal in both IE5 and Mozilla M4. Apparently, CSS or something else on the Underwire page is affecting Mozilla's font choice.
I have successfully narrowed down the bad HTML on the Underwire page. There are three HTML "paragraphs" I stripped out. With Paragraph 1 and 2, Paragraph 3 has the wrong font. If you remove Paragraph 1 *AND* 2, then Paragraph 3 has the correct font. If you remove Paragraph 1 *XOR* 2, then Paragraph 3 has wrong. <HTML> <BODY> <FONT FACE="arial," SIZE="-1" COLOR="#666699"> <SPAN STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; color: #666699"> <P> <A href="#top"><B>back to the top</B></A> </SPAN> </FONT> <P> <FONT FACE="arial, helvetica, geneva" SIZE="-2" COLOR="#666699"> <SPAN STYLE="font: 8pt arial, geneva, sans-serif; color: #666699"> <A HREF="http://www.microsoft-online-sales.com/" TARGET="_top"> Advertising Opportunities</A> <P> <A HREF="http://go.msn.com/npl/privacy.asp" TARGET="_parent">Privacy Policy (WRONG FONT???) </A> </SPAN> </FONT> <BR> <FONT FACE="arial, helvetica, geneva" SIZE="-2" COLOR="#666699"> <A HREF="http://go.msn.com/npl/terms.asp" TARGET="_parent">&#169; 1999 Microsoft and/or its suppliers.
